Temp controller came today. Going to wire this bad boy in and use the chest freezer for fermentation control until I piece together the kegger parts.

wurd, got mine today, need to order the controller

Gonna blend with your thread if that's cool, Heinz, since I'm in almost the same exact situation. I picked up a GE 15.5cf freezer a couple days ago. $150 delivered, great working condition and clean. Just ordered my ranco. In these pics can anyone tell where I will be installing the controller?

Here Flanny, I drew you a schematic.

Barley-Davidson · 02-06-2010, 07:56 PM

In case you're having trouble reading that schematic - you plug the ranco into the wall and the freezer into the ranco - the controller turns the power on and off to the freezer.

WOP31 · 02-06-2010, 07:58 PM

Seriously I drew you up a better one.

That is some funny ass shit!!!!

Not a problem Flan, it's cool. Wop, that diagram is hilarious. I like the graffiti effect.

I just have to pick up an extension cord before I can wire it in, I'll probably do that tomorrow. Today I spent cleaning an old kegerator that I just got back, and then cleaning out the new chest freezer, and dragging that sumbitch inside. Pretty excited.

Man, wiring up that controller was a cake walk. I have it set to 50 and I'll check it in the morning to make sure. So far it passed the smoke test though.

Time to brew some schwarzbier!
