Is the thermowell used for the FTSs sensor the same as that used for the little digital thermomenter? (not the sensor itself, the thermowell is what I'm asking about).

Why not inside? Wouldn't that give. More accurate reading?

I'm planning on getting an SS Brewtech Chronical (probably 7 gallons) Brewmaster edition, and using a non-FTSS temp controller to control temps. For anyone who's done this, how did you install the temp probe in the fermenter? Using their thermowell and dumping the digital thermometer...

For those recommending an Inkbird controller to control a fridge-based chiller, which model do you use? The ITC-308? Something else?

Newbie kegging question: I know you are supposed to carbonate at serving temperature. My plan is to use a jockey box at a hot outdoor event. So the kegs will be warm and the beer will be cooled by the jockey box. What temperature should I carbonate at? 32F? Something else?

Reviving an old thread, but was hoping on info on how the extract version went. If it went well, I'd love a more detailed recipe - I'm very new and this isn't quite enough info for me to make it work.... Thanks.

Two questions (if they were answered up-thread, my apologies) about CraftGBeerPi: 1) Is there support for non-temperature sensors (like volume)? 2) Is there support for using a 1wire i2c controller rather than attaching sensors directly to the GPIO pins? Thanks.

Oops, wrong thread. Please disregard.

Most of the Strangebrew discussion seems to be over on reddit these days: reddit.com/r/strangebrew.

Oooh.... I like that....

I'm considering switching from bottling to kegging, and have one pressing concern. One of the main places I bring homebrew is a two week long camping event each summer, where electricity is not available (ice is). With bottles it's easy - just keep them in a cooler on ice. But what about...

Just what the subject says. Anyone using it? Reviews? How does it compare to the original Brewtroller? Also, anyone using as a fermentation controller? How does that work out for you?

Oh, wow! That plus a BrewPi or something will be awesome. I was going to go with ftss but was annoyed that a) couldn't use it to both chill and heat, b) not programmable, and c) no remote access to controller. This solves all the problems.

Is silicone tubing safe to boil? I'm assuming yes, since it's used to move boiling wort around... Thanks!

Oops, double post.
