hiw to control fermentation temp. Consistently.

[Codafisler]

I made a post yesterday about my brew blowing up in foam. Found the problem is it being to warm. I live in an apartment and don't have much space. But my grandfather is into brewing as much as I am and said I could use his garage.
My question is. How do I make something to control the temp of my fermentation. I can build almost anything. I just need blueprints/ideas that have worked. The more control the better.

A freezer or fridge coupled with an STC-1000 will be your salvation.

Yep. Find an old used fridge or freezer on craigslist (you can get refrigerators for very little $$)

Get an STC-1000 and wire it according to one of the threads here and you will never look back.

Swamp cooler. A rubbermaid tub filled with water where your fermenter is placed. Frozen ice bottles dropped in the water can help keep the temp down in warmer situations.
