It just makes brewing a much more repeatable process if you have precise temperature control. I am planning next to use my control unit for a meat smoker (govern fan spped/burner temp). I would also say to others considering this if you are going to use one of these sorts of temp controllers, invest in an RTD (resistive thermal device) for the temp probe as they are more accurate than the standard K-type thermocouple at temperatures below about 200 C.

If you recall, the jet car looked to be built out of a Ford pickup with a lot of random old junk on it. Well, back to work on my overthruster. Soon I will be going home, monkey boy!

Omega also makes something similar, for a little cheaper($295), that includes an ethernet interface (CNI16D series). Check their website - www.omega.com. I've been wanting one for my homebrew setup, so I can sit indoors and monitor/log the temp and watch TV while the brewing automaton does its thing. Then, all I would need is that beer-fetching robot from youtube. yours in perpetual flatulence, cmndr flatus This is nice.

The first thing I thought when I read this is that it would be perfect for a home brewing. And overclocked computers.
