Heater Hacking Part III - Success!

After much shenanigans, our Climate Controlled Fermentation Chamber is working like a charm. It will heat or cool as needed to maintain a specific temperature and has been running for about a week with no problems.

There are still some housekeeping tasks to do to hide the wiring and Shawn is looking for a thermostat that satisfies our requirements and can do remote sensing (so it can be on the outside of the fridge and the probe can be in the beer) but even as-is this thing is wonder.

Later I will post more complete information about how Shawn accomplished this amazing feat of beer-engineering (Beergineering!).
