Ok, so I have a years worth of brewing under my belt and I'm ready to attempt a more streamline temp control setup. Up until now I've been doing the swamp cooler.
Could someone take a look at my drawing and give me a few suggestions? Please don't cut me up too much, I am no artist. Also, I've never done anything like this before, so I may have something completely wrong.
How it works:
A stainless steel immersion coil in the fermenter attached to the lid. Both ends of the coil are attached to 2 lines whose ends are in an electric cooler of some sort. I have a pump hooked to the IN-line and to a Inkbird temp regulator. There is a thermowell installed on the lid. The regulator has a temp probe that fits down into the thermowell.
The idea is to set the temp on the regulator and have it toggle power ON/OFF to the pump.
I live in California, so a heating element isn't needed for the styles I'm brewing.
Any thoughts? I looked for videos or even pictures and came up dry. Perhaps I'm using the wrong search string.
