SSR's necessary for fermentation chambers?

Post by cyberbackpacker »

I am wanting to use the BCS as a dual stage (heat and cool) controller for three different ferm chambers and a serving chamber- a chamber for ales, a chamber for ferm lagers, and a lagering chamber.

The cooling of these chambers are: two refrigerators, a freezer, and a muffin fan powered chamber that pulls air from the freezer to ferment the ales.

For heat, I plan on using a basic 110v light receptacle and ceramic bulb.

Do I need to have SSR's in place to run these? If so do I need one for both the heat and cool? Thanks. Just trying to get this ball rolling and figure this all out.

Yes, you will need one ssr for each, so each can control a separate powered circuit for either heating or cooling.
