Fermentation Chamber w/ Refrigeration

Reviving an old thread here....but this is a nice build! Most likely going to attempt something like this myself. Does anyone know if I can use the STC-1000 to do something like this?

If the fridge that is to be used has a mechanical thermostat you could connect the STC-1000 relay (no power just to complete the circuit) there to tell the system to start cooling leaving the main power to the fridge plugged in.

iamjonsharp, that's also a nice looking setup. This may be a silly question, but does the compressor need to stay upright or could it be mounted on it's side or upside down?

I discover the topic very late. A compressor is similar to the engine of a bike with oil in the carter, hence the need to keep it in upright position!
