It is the perfect size and depth for buckets and carboys. I have 2 of them now. I am also constantly looking for conical fermenters that will fit in the fridges. So far most of them are too tall.

There was no noticeable increase in resistance. I have tested the accuracy of the probe in hot and cold water and it is still spot on.

I do get a decent layer of ice on the back wall of the fridge when I cold crash. The longest I have had the temp blow 50 is about 3 weeks. The STC1000 does not have any defrost ability. You will have to do that manually if you are going to keep low temps for extended periods of time. I wonder if...

I have 2 of these now. Both the older model as pictured in this thread, and the newer one wit ha 12v fan in the back. Both of them are able to hit the low 30s(F) using the stc1000. I regularly use them for cold crashing and keg storage. As for how well they hold that temp im not sure, but every...

That is an understatement. Luckily it is all surface rust and should be east to remove.

Well, found the fridge. Thanks for the ideas, I think im going to go aluminum fuel line.

I am working on building a vintage refrigerator/kegerator for my living room. I have been going back and forth about where to put the CO2 tank. Im not a fan of leaving it in the fridge, and the fridge is going to be on display in the house so sitting the tank to the side is out. The fridge will...

I am powering 7' of LED strip and a computer fan stir plate with mine. I have not had a problem yet. I have noticed that when the stir plate is running and I turn on the LEDs then the stir plate slows down a bit...

It is discussed in this thread. That is where I got the idea to use this heater. A few of the guys had been using them for months (thread is 3ish years old) and no problems were reported.

Here is how I did my fridge conversion. You should be able to do something similar with other fridges. To find out what wires you need to connect you could unplug the fridge, take apart the temp adjuster and then use a multimeter to check continuity between the temp adjuster and the wall plug...

I got mine from a buddy for 20, he had already fixed the relay, and there was a fan in the back.:ban:

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I just didn't give it enough time. I am just paranoid about leaving things like this running for the first time when I'm not home. For the first 3 days I had the stc-1000 installed I only ran the fermenter when I was home. Then I let it run for the weekend and...

Started my cold crash last night. In about 7 hours the fridge only went down about 10°c. I didn't want to leave it on today when I was at work so I moved the carboy over to the kegerator. I am going to see if the fridge can get down to around 1°c this weekend when I can keep an eye on the...

I used a spool of speaker wire I had laying around. it worked just fine.

2150 + 5 = 2160 Scottish Wee Heavy

I didnt have any luck. Ended up ordering this one and was able to flash it. If I was to do it all over again I would just order one from Black Box Brew. http://www.blackboxbrew.com/store/stc-1000-v10-flashable

Oh and I got my strip lights installed.

I just got a new STC1000 in and flashed it with the + firmware, I just haven't installed it yet. There is another outlet on the opposite side of the heater outlet, I was thinking about installing a 110v fan on that outlet so it circulates the air when the fridge is cooling. If I find one at...

Sorry about that, I should have read the whole thread. I am crossing my fingers on the 2 I ordered. if they don't pan out ill order one from blackboxbrew.

I put in some work last night and I am really happy with how it turned out. Sorry for the cellphone pics, didnt feel like dragging out the big camera. My goal with this was to tap into the 12v rail of the STC-1000 so I could power a stir plate and set of LED lights. First off, if you...
