HUMIDITY

[robarnone]

Hi guys, I have read Len Poli's site many times and know their are commercial line in humidistats available but I was wondering if there is a way to make one on my own. I want to use a Humidistat and be able to run it off a regular 120 v outlet and plug a humidifier into this. This will then turn the humidifier on and off. I am not too good with electronics but I could do it if told how. The problem I have is that the humidistats I find are low voltage and I dont know to rig them for 120v.

Can anyone help please....I dont have the luxury of using a fridge and I am not home all the time to watch the humidity. I made some salami last year and tried to regulate on my own but sometimes when I am at work it gets very humid in the cantina(a mist is in there). Also, will it work to enclose a part of the cantina with insulation to keep the humidity and temperature constant within the enclosure? I dont want to cmmit the entire cantina to the meat as I also have my wine within but I have an area under a bench which will work....should i enclose it and put a fan inside.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks guys (btw i am in Toronto)
