To answer Gav's question, there are two carboy style bungs on the HX rods that seal up the lid and the weight of the device itself keeps that contact solid throughout the brew. The question about kill rates is also very important. The reason most peltiers break is due to the expansion and...

I'm bringing home a test unit this weekend so I'll open the windows and let the steamy air in. It was around 90% humidity today, so I'll report back.

That would be hard to say exactly. At those volumes, the device will struggle. It is designed to have certain surface area contact per gallon of liquid and by increasing that ratio, our ability to pull heat out will diminish. You should be able to achieve ale temps but without the right jacket...

The first round of these devices will only be available to the U.S., but when we begin shipping outside, most likely in mid 2014, we will have the units in celsius so no worries there. Regarding humidity, it does hamper the performance of our heat dissipation system slightly, but to how much, I...

The technology we are using is capable of doing so, but we are not including the heater capability in the first version of The LagerJacket. It is a feature we may include in the future, but with the prevalence of off the shelf heating solutions, we feel the best value add we can provide is...
