Ranco Digital Temperature Controller - Wired
FE610
Now
you can precisely control the temperature of your fermentation, or a
pump on your All-Grain System.
To
control ferment temperatures you can place the probe inside the space
that is being cooled or heated (often a refrigerator) or you can place
the probe directly into the ferment using our Stopper Themowell, FE612.
You can change from cooling to heating mode directly from the digital
control panel. When in cooling mode, and hooked up to a refrigerator or
other cooling device, the controller turns the compressor on when the
ambient temperature rises above your set point. When in heating mode
and hooked up to our FermWrap (preceeding page) the controller turns on
the heater when the temperature drops below your set point. A FermWrap
around a fermenter or inside a unplugged refrigerator can be the ideal
solution for those cold winter ferments.
To control a pump when mashing you would install a thermowell in your
mashtun. This can be done in our welding shop or, if you have a coupler
in your kettle, you can install our Coupler Thermowell, FE616.
The
unit features an adjustable differential down to within one degree in
both heating and cooling modes. This means you can precisely control an
environment to within one degree of your set point.
The
included sensor probe monitors the temperature while the digital
readout displays it in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The sensor probe
is 1/4 in diameter and works well with the Stopper or Coupler
Thermowells. Temperature Range of -30 to 220F.
We
also use this digital controller in conjunction with our stainless
steel conical fermenters and Brewing Sculptures. With the fermenters it
monitors and regulates our electronic cooling units through a
thermowell that is permanently installed in the side. With the Brewing
Sculptures it can monitor and regulate Mash and Hot Liquor tank
temperatures by turning pumps on and off. For more information about
these configurations please see the Brewing
