    replace fridge thermostat with STC-1000

    Looks so easy! My problems were that I don't have a wireing diagram for my WRM1300WC (not on fridge or online) and that the thermostat has 3 wires going in - red, gray, brown. (and the y/g grounding wire). I have proceeded in the meantime by wireing it into the main power for the fridge which...

    Upgrading a STC-1000 with RTD

    I have STCs for the fermentation fridge and kegerator. I somewhat blindly ordered 4 more STCs this winter when I started fermenting outside the fridge in a duna with a heat belt and also with the view of adding controls to my brewing setup. The more I read the more my view changes (quiet easy...

    Upgrading a STC-1000 with RTD

    Thanks for the comparison. I guess STC and Sestos are similar quality? Nice package. Bugger they don't seem to support step mashing. Or is there another model? (I know the STC does not either...)

    Upgrading a STC-1000 with RTD

    I am considering option for temperature control an started looking at the standard Auber PID setup. That would set me back about $200 including all pieces and postage. Now practically the only disadvantage of using the much cheaper stc1000 that I can see is the lower accuracy compared to the...

    Bar fridge freezer removal

    It's hard to make out. The matting is just meant as surface protection mainly against uv. Glad the foam should be ok.

    Bar fridge freezer removal

    You mean the expanding foam? How bad do you think itcould be - a fewq KWmore a year or will I not be able to maintain temps during summer? What are the insulation properties of that compared to the PU(?) foam used originally? Cheers V

    Bar fridge freezer removal

    I found a WRM1300WC fridge on gumtree so I could skip he unbending but decided to extend the fridge to try and fit 3 or maybe even 4 kegs into a typical bar fridge. Work in progress, currently the thermostat is in the way of keg 4. Uploaded some photos...
