One way to keep your conical fermenter cool is to use an external temperature control device or the “cooling wrap” method. Temperature control devices such as The Ghost or similar devices offer precise temperature control using both cool and warm functions.
These devices come with probes to monitor the temperature in the conical fermenter, and adjustable cool and warm settings for you to set. The device then uses an attached refrigerator or freezer to help keep the temperature in the conical fermenter within range
The cooling wrap method is a simpler, more budget-friendly alternative to using a temperature control device. This method involves physically covering the conical fermenter with a wet cloth or towel, while placing the fermenter in a larger container or bucket.
This container should be filled with a combination of water and either ice or frozen jugs of water to help keep the fermentation temperature low. Additionally, you can fill any empty space in the container with more water or ice to help insulate your conical fermenter and help maintain a cooler temperature.
Make sure to regularly check and replenish the water and ice to ensure maximum cooling potential. To further ensure constant temperatures, maintain the room temperature at a constant level.
Temperature is controlled in a fermenter using a device known as a temperature controller. This device uses sensors to measure the temperature of the contents of the fermenter and then compares that temperature to the desired set temperature.
If the temperature rises above the set temperature, cooling processes are activated, and if the temperature falls below the set temperature, heating processes are activated to adjust the temperature of the fermenter.
In addition, fans can be used to aid in temperature control and to allow for more accurate measurements. Insulation can also be added to the fermenter to help maintain the desired temperature as well.
Temperature controllers can vary in accuracy, depending on the type and quality of the device used, and they should be chosen carefully to ensure proper temperature control of the fermenter.
