Here's a silly question. Does it matter if I rack onto the spice tea or add the spice tea to the already racked beer? I'm guessing it doesn't, but figured I would ask.
STC-1000 does in fact have short cycle protection. The only knock against it is that it only reads in Celsius. I use one for my ferm chamber. As long as you don't mind doing conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius its a nice cheap temp controller.
Has anyone used the STC-1000 temp controller with this particular GE chest freezer (FCM7SUWW)? Looks like this freezer requires a 15 amp rating while the STC-1000 is only rated to 10 amps.
