I got my a419 Johnson control friday and just noticed there isn't any plugs coming in or out of it. I guess I need to wire up something? there are diagrams in the little manual but I want to make sure I know what I am doing. I am no electrician! I am not really sure what I should get or how to hook it up. Any help would be great.

Does your controller have jumpers?

No idea, what is a jumper? I am very eliterate when it comes to electricity.
it is the a419? I bought that one because I saw that many people did.

No, embarisingly enough. I don't have a proper tool to strip wires so I am out to the HD to get one so I don't keep messing it up. I was trying to fallow the site up above but I am still a big confused.
Superbowl is coming. This better be up and running by then (I will have to buy a keg - damn)

Proper tool to strip wires? Pocket knife, teeth, dykes, X-acto knife.... I bought one of those wire stripper tools once. I never got the hang of it. I do much better with a pair of side cutters. I do think that if I ever get dentures, I'll have to get a wire stripper option with them.

Now I have the freazer/ temp cntrler /draft system AND NO BEER IN IT!!! I am brewing tomorrow so I will have some coming soon but I won't have any of my own in the freezer for about 6 weeks. I think I am going to have to go out and buy a keg so I can have SOMETHING in there!!!
Next step - build the bar.
