Thanx for the info, The units I am using were removed from an in car cooler I think, all the parts came together, from the e-bay purchase. This is guy who sold them and the exact thing I purchased. http://www.korhonen.ca/Peltier%20Cooler%20Fun.html It is working as well as I expected...

Box seems to be working very good, House temp is 80 (53%) humidity. Carboy 4.5 Gallons IPA temp is holding at around 18.5 deg C +.5 deg C. Run time to maintain temp is around 10 min every hour. Nice to have a third place to ferm! This will be an overflow Ale box.

I think if I doubled everything and made a better box maybe, but you might as well find a small fridge that fits your carboy or bucket for lagers. You could spend a lot more money and buy much bigger peltier coolers mine run on about 3 amps each.

I had the ferm box I made a long time ago from another DIY post on this site (can't find it at this time). Box, 1 Sheet of 3/4 rigid foam 25$ (Guess only) I used reflective tape 10$ A roll of foam tape 10$ For the above box I used a basic thermostat computer fan (12v) and Frozen jugs of...

The thermal grease took a day or two too "cure", I added another fan to blow more volume across the cooling fins. It works a lot better, I have not added any "damp rid" yet, and I have not actually tried to ferment. Problem now is that it will freeze up and I lose efficiency because of the...

Thanx Walker, this will be my newest upgrade.

Need a drip tray! :D

Stupid question, but how do you get the gallon jug to balance so nice? Is there a fitting holding it?

What is the blue thing holding the carboy?

Does anyone have a good "Brew Log" When to take temps, PH, starch test, etc? Trying to not reinvent the wheel, I do that enough with everything else. Thanx in advance

I'll try that next week

Brewdaster day, 1st) 5 gallon mash tun does not hold 13#s of grain, plz insert idiot here... (me) Kinda like going to the candy store when you are hungry, have no idea what I was thinking. 2nd) I have temp control problems try overshooting your mash temp all the way to frikkin 180...

On the first question, i would go with just one switch, there is no reason for two, mine is up for fwd and down for reverse. (IMO) You do nice work so it might look better if you make a wood box that matches your masterpiece for the switch and CAP. Why don't you cover the motor and the...

Thanx for the ideas, I stole them and made my own!

Are they really friends if they are trying to touch your drive shaft!!! :off:

Funny! I would have NEVER thought about it, when you posted the drawing, I was holding a switch that I had bought in High school (long time ago), so I may have paid a buck for it 30 years ago. No clue why I have stuff and it's really hard not to become a pack rat when you find something...

Thanx for the wiring, This is the way I did it also, forward and reverse one switch. :ban:

Stupid question but is there a + or - side to this capacitor? Or can it be connected wither way?

Just curious, why are you not going with direct drive? I just got my couplings today, motor should be here tomarrow.

OK good! I have no problem trying to figure out how to exceed them! "Scotty I need more power!"
