Mine is at my dad's, stuck on the side of our cider FV, in a North facing outhouse with fairly constant temp - perfect conditions, but it would be more use here. Have to get it back soon.

I have a heating belt wired up to a temperature controller:

Temp controller:

Heating belt:
http://www.brewuk.co.uk/store/otherequi ... usage.html

I found that using the heating belts alone made the wort get too hot. By using one of these the belt is only activated when it reaches below a certain temp. I can now ferment confidently within a range of 0.5 degrees, which is pretty cool.

There's a dude in Bristol sells ready wired full function temperature controllers on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0758943700 and direct http://www.cedaronics.co.uk/

I would say that that looks better than mine dammit! For a start it is fully wired in!
For anyone thinking of buying one; one thing that I would recommend asking is whether the probe can be detached from the main unit.... its rather awkward to sterilise otherwise!

Realized I didn't give you that Chinook. Do you still want, or was this the recipe and you redisigned?

I nearly forgot about it too! No rush, next BCB meeting will be ok.

I've been shamed into buying a fermenting 'fridge, I have a tube heater somewhere so I'm going to need one of those fancy controllers now.

Downside is I'll have to sell some stuff to make space, cornies, boilers, pumps to go soon....
