The STC-1000's off evilbay work a treat.

Read the forum thread that was linked above, it's well worth the read. It will explain everything you need to know.

You'll need a housing of some sort (I used a clear Decor lunch box!) , wire , cutters/strippers , 2 female plugs (fridge & heater) and some electrical know-how... if you don't understand the basics and can't read the diagrams on the thread posted above then ask for help or pay a sparky!

Can even get PIDs now for < $30 ... Chinese knock offs ... but still !

so do ihook up the hot and cold or just cold?

Your choice. Just the cold if you only want to control a 'fridge. Hot and cold if you want to add heating, to gain complete control year round.

Brewing in Wagga youll probably need both but you could add in the heater a bit closer to winter if youre stretched ATM
