Temperature controller fixed

I managed to fix the temperature controller on my fermentation fridge. It was a simple matter of a loose wire on the back of it.

In case you were wondering what it is, it's basically just a temperature-controlled switch which sits between the power outlet and the fridge. When the fridge temperature (measured by a probe) goes above a set level, the fridge is switched on. When it has cooled down enough, the fridge is switched off again.

This is used to keep the fermenter at a suitable temperature. In the summer in Auckland the ambient temperature is generally too warm for beer fermentation. I'm aiming for about 20 degrees centigrade - much higher and funny flavours can be produced.

The temperature controller can also be used to control a heater belt, which I might need in the winter time. Either that or I'll just switch to brewing lagers which need a much lower temperature!
