Just wanted to say thanks for all of the help. Since attaching the probe directly to the outside of the carboy and insulating, the temperature has stabilized incredibly well! I've not noticed any large temperature swings over the past 36 hours. The fan goes in today as an extra measure...

All good on the safe handling, but appreciate you looking out for me. Learned the hard way on the neck collars :D

Thanks again for your help. I'm planning to put a fan in today -- seems there is 100% consensus that this should be done. Placing the thermowell to the side will be difficult since I use carboys. I guess buckets are inexpensive and this could be done, but I'm a bit reluctant due to the...

Thanks. Where and how do you mount the PC fans? Are there any special considerations that need to be made? Cheers!

My concern with this is that the thermowell would be measuring the temperature of the beer from the center of the carboy, while the outside walls would continue to heat beyond what the probe is reading. I do think finding a less intense heat source (like the reptile cable) would benefit me...

The Lasko MyHeat has a fan built-in. I've tried to position it so it distributes heat evenly, but it's difficult to do this coming from only one side. Thanks. I read through a number of threads on placement of the probe, and it seemed like many advocated for placing the probe in an...

I recently setup a 7 cubic foot chest freezer with an ITC-308 temp controller and a Lasko MyHeat for the heat source. I can't figure out how to evenly heat the chamber. I have the set value @ 67*F and the deviations @ 2*F for heat and 1*F for cool. The temperature seems very stable when I...

Thanks for the additional info. May have to put this to the test soon :D

Can you help explain how this is different from other immersion chillers on the market? I see nothing on your website or here that details what makes this a better chiller. It just says it's faster without giving any real specifications or details on how or why it's faster. Thanks.

Greatly appreciated. Cheers!

New to this, and I know little to nothing about electrical work. Hoping someone can help prevent me from ruining my equipment or setting the house on fire. I've got a 7.0 c.f. GE chest freezer: FCM7SHWW. Will the ITC-308 be okay with this plugged into cool and the Lasko MyHeat plugged...
