You shouldn't need another one. I don't know your unit, but you should be able to use it for heating or cooling. Maybe not with yours?

Can't you just unplug the freezer and plug in the hair dryer, for instance, and set the temp to where you want it to turn on?

Yes, single stage controllers should be able to control a heater as well. Just plug in the heat source instead of the cooling source.

I don't think so.... Right now it turns on if a temp gets too warm, but I don't see a way to reverse that. I feel like hooking up a heater wil be an infinite feedback loop. It'll be too warm, so it'll turn on, and make it warmer. If its too cool, it'll turn off....

What controller do you have? Take a picture if you don't know the model?

Very interesting. I have the same controller on my keezer and had no idea it's for cooling only. Here's a blurb from amazon: "Strictly a mechanical thermostat for cooling only, it is simple to use and economical."

Here's the manual: http://www.beveragefactory.com/images/guides/A19aat-2c.pdf

Since you're only able to cool, just focus on that.

I might just turn up the heat in my house for the last couple days of active fermentation. If I get it up to the mid to low 70's that should be sufficient to get that fantastic phenolic/ester combination that makes Belgian beers so nice, right?

I have an stc-1000 and it works as a dual stage for me, why did you have to order 2nd?
