sweet! good luck

Thanks.. So far my tests have been working.. I've been able to maintain about 67 degrees pretty well.. The next thing I need to get is a thermowell, because my temp probe is picking up ambient air a lil bit..

Just tape your probe to your conical, and insulate it from ambient with some bubble wrap for insulation.

ya I cheated a lil bit and used some left over student loan money for it... I just really didn't like messing with carboys and siphoning.. I bought a fridge well before my conical, but it was too small to fit the conical.. I plan on making an area to store either cornys or cases of conditioning beer too..

I'll have to try that out.. I used some tape and tried that a bit but was still getting a 10 degree difference.. I'll have to try the bubble wrap out.. Thanks..

pritty cool man.. but a free fridge on cregslist and a temp controller would have been easier.. and looked alittle nicer.. just sayin
