This should ensure no matter what the outside conditions are, in the fridge, the temperatu...

Hi Ralph, First, thank you for the welcome to the site. Thanks for the great review of the temperature control. Some very interesting material there. The reason I asked the question was because I have developed my own Fermentation Controller. It allows the me to set the heating and cooling temperatu...
