Temperature Controller

[finsfan]

I am looking for either the Northern Brewer digital controller or a Johnson controller to use on my spare fridge. It needs to be fairly new and in working condition. I do want to wire anything, but instead be able to plug it in and be working. Please let me know if you have something to part with. I could make a payment through paypal or we could even do a trade and I could send you beer in return. thanks in advance!

I know this isn't the brand you're looking for, but it is a great price for a fully-wired 2 stage temp controller: http://www.risendeadbrewing.com/product-p/temcon.htm

So the pictures that they show arent customers who have wired them but the actual product that would be shipped if I choose to do the assembled option? If so I may have to jump on this ASAP. Thanks for the link

For $40 this controls heating and cooling all wired and ready to go.

Did you end up ordering one of the temperature controllers from risendead?

I did. I ordered one for my ferm chamber. I guess I overlooked the fine print at the bottom of the page. It is not a dual stage controller. I guess I thought it was the same as the popular STC 1000 everyone here uses. It's not. It will control heating OR cooling, but not at the same time.

yeah I did and im not very happy about that. I will use for the time being since my basement is about 57 degrees so hopefully just using the heater inside will do the trick. I think im going to order the stc1000 sometime soon tho and just switch out controllers but use the same box. Hopefully it is not too difficult

Bingo, that's the catch. It's a cheaper DIY single stage, but for a dual stage you will have to pay $$$ Auber has a dual stage non-DIY for http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=334

I am not sure if the band probe is replaceable, I would check that before ordering.

but it is 240 or 120 compatable nothing to switch

Damn I wish I would have seen that first, looks like a great option

I don't know how I could have overlooked that controller not being dual stage. I'm not real happy about my purchase either, but I guess it's my fault. This will work for now but I too will probably swap out an STC 1000 sometime.

well it is in degrees F

My neighbor made the same mistake. I ordered the right one off amazon for 21 bucks and spent 22 bucks on parts to make a nice dual stage controller.
I have an extra Digital Ranco single stage controller all wired up if anybody wanted it for 40.00
