Johnson Temp Controller

(1/2) > >>

Just had to shout out about my Johnson Temp Controller.  It's now below 45F consistenly here in PA, so I bought a little heater and placed it inside my chest freezer to keep it at 50F.  The controller has been on cool so I read the manual and was surprised how easy it was to convert it to heat.  Four screws and one jumper later and it was changed.  Now I have a consistent 50F again and ready to brew a lager tomorrow.  Very psyched!  The little heater only cost $10 at WalMart too......

What kind of heater?

It's a Lasko "My Heat" Personal Ceramic Heater.  WalMart had it on sale for $8.95.  Seems to be doing great.  Making some German Lager today!

Thanks I may try that. Doesn't get too cold where I am but maybe cold enough to stall fermentation.

This backfired on me a little.  Temperature got up to 50F here and with 3-5g fermenters in high Krausen, the chest freezer got up to 57F.  I just opened the lid to let some cooler air in.  Still in range but I like fermenting my lagers around 50F.  Gotta roll with the punches of a new process!
