Thanks! That's the info I needed to make me feel better about my purchase. I am thinking of getting a second one for keg temp control before the price goes up. This one is for fermentation freezer kit.

Thanks, that is a great idea. I should have known better with the other one because the reviews said they would quit after about a year. I'll try this one. At this price it is worth replacing every year. I just thought maybe someone had used one for an extended time.

Has anyone used this controller for any length of time? I bought a different model and three times as much and it lasted for a year.

Here is a local brewery that has an incredible candy cane porter and I was wondering when the can't canes might be introduced and at what quantities?

I do a full boil in a heavy duty 10 gallon brew pot. My MLT is a 10 gallon igloo cooler. I make five gallon batches so they probably don't make them big enough for my system at this pointe but think its a great idea. Safer and less power consumption.

I was wondering if there is an induction heating unit out there that's big enough for a brew pot or MLT? If so, does anyone have experience with it? Where can you buy one? I seen an infomercial about a portable hot plate style and immediately thought this would be great for home brewing but...

This turned out to be my best brew ever! Can't stop drinking this one.

I will most definitely brew this one again. Thanks!

Just started brewing this today! I love this beer from fff and hope this is close! I will update in a few weeks.

Thanks! I just ordered one. It has very good reviews. Fast read and very accurate. A Christmas present to myself.

I have bought and used several thermometers and get different readings from almost all of them. I am willing to spend some money on a good accurate digital thermometer but don't want to buy several until I am happy. Can you suggest a good one?

Going to run some off and boil it and put it back in until I come up to temp. Will this cause any problems?

I am brewing and I mashed at 152 for 60 minutes but I am having a very difficult time getting my grain bed up to 168. How long do I have to get the temp up there. I'm at 162 now??

That is some of the best advise I have gotten Thank you!

Could I maybe replace the crystal with some honey malt? And maybe some more bettering hops at 60 min?
