Duvel is a good friend when you are cleaning your house. Had a nice pillowy head the whole way down. Used to be one of my favorites but there is too much pilsner cripness in it. For the fermentation chamber I got a two stage Ranco controller from Morebeer.com and wired it myself. It can be used for both heating and cooling at the same time, however, not usually needed. What I do is put the probe in contact with the bucket or carboy and place a piece of foam over it and tape it to the carboy. It will monitor the temp of the fluid instead of the ambient air in the chamber.

Kicking back enjoying a Belgian? Not my "cup of tea" , but the picture makes it look inviting. Been looking at materials to build a Son of Fermentation box. Lots of plans online. Do you use a thermostat or temperature controller that adjusts for heating as well as cooling? Can they do both during one fermentation period?
