I have an Inkbird ITC-1000F that I would like to, preferably, mount into the collar of my modified keezer. I grabbed some 2x6" boards and made a collar around a 7.x cu.ft. freezer, mounted my taps, ran lines, etc, how I'm at the point of addressing the temperature controller and sensor. I'm fearful of the condensation or corrosion potential with the back of the controller being in the freezer so asking for a few pointers.
Ideally the temp sensor would mount likely opposite the taps, and maybe run some conduit on the inside collar and through the back of the collar above the compressor, and run the line down from there, maybe in mounted/glued/calked conduit along the back. When thinking about recessing the temp sensor (yeah, I know, I used 2x6... should have used 1x8 but that's for Rev.2!) it occurred to me that I should probably worry about moisture. This is Ca - Bay Area, East Bay (not dry, but not humid either). Is it even worth it to recess it? I'd just think it would look soooo much better if I did this, but I do worry about the sensor, wiring it cleanly, and keeping this in service until I select some hardwood and revise my notes from this build. Thoughts?
