So i need to buy an STC1000 for fermenting. Time to order one online at that famous ebay site again :))

Can someone tell me if this one is good enough? I know i need to get a box and cables for it, or old plugs which i have plenty of. Is this STC1000 good?

wiring it up will be easy. just want to make sure i get a good one :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Im going to make a PID also soon for mashing but if i want to use the STC in the meantime is there an SSR i would need to attach so it can handle 2kW element? I also have a power controller to lower power for better temperature control.

Cheers

The STC will be for fermenters.

Yep. :D

I've been using one for years, controlling a freezer and heat pad. Awesome for fermenting. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
