Northern Brewer ThermoStar Digital Temperature Controller for Precise Beer and Wine Fermentation with a Fridge or Heater Review

The first dual-mode digital temperature controller to go from -50°F to 300°F—and back again—with the flip of a switch. Forget the Ready, its low-profile, ultra-mountable design is Set and Go. With a responsive dual-color LED display and modular probe that eliminates the need for a thermowell, perfect homebrew has never been so effortless. ThermoStar is the only temperature controller that you’ll never need to disassemble or re-wire for perfect performance. Tested and trusted by our Brewmasters for its reliability and ease of use, ThermoStar is the temperature controller of choice in our R&D brew cave. No longer is an advanced degree in electrical engineering required to achieve flexibility in fermentation temperature control. With ThermoStar™, switching from heating to cooling is not only easier than ever with the simple push of a button, it is instantly recognizable with an LED screen that displays the target temperature in blue when the unit is in cooling mode and red when it is in heating mode. You will never need to unscrew the unit to make changes or internal adjustments. A low-profile design outfitted with multiple mounting options—everything from magnetic to suction to nail hooks—ThermoStar™ delivers superb, reliable control even in the smallest of fermentation spaces. Upgrade the modular stainless steel probe to our longer 12” model and monitor the actual internal fermentation temperature of your wort without the need for a thermowell.
