Hi guys, I'm thinking about building a fermentrack setup. One issue I have is that for my fermentation vessels (WilliamsWarn Brewkegs), installation of a thermowell is not practical. I don't want to risk losing my warranty on them and I'm afraid if I start drilling holes for stainless thermowells I might not get a good seal that holds under pressure. I usually let my brews carb up towards the end of fermentation and don't want to lose that.

So my question is: is there a control algorithm in fermentrack that is suitable for a 'temp probe taped to side' method? Obviously that's not going to achieve anywhere near the control accuracy of the recommended method but what I'm wondering is whether it is still worth it.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
