Looking for some advice on what I think might be my next move in temp control...
I fermented for a while in a chest freezer with a single stage temp controller taped to the side of the bucket with some insulation around it. My chest freezer was eventually repurposed and I've been fermenting in the basement (50-57 ambient) in a large bin filled with water and a fish tank heater adjustable from 62 - 72 or so.
I think both have worked ok but would like to have a little more control and less worrying about it going forward.
I've got either that same chest freezer or a new one available now. Doing some research... It seems like the Inkbird 308 along with the Lasko My Heat (200 watt?) in a chest freezer is a popular option. Anyone have this setup or can comment on any downsides/alternatives?
Also... Aside from buying the jacketed versions of all of these cool/expensive conicals... Where is everyone putting these things where they can control temp?
Appreciate any thoughts!
