Questions and Answers

This carboy thermowell is used in conjunction with the Digital Thermostat to more accurately regulate internal temperature during fermentation. It is exceptionally useful during the start of fermentation when the lag between ambient temperature in the refrigerator and actual temperature in the carboy can vary greatly. Now you can keep your beer or wine within one degree of the set point on your digital controller. Designed to fit either the 5, 6 or 6.5 gallon carboys, or any other similarly sized opening hole, the unit comes with an 15" stainless steel thermowell with a 1/4"ID and a #6 stopper. It can be used in any container with a stopper opening where you need to accurately monitor and control liquid temperature. You can use this with your refrigerator for exact cooling temps, or use it with one of our heating products to control how warm your fermenter gets.

Note: Not compatible with the analog temperature controller or Better Bottles.

Perfect

Other than stopper wanted to keep sliding out, a little duct tape handled that. It worked great.

Useless as is

The stopper is way too small. This is essentially useless as is with any standard 3/5/6 gallon glass carboy.

Works as expected

I am giving 5 stars because after three batches maintaining perfect temperature using the thermowell and temperature probe was exactly what I expected. As far as the stopper that comes with the thermowell, I just removed it and drilled an additional hole in a larger stopper and inserted the well. Too easy!

Slightly small but works

The stopper is smaller than I'd like but I'm not worried about it going through the hole in the Big Mouth Bubbler lid. Other than that, great item so far.

Works Great!

I used this for a thermoelectric cooler I built. It is large enough to fit the standard temperature probe on the STC-1000 controller.

Great product

I installed an stc1000 probe and retrofitted it to my fermentation bucket. Is also easy to bend if needed.

Stopper Thermowell

Works Great! Inserted the probe into the thermowell once the wort temperature was close to my fermenting chamber temperature and allowed the compressor to be controlled by the wort temperature.

Buyer beware

The stopper is too small. When wet it slips right through the carboy hole. After this happened to me I had to leave it in the beer during fermentation. The silicone-like stopper released some solvent or something into the beer and it smells bad. Had to dump the batch.

Reviewed by: Dave on 6/9/2015

stopper is very slippery

the stopper is not made from the same silicone as other stoppers. It's very smooth and difficult with a glass carboy. It almost slipped into the carboy and conversely slipped out far enough to not keep a seal during fermentation.

Q: Is there a way to use this with a standard 7.9 gallon plastic fermenting bucket?

Asked by: Brian - 8/27/2016

A: Yes, You would just need to make the proper modification to the lid of the bucket to accommodate either the thermowell tube it self or the bung the thermowell is attached to.

Q: Is the thermowell flared out at the top? I'd like to use this as a thermowell in my corny keg and was wondering if it would seat on top of the standard dip tube port.

Asked by: Sean Malloy - 8/17/2016

A: The Thermowell is flared out on top, though it is too small for the keg port. The tube is also crimped on the bottom end and cannot fit through the port either. I do have a secondary fermenting lid available that will fit the Thermowell. Here is the link to the product.

Q: I just received my thermowell and am worried because it continues to pop out and will not seat. the stc-1000 probe fits perfectly but the bung is loose. is this a problem? any solutions?

Asked by: Stan Kendall - 7/29/2014

A: As long as the stopper is seated on top of your carboy then everything is good. A tip on getting it to stay in the bung hole would be to get the glass and the bung as dry as you can before inserting the bung, sometimes if the bung and the carboy are very wet it will have the tendency to pop out.
