I got an stc-1000

[Proffs]

Yuss! Got my stc-1000 today. Wired it up and got two fermenters at 18.5*! Just wanted to tell someone who would understand my excitement.

P.S. I don't know why my photos keep coming up sideways on here...

Nice, I can relate to your excitement. It's awesome when you know that you don't really have to worry so much about your fermentation

Rotate your monitor 90deg mate

Even in the UK I can share your excitement although I would guess mine is heating more than cooling at the moment though

 

[wbosher]

I can relate to that. I've had one for a short time (couple of months maybe), probably one of the best purchases yet for brewing. No more messing around with ice bottles before and after work in the summer, and now keeping the fermenter nice and warm on cold Autumn days/nights.

Good for carbing up bottles too, set at about 18 degrees, and leave.

The first pics looks ok to me, but I'm pissed and have fallen over

 

[Yob]

does that make it an early one or a late one Kev?

 

[Edgebrew]

Yeah I think your sideways photos are related to your OG. happens to me all the time.

Yep, totally understand your excitement mate. My new controller (only built it a week ago) is currently taking care of an American IPA.

Ooh, that's nice mate! Well done on making such a schmick unit. I just boxed mine in a jiffy box from jaycar and cut up a couple of extension cords. :unsure:

That makes two of us!

 

[wbosher]

I bought mine ready made...I'm a lazy bugger.

 

[angus_grant]

That makes two of us!

That makes three of us. I lost one of my Fridge Mates for 4 or so months during summer to control the air-con in my 1 year old's room so it can stay there and I'll get an STC for the ferment fridge - auto heating and cooling.

The FridgeMate only has manual switching between heating and cooling so it will be good for his room.

Cheers mate. Can't take any credit for the design though! I got all my inspiration from here. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/45747-stc-1000-temp-controller/page-19#entry824333

I too have joined the list of excited people after finally being able to switch on my new temp controller over the weekend.
Just got a question just regarding the temp sensor.
With my sensor I just taped it to the side of my fermenter and insulated it with an old stubby holder. Has anyone else used this method?
Also I have noticed a difference between the sensor ready on the unit and the stuck on temp strip. Roughly about 2 degrees difference.
Should I try and calibrate the sensor?
