Fridge / Fermenter Controller Kit Idea
I have been looking forward to providing simple electronic kits to
help people with homesteader projects. My first kit is going to be a
thermostat with 4-line text display. The idea is this thermostat can
be used with a device like a chest freezer to convert it over to a
refrigerator. This setup can reduce home refrigeration utilities by
20x. The same kit could also be used as a fermentation control device.
Using this kit would allow for a precision temperature controlled
environment which is important for things like tempeh, yogurt, cheese,
wine, etc... Here is the sketch of how things would connect. When
being used as a fermenter a heating element (20W light bulb) would
normally be used instead of the freezers compressor.
