There are plenty of websites out there that have plans for these and the wiring is easy so I won't go into any real detail. The main component I used was an STC 1000 controller from Amazon. This controller has a lot of bang for the buck. It is a dual mode device, that is it can cycle between both heating and cooling with out having to manually make the change. In the pic, the bottom outlet connects to a heat source and the top plug connects to the cooling source. What I am planning to do is use an old chest freezer to do the cooling and tape a FermWrap to the front inside as the heat source. I purchased a long thermowell that I am going to mount through a fermenter lid to house the temperature sensor.
Can't wait to try making a Lager!
