Come and talk home brewing on my Justin.TV channel.

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

[CaptWsabi]

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

Great video mate. Helping people out 7 years later.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

Great Vid, I was wondering why my new STC1000 build wasn't working, you explained the blinking light and delay right off the start, which saved me time.

Still use this vid in 2024 when I forget the settings. Thanks bud.

[Bowman]

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

Came back to this post again, Gash.  Ty so much for this post.  I just tested everything, and it came out smoking. (In a good way).  Cheers Gash!

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.

Thank you, nowhere in the manual did it say press set and the up or down arrows together 👍👍👍👍👍 great video

[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

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

[TerryD]

I Forgot - Best wishes for the season of goodwill and cheer!!!

I’ve bought 4 of these units for $11 each from China and they work amazing.

Thanks Gash. I cruise around YouTube but always end up back on your page. Keep on brewing brother. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Thanks man. It's been so long since I used it I forgot how. You to the rescue. :-)
