Homebrew Temp Controller Roundup! – Kegerator and Fermentation – concepts, applications and models

homebrew temp controllers

Updated: 5/22/2024

Temperature controllers, sometimes referred to as over-riding thermostats, can control devices like refrigerators, freezers and fermentation heating devices to provide a consistent temperature for your kegerator, fermentation chamber or brew system.  They do this by monitoring the temperature and cycling on and off the device in question.  Generally, you will set the device to full cooling or heating power and the temperature controller takes over from there.

Wired and Unwired

Unwired means.. you have to hook up the electrical wiring.  It does not come with a plug-in cord.  The ITC-1000 is an example of an unwired controller.  That controller requires some additional materials, time and know-how to get working.  Wired means… no AC wiring is necessary, the controller comes with cords that you can plug your cooling and/or heating devices into.

KegLand Brew Bucket Conical Cooling and Heating Coil… $59.49

KegLand 32 Liter Conical Fermenter Cooling/Heating Coil

KegLand 32 Liter Conical Fermenter Cooling/Heating Coil via William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • Includes Extension Legs
  • Large 1″ dump valve removes thick yeast sediments
  • Included Thermowell fits all standard temperature probes

The KegLand 8 gallon Stainless Conical Fermenter is an excellent value. Made from 304 stainless, the inner welds are robotic and very smooth. A center 1” dump valve is large enough to let you get rid of yeast and trub without clogging, while a rotating racking arm lets you drain the fermenter while avoiding any sediment that may remain. The racking arm features a 3/8” diameter hose barb outlet for attaching tubing. Handles make it easy to move and clean.

The stainless lid is silcone gasket sealed, and a thermowell with removable digital centigrade only thermometer is provided, which has a ¼” inner diameter to accept probes from all the temperature controls we sell, including the RAPT Temperature Controller. The centigrade thermometer runs on two included LR44 button batteries.

The unit is 30” tall with airlock, and the included leg extensions will increase that to 33” tall, in case you want more room at the bottom to access the angled dump valve. It is 16” wide including the handles, while the fermenter itself is 13” wide. It features interior gallon markers from 4 to 8 gallons. The dump valve itself has 1” male threads.

Note: This is not pressure rated, and cannot be used for pressure fermentations.

Hands on Review: Ss Brewtech FTSs2 Heating and Cooling System + Limited Time DEAL

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Brewtech FTSs2 Heating and Cooling System

From multiple accounts, the temperature at the start of fermentation is key in controlling the flavor nuances of various yeast strains. Even if you have an elaborate system of heat pads, blankets, towels, water buckets, etc. that allows you to hone in on your desired temperature, it can’t react to changes in your fermentation. If things start to really heat up overnight while you’re sleeping, or during the day when you’re at work, you’re out of luck. Once you start caring about fermentation temperature, it doesn’t take long before you conclude you need something that has its own control to adjust and react to temperatures in real time.

Limited Time Deal:

Chronical FTSs Heating and Chilling Package – 7 gal. FE850

Why are deals on Brewtech gear are rare?

This is a MAP item. MAP = Minimum Advertised Price.  It’s an agreement between sellers and manufacturer’s not to sell an item below a certain price.  This gear generally sells for about the same price no matter where you purchase it from and is rarely discounted.

Dual stage temperature controller with 1,920 watt rating. I would say that 1,920 watt is a higher capacity than many of the homebrew controllers out there. The other higher capacity controller that I’m aware of is Inkbird’s ITC-608T. That has an 1,800 watt rating.
