Some advice on a temp controller please?

[unfairbeef]

I have a large stand-up freezer I would like to make into a fermenting chamber and I found this temp controller on der ebay and am hoping it will do as it seems like a great deal. I am pretty handy so I don't think I'll have trouble getting it setup but I am worried that I am just getting excited and ahead of myself and missing something here. The controller in question. Thanks for any and all advice! Cheers!

The switched outputs on that PID are only rated for 3A. I suspect that's too small for most freezers - it's well below what my keezer nameplate lists for max current draw.

Have you looked into Love controllers, or the infamous ebay aquarium controller (aka STC-1000)?

Cheers!

Thanks for pointing that out, I would have wasted some dollars. As far as checking out the STC-1000, I have now! That looks to be a great deal, I believe I will be ordering one of those bad boys tomorrow. I will have to go out and look at the freezer tomorrow to make sure this one fits the bill. Thanks a ton!
