Fast Ferment temp control

[DEMPSEY]

Anyone have one of these conicals. I have one and as I only have 1 fermentation fridge I have this unit hanging on the wall in me Emporium . Trying to control the temp is driving me nuts and all the company offers is a jacket that you put bottles of frozen ice in to so feck that crap . I was considering fitting some sort of stainless steel coil in and out of the lid

Emporium 
You won't need ice surely unless you LB'ers are at that birching again of yourselves in the Sauna?
What about a heater band or belt with a probe in a thermocouple through the lid controlled by an STC?

[DEMPSEY]

I want to cool it too.

Get a larder fridge Mr Dempsey with a 60W heater in the bottom, cooling cools are expensive and host a myriad of paces for gunk to hide.
I know the lads on Jims use beer coolers for lager but really inefficient for our purposes

Thinking along the lines of a small water bath with a heating element in it and a cooling unit too. Fit a solar pump and an STC and run temp controlled Ethylene glycol through a coil fitted to the lid

I'll give us this much we sure do like making life complicated

Ah I remember Nigel doing this now,how does your one perform

[nigel_c]

Love it. Would have been a hell of a lot cheaper to get a fridge but where's the fun in that.
