FridgeMate MKII Digital Temperature Controller Kit

So the kegerator is not working exactly like i want it to, the temperature range is wider than I would like and the refrigerator thermostat is not giving me consistent results. So to solve this problem I am going to throw some money at it! YAY! I just bought a FridgeMate MKII Digital Temperature Controller Kit hopefully this will have a more accurate control over the temperature ranges. If you do decide to go this route, be sure to get the 110v version if you are in North America and using a standard plug in freezer. This will leave an unused hole in the kegerator where the old thermostat went but I might be able to put the new controller in there or cover it up. If all else fails I can just leave the non functioning temperature adjustment where it was.
Now I get to wait for the thermostat to get here from Australia. For some reason the only place that I could find this specific thermostat was MashMaster which is an Australian based brewing supply company. Crazy Aussies.

The Buffalo Theory

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
