I've been playing with a temperature control system I've created. It's basically a microcontroller that reads temperature probes and uses the information to turn on and off a pump / fan system and a compressor to keep things at target temperature.
I brewed up a blonde ale for my first test batch, and the system is pretty solid now (capable of keeping the temperature within a degree of target, according to readings.)
I've now got a 12" stainless steel tube that you can order (pre-welded) here:
Welcome to Brewer's Hardware
I'm wanting to put a probe in one and submerse it in my beer while it ferments to get a little more fine tuned control over fermentation temps.
When a particular brew or yeast has a recommended fermentation temperature, is it referring to the ambient temperature? If I were to try to maintain an internal fermentation temperature, what would be an appropriate strategy?
Thanks to anyone with input.
