How many years later and you just helped me setup my STC 1000 😂 thank you

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Glad I could help! hahaha Cheeers!

[@CaptWsabi]

Great Video - easier to understand than the bloody instructions that come with the STC....

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate!

[@chrismanmillfarmsllc.5533]

Good Day Mate! This is Tony from Kentucky USA, home of the fastest horses and best Bourbon on Earth. I wanted to thank you for the outstanding video explaining programming the STC 1000! Just got mine today and, because of your help my setup was done within a minute; I didn't even need to read the damn instructions :) So far the STC 1000 is doing great. I am using mine powering a window AC for a walk in cooler. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to make a really informative video!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thank you for watching, I'm happy that you got some use out of it! Cheers mate!

[@jimsteele6010]

LIFE-SAVER VIDEO! I've got a boil about to start and a brand-new STC-1000. So, I looked at the instructions translated from Chinese. No way could I figure it out. Desperate, I found this video. Perfect! Saved my lager day! Thank you.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Glad it helped! Cheers mate!

[@78wikk]

Thanks mate, very helpful as usual. You'll be happy to know your channel is my go to source for anything homebrew. Keep up the good work 👍

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching mate, cheers!

[@martinjones3075]

Thanks for that. I wanted to set up the STC 1000 to control the fridge for fermentation. I tried to work it out intuitively to no avail. Your video answered ALL the questions. Now I am just testing the fridge before I make up my next brew (IPA) - something that has been in the too hard basket during summer.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Good to hear mate, cheers! Thanks for watching!

[@tubedinoz]

Thanks Gash. I just built my STC up today and used this video to program it. I saw you were at 999 subs recently, but in last day or so you have blown past to 1015! Awesome stuff, congratulations, well deserved. Cheers mate

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Glad I could help! Wow I didn't even notice all the subs! I don't seem to get very many new subscriber emails! I get the odd one but must not get every one! Cheers mate!

[@reefonbux9432]

Now look

[@isaacidheileh7575]

I wired my ink bird properly and it is not turning off my Thermo cooler heating indicator light comes on, and it still keeps getting colder. Why is that?

[@TerryD15]

Thanks for the vid. it's refreshing to see a vid without long waits, unnecessary long descriptions and poor commentary. Great concise and accurate descriptions plus it has saved me searching for a long lost manual!!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks mate! Cheers!

[@Bowman120]

Thanks, thats really helpful - googled the official instructions - this actually tells me how the unit works!

[@pantonhillier5609]

Great stuff mate! Panicked a bit when my STC seemingly worked as it should, but the fridge did not start (was the startup delay). By the time I had gotten to that part of the video it had started 😂 Very informative though.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Happy able to help! Cheers mate!

[@Multijuicee]

I really like the idea with the temerature probe, that the probe can be connected to that plug!! I would like to add that to my build.
Could you please tell me what parts you have used for that so I can get some myself? Thanks for your video

[@keekmeister]

Cheers mate, really helpful vid

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching mate, cheers!

[@tholitscabusao1111]

sir can you show how to set to use in incubator to maintain the temperature of 37.5 oC. i want when the temperature becomes 38 oC the light will off then when it go down to 36.5 oC or 37 oC the light on.thank you very much

[@renniweht]

Thanks for going through this, I have the inkbird version which is pretty much identical and the instructions were very poor.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Glad it helped, cheers!

[@torahymen9653]

Hey Gash Slug i forgot to ask, a 220V STV-1000 controller is the Ducks Guts for Aussie ay? I hope so 'cos i just ordered one! Cheers n Beers

[@johnsteward9220]

Very helpful! Thanks

[@jonajones530]

Good informative video that mate.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks mate, cheers!

[@abbe6305]

if i want to set 55 celsius to shutdown when is hits the tempratur how do i set this? I dont need it to start like 40 celcius, i only need it to break when it reach 55 celcius.

[@Selftrephinate]

Cheers my dog chewed up 1 of the stc's I bought and both the instructions

[@anthonybanovic3658]

I use one on the fermenter fridge and another on the HLT, the probe goes through a 1/2" BSP end cap (silicone watertight) and into the tub. With a pump, I can recirculate the mash and keep the element heating to the desired temperature. Keep forgetting how to reset it and refer back here occasionally.

[@borisfrecka]

Spot on tutorial. Thanks heaps

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate! No worries!

[@DrRChandra]

The delay is for what's called "compressor stall." If the compressor tries to start up at the full differential of low to high pressure, it takes a LOT of electricity to get the motor to move, so much soo that it may burn itself out. The delay is for the refrigerant to go from the high to low pressure side through the loop's restriction.

[@akira5982]

Depending on compressor type

[@rays128]

Perfect, just the video i meeded, thanks😊

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Glad it helped!

[@markcobbold58]

Thanks for the info

[@dcgrace]

Thanks for the very helpful video. I was totally stuck trying to work out the printed instructions. I’m going to use my STC-1000 temperature controller for my homebrew fermentation. Most of my brews require a fermentation temperature of 18C. So I thought of making the temperature set value 18.5 and the difference set value 0.5. However, I am not too happy with the controller clicking on and off too frequently. Will there be possible harm to the controller if I go with the above setting?

[@BOREDANDWELLBORED]

So how do this work? I'm trying to make a portable air conditioner but the compressor overheats if it runs non stop, so if I set this at let's say 20 degrees, will the AC compressor shut off once it reaches 20 degrees then turns back on again if it goes up above 20 degrees? Is this how it works? If so, I'm buying one.

[@MrCcfly]

i got problem with stc1000 it wont turn of pin 8 when cooling is over ,till he reach f1 temp +f2 0.5..help

[@DamCasey]

Awsome video!
Thanks

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate, thanks for watching!

[@riemervanmiddelem4117]

Thanks, very helpfull...

[@jhonydelacruz9189]

Ho to increase the setting value on cool temperature higher than 10 centigrade?

[@mohamedzien7729]

Thank you very much, i have a question please. In incubator we use lamp for heating process in my country the temperature is too much and i want to decrease it ( is it right to decrease it by fan? and if right i should install the fan making the air inside the incubator goes out or make the air outside go inside) i want to cool it without losing the humedity can u help me please

[@TheOpelkoenjas]

Good question. When incubating using a fan to cool things off, as I do myself (silkworm breeding and in the past snake eggs), I would opt for blowing the air from the inside out. That way you won't be blowing cold air directly onto your eggs. Don't worry, it's not like you'll be sucking out all the air (LOL seriously, someone asked me that question not so long ago). While the fan blows out hot air it simultaneously introduces fresh oxygen. :) Concerning the humidity: this can only be regulated with the temperatures. The higher the temperatures, the more humid it will be. The better ventilation you have, the less humid it will be. It's all connected to each other, one influences the other, and when building your own incubators it's sometimes a pain in the ass to find that sweet spot you need. It's a matter of testing, testing and more testing until you got it set to your wishes (or rather to your animal's wishes).
Cheers.
