I have the Johnson Controls analog controller that I use to control beer fermenting temperatures on a chest freezer. I upgraded to the Ranco ETC Digital and it is much, much better. The analog has a +-3 degree range as the Ranco has remained pretty stable at +-1 degree. As many home brewers know maintaining a constant fermentation temperature is key to having a great end product. I'd highly recommend spending the few extra dollars for the Ranco vs. the Johnson Controls.

This is my 3rd temp controller. First one went on my 500lb capacity smoker, 2nd went on my dehydrator, and now this one is on my beer kegerator. All 3 work flawless, are reliable, dependable, and accurate. Not to mention reasonably priced. Can't go wrong and you will not regret it once you have it.

I have a refrigerator that broke in such a way that the compressor never cycled off. It froze everything I put in it. I bought this temp controller and wired it with a plug and an outlet and now my fridge works better than ever. This thing saved me some bucks from not having to buy a new fridge.

This is exactly what I needed to get temperature control to my conical 7 gallon fermentor. It works just as advertised. I bought the unwired version meaning I had to wire up an extension cord. I saved about bucks wiring it myself. There are numerous internet sites that show detailed descriptions with pictures on how to do that. It was easy. I used a mutiple outlet extension cord and plugged a couple of 10 dollar heating pads into it. the heating pads are just wrapped around my fermentor. I am currently using this to control temps on my Belgian beers.

I have now had three of these thermostats fail over a 2 year period. Each time an E2 error message appears (which according to the manual and information from a vendor indicates an error in the settings stored in memory or a failure of the controller memory functions). There does not appear to be a fix other than to replace the controller. Rather frustrating since I have used these in accordance with the product instructions and been careful to avoid temperature extremes which might damage the thermaostat. Time to look for another manufacturer!
