EDIT: The STC-1000 is rated for connections at 5A, a fridge is 15A, won't the STC-1000 connections fail after a while? Also, where should I put the probe? In my wort?
Hello again,
After a few advices about better controlling my fermentation temperatures, I started looking around for a fridge and a temperature controller.
I don't quite understand how temperature controllers work, could someone explain it better to me? As I understand it right now, it is just something that plugs between your fridge and the power outlet, and is pretty much a on/off of the fridge depending on the sensor readings of the controller.
Since the ambient temperature where the fridge is will always be higher than my target (22-24C ambient temp), I would only need a single stage controller? A cooling one or heating one? Like I said I don't understand how they work so I don't know which type I would need.
Considering a max budget of 100$, which model should I look into?
Thanks!
