Hi all, I bought a Ferm Wrap off MoreBeer so that I could ferment a saison in the mid 70's up into the mid 80's in my basement which is always around 65.
I am using a Johnson blue box digital temp control. I insulted the probe against the carboy, then wrapped the FermWrap around that and the carboy and plugged it into the controller and then into the wall. I set for 75 degree and the Ferm Wrap never fired on. I tried the FermWrap without the controller and it fired up just fine. Why is it not firing on when hooked up the temperature controller? I now have it in a ferm fridge just plugged straight in and the fridge hooked up to the Johnson but that seems to be a weird way to do it.
Thanks
