Controller - automatic metered temp changes for controlled cooldown over extended period?

[user 246304]

I'd love to do a slow cooldown on a steady basis over 60ish hours (e.g., 2F every 8 hours, total of 60-66 hours, as opposed to the pause overnight). Anyone know if there's an Inkbird or another common controller that has that function?

Cool, thanks man. As an aside....I know the guy who co-created Django. He's also a helluva gypsy swing player, studied with him a bit. You know, the style of 30's Paris acoustic jazz created by.....Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.

Yup, this one does it. https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/tempcontrolrapt.htm

Thanks Bobby! Ideally, I'd move from 72-50, say, over 3 /2 days, 1 F every 4 hours. Can you do that with the unit? Probably similar with cooldown to lager temps.

Any controller with the soak and ramp function can do it. I have mine programmed with multiple profiles.

Looking at the user documentation it appears that via the RAPT Portal one can create quite complex fermentation profiles to store on the controller itself for future use. Should be at least as capable as my BrewPi "classic" systems...

Cheers!

Check out the STC-1000+ or https://github.com/matsstaff/stc1000p. It holds 6 profiles with up to 10 setpoints each and it can do ramping between setpoints.

You can tell it the target temp and how many days you want it to take to get there.
