Inkbird 308 and conical

jbraaten · Nov 23, 2017

So I just got an Inkbird controller and am getting a Fermwrap for my 7.5 gallon conical. I have tried to find an answer to this, but how have you gotten the temp probe into the fermenter? I am reflexing to drilling a small hole in my air lock stopper, but am concerned about sealant issues.

Any suggestions and photos you have how you have tackled this would be appreciated.

I can't believe no one answered your question. I found a combo thermowell and airlock stopper on Amazon. Basically a two hole stopper with a stainless steel tube in one hole. The bottom of the tube is sealed, and you just drop the probe into the tube.

Could you link it, please. Thanks so much for the response.

I am willing, but my ignorance / incompetence gets in the way. If I recall correctly, when I ordered my Inkbird from Amazon, the thermowell stopper turned up among the 'customers also bought' display. Hope that helps.
