HenrikF Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi all So i recently got finished setting up my brewfridge using the STC-1000. My question now is: Where do I place the temp probe? Right now its near the top pointing out into the fridge, but a thermometer near the bottom of the fridge reads 2,6 C while STC says 9 C.. (just a few sodas ind there at the moment) Was hoping to make an IPA today, s\xe5 please help[crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 againt the side of the FV.. I have mine in a piece of piece of packing foam and secured with a. elastic b. occy strap and c. gaffa tape essentiaaly you want the probe secured to the side of the FV to read the temperature of the wort... how you hold it there is up to your creativity... once apon a time I even use blutak [lol] ... not as good as he packing foam though as the blutak will transmit the ambient temps and you really want to insulate from that to save the fridge cycling on and off.. gotta go and pitch my rehydrated yeast [roll] well done on the step up in your brewery... you will fking love it.

Hairy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I insulate mine with a couple of pieces of neoprene; cut from a stubby holder. Then I just tape this to the FV with packing tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrikF Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 All good ideas[biggrin] But what in between brews? Maybe for cold conditioning or just plane storing? Is there not a way to place the probe, and just keep it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I very rarely use the frige for conditioning. But when I do, I put a couple of crates of beer in it and just hang the probe in the middle somewhere. I'm not that anal about the exact temp if I am just conditioning.
