Freezer Tempreture Controller

[Dylfish]

Hey guys,

I think im going to go out and purchase a chest freezer to hold my kegs during serving and carbonation, i was looking at the controllers to get the temp around 4-5 degrees and im wondering where i can get the ones that plug into the mains and control it that way rather than me having to wire the fridge , Pin point accuracy isn't majorly needed, just aslong as i cankeep it at a good spread between 3-10 degrees. can anybody help me?

cheers

If you want a plug n play unit Dylfisf check out Auberins in the US, also on Ebay.

You have to wire it up yourself - but it is a fairly straightforward jobbie.

How it works is you plug your fridge/freezer into it, and then plug the unit into the wall. you have a temperature probe that you put inside your fridge/freezer.

The unit will turn your freezer on when it goes above a set temperature, and off when it goes below a set temperature.

All parameters you can set yourself - so they are also good for keeping ferments at certain temperatures too.

Mine does the job perfectly. Keeps the freezer at a constant 3-4 degrees.
