As the last poster said, i can adjust temps etc etc from my phone anywhere as far as i am aware.
I have changed the required temp whilst at work and as far as i know, it was changed in real time, from mobile network to my home wifi.
Thanks I am very tempted with the WiFi ones they do look good I'll keep a eye out over next few days but think I'll just go for the cheaper option as I will be near it most the time I don't think it'll be to much a issue for me

It even provides a trace/graph of the temps which is interesting.

The Wi-fi one is brilliant. I’m sat in work on my lunch break and just set a bitter that’s in my fermentation fridge in the garage at home to crash cool ready to bottle tomorrow.
Whilst I was away on holiday last week I managed to raise the temperate remotely for a diacetyl rest, and as LeeH says, you can monitor the temperature by looking at the graph.

Nearly built just need a bit of wood for a shelf and I'm done, did anyone else manage to get their heater with enough space around it to the instruction manual? Mine quotes 200mm away from a shelf which seems impossible

Hello folks,
Iv just set up my beer fermentation fridge with the inkbird 308. Probably the wrong time of year to be doing it as it sounds like i could have got away with just a heat pad and leaving it in the shed. Oh well........ my only question is..........is it best practice to stick the thermometer probe into the fermentation bucket so it sits in the beer or leave it outside the bucket? I bought the inkbird with an extra long probe to stick in the beer as it ferments as i thought this made sense

thanks......iv just ordered a thermowell (hope its the right size)............and hope it does the trick
Nowhere near 8" gap between my heater & wooden shelf the fermenter is sat on. Not been a problem. Heater is only 40W & with ~20L of water to keep warm there's plenty of inertia....
Do you have a link of photo of your heater instructions? 200mm is a huge distance.
FYI - my heaters are well within that distance, probably closer to 50mm. No issues.
Here’s one manufacturer’s guidance - and let’s face it, they’re all the same, cylinders full of oil with an element inside:
Edit to add the url, because the resolution of that image looks horrendous on my phone.

FYI - I’ve fermented beers at 19/20C in a fridge with a 60W heater. With the ambient temps South of -10C. They’re brilliant things.

I use a fan (well actually 2 fans connected to one usb) in my fridge too. Out of interest do you keep the fan on all the time or plug it into one of the sockets on the inkbird (along with the heater or fridge?).

It comes on when the heater does. With the lamp I put it right near it.
