I think i`ve sorted the tanks out for the 200ltr brewery,
But i`m now looking for something that will keep the fermenter at the correct temp,
with it being for a 200ltr fermenter i wondered if anyone could reccomend something
as i dont have a clue as to what would work for this.
It would need to hold it 20 deg C and then also be able to drop it to around 6 deg C

Still need any suggestions on this,
I was thinking of building a cupboard to house the 5` tall fermenter and control it with electronics ?

Sounds like you need to build a cold room - or buy one on ebay? Are your FVs jacketed? If so you can circulate warmer or colder water through the jackets. On a smaller scale, I think adm or another member took the door off a fridge and attached an insulated cupboard instead. A TC10 or similar was used to either switch on the fridge or a small heater, and a small electric fan circulated the air round the fridge and cupboard.

There is an article on this very topic in the November issue of " Brew Your Own" check it out.
