Inkbird ITC-310T $27.5 gets you wired, 2 stage temp controller with timer

[Jwin]

I totally forgot there were discount codes for this. Glad I didn't actually miss out! Got my controller a few days ago (from Amazon). Works MUCH better at maintaining the temp in my kegerator than the stock controller, needless to say.

How do people usually attach these to kegerators? It works well, but the logistics seem a little awkward. I'd hang it on the wall behind it, but then I can't pull out the kegerator for maintenance, CO swaps etc. since the cords aren't very long.

You could use one of those 3M stick on hook things. Or velcro

Mine arrived yesterday, but i was a bit lazy about checking mail, so i got it today, super excited to use this gem! I won't actually get a chance until after we move, but i'll be setting it up on my new ferm chamber once i build it.

 

[Pantherjon]

Got mine today! Neat little device...Quick scan of the instructions leaves me scratching my head...Seems like a LOT of poorly translated Chinese..Maybe it was translated to Chinese, then back to English to print? I am too tired right now to try and interpret..

Completely forgot I asked for a code Just got mine ordered a couple minutes ago... For 27.49 and free shipping i couldn't turn it down.

I got mine two days ago. I'm planning a brew day for next week to take advantage of both heating and cooling functions, but I couldn't wait to start using the controller so I started a small Sous Vide experiment! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1452176281.976992.jpg

Amazing!

 

[Roland_deschain]

Anyone care to enlighten a guy, how do I get this thing into cooling mode? Th directions aren't too clear to me and I'm no slouch with tech....

 

[RobbieSkull]

I will check it out in the morning.

Amazing!

Looks awesome. I would love to do this. Unfortunately my ninja won't work while cycling the power off and on. And my heat stick is to much for this thing. I bet I could "engineer" something

I wish I had seen this thread earlier as I've been eyeing the ITC-308 model for a little while. However, I would certainly pull the trigger on the 310T model with the discount.

Question: What is the Day/Night feature or capability? This is listed as one of the differences between the 308 and 310.

Just rec'd mine, it is all set on a Rauchbier.

 

[brewcat]

I received mine last week and put it aside to warm up. I might have to play around with it tonight.

 

[Savagejair]

Inkbird- I was part of the first 40 and never received the code.. made a few comments along the way as the next 50 were being served.

Did you finish honoring the first 50 and just pick an choose? Don't care one way or the other but need to decide on what I'm doing with my 2nd chamber kinda been waiting for my code but also kinda gave up.

Thank you very much for promptly correcting this oversight and allowing me the opportunity to try this unit at a great price.

Thanks for your questions. The biggest difference is ITC-310T is with timer function. It is designed according to different temperature in different time when the brewers make the beer. Day/Night feature means that you can set day temperature and night temperature. It will be auto turned on/off according to the time you set in 24 hours.

Meanwhile, you can also set 6 times temperature values in 6 period time.

Con: both of them have the same features for the temperature controlling.

Got mine yesterday .... Thanks inkbird! Don't suppose you're going to be offering 1/2 off freezers with free shipping soon? Just a suggestion...

Has anyone had trouble setting the correct time on this unit? Every time I try to change a time setting (day, hour or min) by pressing the up or down key the unit cancels out of the setting mode and displays the pv and sv temperatures.

After setting the time, press SET to cycle through the time, day, etc. Then hold SET again to save the info.
Hope it helps

If there is still a discount, let me know how.

I think you can still get a 30% discount - just email the OP. I decided to get the 308 model instead, which with a 30% discount on the 310, both models cost about the same amount on Amazon (38 bucks). I don't see the added features of the 310 doing anything for me and I got a little concerned with some of the reviews I read about it compared to the 308 which are solid.

I appreciate your reply. Can someone help me understand why one would want to set a different temperature during the day versus the night? It seems to me that for brewing (and I admit that I'm a newbie) one would just want to set it and forget without any concern with whether it is in the day or at night.

Day and night feature is specially designed for home heating system, hatching, pet, plant and other special function. Homebrewing may be needed for several periods of time. So we design 6 choices settings for time.

 

[ChuckCollins]

Yeah I'll take one

Thanks for the reply, but the unit will not let me set the time, if I try to change the day by using the up or down button it jumps out of the set mode.

I can set all the other parameters and save them, but not the time. I'm not convinced you actually need to have the correct time on the unit for it to function.

 

[Murphys_Law]

Just received mine this week but haven't had the chance to plug it in! I am going to make a lager in a few weeks and will put this to use then!

Thanks for the promo!

Could you give us more details about how you set it? If possible, could you explain each step you set?
