Man this stuff is addicting...

thanks again all the beer was cold and had to be served in pitchers to keep the line and tap cold. Needless to say we drank alot.

You'd have to bypass the temperature sensor/contoller in the Danby to run a digital temperature controller. Which means no display. If you want to keep the display running, just add the $1 100k resistor. With the 100K resistor, I set my Danby to 36 and I pour 36 degree beer using a half barrel. I just keep this liquid thermometer inside the unit to check on my temperature occasionally.

And also I use the digital food thermomter occasionally to check the pour temp. I'd rather spend $100 towards my next 1/2 barrel then buy a temperature controller, when the problem can be easily remedied for $1.

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
