yes, i found out very quickly that RS does indeed suck! thanks for the website.

Got mine built today.
I don't have anything particularly innovative in mine - nothing someone else hasn't already done (unless you count color-coding the outlets). I won't show the inside, it's a rat's nest because I was impatient to get it done, but it's all properly connected and wired.
I had to go with a green indicator light for the cooling side because Radio Shack didn't have blue, but beyond that it's all good.
I just got my temp controller today and they sent me a darn 220v even though the aution said 110v for US. See how long it takes qualitylink2000 to reply
These seem to be the same units but they 'convert' them and put a sticker on. With luck you have the correct one.
I see no sticker on anything except the one on the top which shows everything as 220v. How would I tell aside from that?
That I don't know. I'm just saying they may tell you the unit is the proper one but just not correctly labeled. I'm just pointing out they may indeed tell you that and if they do it may well be correct. Just prepare for that possibility.
the way i have done it...
1)i ordered from globalconn ("Buy Now" option)
http://stores.ebay.com/globalconn
2) follow up after the purchase with a message to the seller about purchasing the product with a little reminder that" i am in the USA and need a 110V model."
globalconn has messaged me back the next day both times, stating "Noted and will ship 110V.-globalconn"
seem like cool people

Sorry for such a newbie question.
I am in need for such a fermation temp controll system.
Is this how it works:
After putting the temp controller together... A probe goes into the fridge. The frige plugs into the "cool" side of the temp controller and somekind of heater into the "hot" side. Once you select your temp, the controller decides if it needs hot or cold.
That it?
If I am asking a question that has allready been asked, sorry. I looked around but this thred has too many pages..
Great Forum!!!

This has probably been asked but, how do you set it so that the Heat and Cool cycle don't fight with each other? I set mine up, and it cycles between the two.

Thanks guys. You are probably correct about the thermal mass slowing down the response time. I set the fermentation controller up the day before I brewed. The temp probe was simply hanging in air at the time. I noticed the Heat / Cool cycling so when I brewed I taped the sensor to the side of my conical. I also unplugged the cool side and all was OK. But as luck would have it we are having a few nice weather days now, so I will need to go between heat and cool. I'm stuck at work today, but tomorrow I'll plug in the cool and see what happens. Then take a look at the settings you suggest Walker.
You might want to tape something over the probe as well to insulate it from the air and make sure it's reading the temp of your fermenter. Something as simple as a wash cloth folded over a couple times would suffice.
Myfermentor sits in a water bath which is heated with an element. The probe just lays in the water, as in theory the liquid in the bath should match that in the fermentor
