I made the mistake of starting the fermentation of a light lager (with WLP840 yeast), not checking first to make sure I'd have enough room to fit both buckets into my currently empty kegerator (to ferment at 50-55 degrees). Needless to say, there wasn't enough room. Now I have one bucket in the kegerator and the other bucket in a chest freezer that I've been unsuccessfully trying to manually cycle.
In short, I need to quickly build a temperature controller with parts that I can go buy in a store (today). I have a solid state relay and the odds and ends, but not the thermostat. Everyone here on the forum seems to use the RiteTemp thermostats because they can get down to 35 degrees. However, I cannot find these anywhere. Home Depot does not seem to carry them anymore, even though that's what RiteTemp's website says...and RiteTemp isn't answering their support line.
Anyone know where I could really get one of these? Or have a suggested alternative?
