I recently bought a Unibrau system. Looking to sell my gravity fed brew stand, with 10" Banjo Burners and a high-pressure regulator and my BK, MLT, and HTL. The kettles were converted from Kegs and have Blichmann thermometer, 3-piece SS ball valve w/dip tube, site glass and a thermowell. The MLT...

More free stuff, sure!

Definitely in!

In!!!

Actually the large box did not help that much, the limiting space was the gang box. I bought a 3 gang box and it got tough jamming all the wire in there. If I were to do it over again I would keep the same setup, I like having the 2 controls confined in one box. I can control my fermentation...

I put together a couple of drawings for my little STC project. Basically using other drawings I found around online, including the one posted above. If you go to post number 10 on the first page, that was the final drawings...

Definitely In.... Wow what a big giveaway. Thanks to all the vendors!! John

You know what, now that you mention that I think my mini fridge does have a 90 degree plug. It would be simple to switch them. I will check that out tonight and see what kind of plug my appliances have. John

Here is the updated parts photo (showing the THHN wire and the plastic flex conduit) as well as a parts list (which keeps me organized when i go to buy everything I need). Hope this can help some of you if you are thinking of tackling a project similar to this. One thing to note is that temp...

So here it is all finished up. I tested it out with some lamps and it worked perfect. I got them both programmed as well: The STC on the left controls the outlet on the left. The top outlet is cool and the bottom is heat. I will be plugging in a small 5 cubic foot chest freezer into the...

So this worked. Thanks for all the help guys. I will post some pics later tonight!! John

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. You read that correctly! So I could use just a small piece of wire and run it from one neutral post to the other, leaving what I currently have in place as well?

Thanks reynolds for the heads up on the wiring. I took all that junk back and just got 14ga THHN by the foot. Actually saved me about 15 bucks so I was happy about that. Well... I got it all wired up and... not working. The always on outlet works but the two STCs are not coming on. One...

Also, I decided to just run 14ga throughout the entire box (drawing does not show this, so I should update it). This shouldn't be an issue should it? I just did not want the extra expense of buying 14 and 16ga. John

Thanks Reynolds for all the help. I think I got it now. Here is the updated drawing: Sorry to be short but I am out of town on business the rest of this week so this project is on hold until this weekend. But once finished I will post some pics. In the mean time here is what I was able...
