I've just bought 2 of these updated STC-1000 controllers and today set about fitting one to a fridge. The wiring looks dead simple, but I'm getting no output power. Even when the controller indicator light tells me the cooling or the heating is on, there is no power at those terminals...
I was 16 in 73 and bought myself a moped (Yamaha FS1-E). It had only about a half gallon tank, but I remember being aware that £1 would get you 3 gallons.
That's great, thanks very much for posting all that info and for sending me the link. I'll read through all that later, but this looks like exactly what I want, far better than I expected. athumb..
After a couple oy years of using King kegs I've decided to go the cornie route, but what's stumping me is finding an under the counter fridge that will accommodate 2 x 19l kegs side by side. My 2 fridges in which my King kegs live (and most I measured in Curry's) don't have 23cm of depth between...

I have a tap on the FV, just draw off enough to use a hydrometer.
I'm the first to admit I'm a numpty, there was a lot more grain than the recipe called for. I decided to bump it up by 500gr but ended up going 1kg over 'cos my memory isn't what it used to be!
3.5kg MO, 1kg golden promise, 500gr brewing sugar, 80gr roasted malt, 20 litres, 67 degrees for an hour, 10 litres sparge. Boiled for 70 minutes and took gravity once cooled to 21 degrees.
4 days ago I brewed an AG bitter recipe which had an OG of 1058 and a volume of 21 litres. Pitched in rehydrated Llaland London and kept it in my temperature controlled cupboard at 21 degrees. It had a really vigorous ferment which overflowed through the airlock and lasted a little over a day...
