I did a quick search on here and google and couldn't find anything. Has anyone tried this controller to see if its waterproof? It looks like it is but I don't want to ruin a brand new controller.
Well I think for all practical purposes its waterproof. I've had it submerged in my water fermentation chiller for over a week now and it still works fine.
That doesn't mean it will remain working. They are not waterproof, that being said if you didn't submerge the entire bulb (past where it connects to the wire) you may get away with it. Also why put it in water in your fermentation chamber? That won't allow it to react to the fermenter's inside temps. Just tape it to the side of the active fermenter.
It was like $1 to get it wrapped in the tubing and based on what the instructions say, I didn't think it was waterproof.
Because I'm doing it like this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/water-fermentation-chiller-81501/
