Hey guys, had a question about temp controls, currently we are planning to run Cool Fit Plus for our glycol plumbing. We are using their electric solenoid valves, and are not using a cellar control panel just yet. I was wondering what type of individual temp controllers we could wire up to these valves?

Originally posted by TGTimm View PostFor individual controllers, I like the Fuji PX series.
The main advantage to individual controllers over a cellar panel is avoiding simple mistakes such as crashing the wrong tank, D-rest the wrong tank, etc. I would still suggest you go the cellar panel route. In the end it’s not much more costly and it’s easy to expand down the line. Having all your data/control points in one place is nice.

We've worked with fermenters using the Johnson/Ranco controllers. They do not provide a fine enough temperature control for optimal fermentation. I use them extensively for things like water heating, but not for a ferm. A PID controller--like the Fujis--will keep your temps well within desired limits.
Moist PID controller are DIN mounting, but enclosures can be bought to use them individually or as a cellar panel.
Our brewers are wishing for an upgrade to something they can access from cell phones, but that would require replacing our entire system and might allow others to access the brewery controls.Timm Turrentine
