Temp Control Pump Kit

Temp Control Pump Kit – temperature controller and submersible pump for fermentation

Good temperature control during fermentation is essential for brewing a really good beer. This is an affordable kit with a temperature controller and a submersible pump that circulates cooling water through smaller fermenters with a cooling jacket or cooling coil. The pump is placed in a dedicated glycol chiller or in a water bath inside a fridge.

Contents

• Inkbird WIFI temperature controller, which starts and stops the pump according to the temperature you set
• Submersible pump 12 V, 800 l/h with a 3/8" hose barb, compatible with the hose barbs on Quantor SB Compatible glycol chillers

Tubing is sold separately.

Frequently asked questions about the Temp Control Pump Kit

What else do I need?

A fermenter with a cooling jacket or cooling coil, tubing for the pump and either a glycol chiller or a water bath in a fridge.

Do I need a glycol chiller?

No. The pump can also sit in a water bath in a fridge. A glycol chiller cools the liquid further and has more capacity.

How does the kit control the temperature?

The temperature controller measures the temperature in the fermenter and starts the pump when the beer gets warmer than your setpoint. Cold water is then circulated through the jacket or coil until the temperature is back down.

Why is temperature control so important?

The yeast generates its own heat during active fermentation, and too high a temperature gives off-flavours such as solvent and overripe fruit. Stable temperature is the most important factor for a clean, good beer.
