  • Page 4 INTRODUCTION SYSTEM OVERVIEW The basic principle of the Fermentation Temperature Stabilization System (FTSs ) is to pump chilled water or glycol through the immersion coil when the temperature of your wort is greater than the controller set-point. The system is designed to use chilled ice water from a common cooler or glycol chiller. In this configuration, the submersible pump will be placed in the bottom of the cooler.
  • Page 5 INTRODUCTION (CONTINUED) NOTES ON EFFICIENCY Efficiency of your system depends on many variables. Ideally, you would have the fermenter in an area where the temperatures are relatively moderate. Since the system contains both heating and cooling, the controller will need to be properly setup to avoid over cycling.
  • Page 6 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BREW - SYSTEM ASSEMBLY Think about where you want to locate your Brew Bucket or Chronical series fermenter, where you will place the controller, and where you will place your chilled water source (whether that is an ice chest, chilled corny keg in a cooler, glycol chiller, etc.).

  • Page 8 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED) Vinyl Tubing Hose Clamp Pro Grade Submersible Pump Pump Inlet Cover Place the silicone pump inlet cover over the intake port of the immersion pump. If your cooler is dedicated to the FTSs system, drill holes for the chilled water tubes and place the tubes through the holes with the pump located inside the cooler.
  • Page 9 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED) Temperature Sensor Thermowell Temperature Sensor at bottom of Thermowell Place the digital controller’s temperature sensor into the thermowell. Be sure the sensor goes all of the way into the bottom of the thermowell. Plug in the pump power cable, the heating pad power cable and system power supply as marked on the digital controller.

  • Page 17 FAQs Q – Can I control more than one fermenter with a single FTSs control unit?
