Description

A properly controlled fermentation temperature is critical to producing quality beer. The Fermentation Temperature Stabilization System (FTSs) is the result of many napkin sketches and applying thermodynamics to advanced brewing practices. The system is elegant in it’s simplicity yet incredibly efficient.

The FTSs uses a precision temperature controller that constantly monitors the temperature of your fermentation to within 1° of its set point. When the temperature of your beer varies by over 1° the system kicks in and circulates your chill source liquid through the chiller coil until temperature is stabilized.

Your chill source can be as simple as a cooler with ice or as sophisticated as our Ss Glycol Chiller. Alternatively if you need to warm your beer, the system is capable of circulating warm water through the coil to bring temperatures up. If your setup requires temperatures to be corrected both up and down, check out our FTSs² Chilling and Heating system!

Only option for temp control with Brew Bucket Mini.

I love my brew bucket mini and this is the best way for me to maintain proper fermentation temps within it

Being able to do a fully temp controlled fermentation will hopefully make a big difference in my brewing consistency. I'm really looking forward to putting this cooling system to use with my brew bucket mini using my old mash tun cooler as the pump house. It will make it possible to bring lagers down to lagering temp slowly before putting them in the fridge to finish and also allow me to brew ales in mid summer without having to worry about temp spikes causing off flavors from the yeast.

It's the fermentation temperature control system made for the brew bucket mini.

Can I reuse the chiller to cool the wort as well?
Dmytro Dobrovolskyi on May 29, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I guess you could, but it's not designed for that. I use a wort chiller and a counter flow chiller to bring it to about 70*. This is really meant to maintain a fermentation temp.

Know issue with pump and controller problems
I purchased this in a kit from Morebeer. My issue is the pump came defective. When I went to SSBrewtech site and did some research, this is a well known issue so buyer beware.

Will update once I get the replacement from Morebeer through warranty but it does leave a bad taste about this system.

Mismatch between Mini Brew Bucket and FTSs
A word of warning: The mini Brew Bucket has recently been updated to provide handles and an attached base. However, the FTSs provided by Morebeer includes a neoprene jacket that does not have holes for the handles or base.

I purchased both the Brew Bucket Mini and this FTSs as part of the same order in Aug. 2020. I contacted SS Brewtech and they informed me that there is an updated jacket, but Morebeer says that they do not yet have it.

Works great
Using this for the first time with the 3.5G Brew Bucket. Working great. Temp set for 68º. Kicks in when temp gets to 1º over. Just a note, have a fair amount of headspace and using 3 piece airlock, sanitizer gets sucked in when temp drops. Changed to S Airlock and that seems better.

Worth it!
I have to travel for work, so I can't have a typical fermentation chamber set up. This works great for temp control and kept it stable through the ferment within 1 degrees above or below the set temp. Great alternative for temp control.
