This model is nice because it’s USB powered. USB power blocks are easy to be had. That means no manual wiring and no guessing voltage. And, generally speaking, it’s not as expensive as some of the pre-wired options out there. This also has a speed control. That could potentially be useful for stir plate projects although I have no idea if it would offer the granularity needed for that sort of project.

Hands On Review: Insulating Neoprene Kegerator Tower Wrap – Fight the First Foamy Pint!

The idea behind a Neoprene insulating tower wrap is to help insulate the tower to help keep beer in your lines cold.  Warming of beer in the lines is a leading cause of first foamy pints.  The beer warms up and CO2 comes out of solution more easily.  When you vend this warm beer it has a tendency to foam.  Keeping lines as cold as possible reduces or eliminates this effect.  The additional insulation could also help you save some electricity.

Here’s a hands on look at Redwood City Brew Supply‘s (via Amazon) Neoprene wrap.  Multiple sizes and configurations are available.  I have a two tap KOMOS Kegerator – Hands on Review – so I went with the two tap 3″ version.

Step by Step Temperature Build Using the STC/ITC-1000

stc 1000 temperature controller instructions

The STC-1000 is versatile digital temperature controller. It’s manufactured by a number of manufacturers

Specifications can very but you can generally speaking these are dual stage temperature controllers that you can use to help control temperature of your kegerator, fermentation chamber or as part of your brew system. Dual Stage means this can control a heating and cooling device.  Alternatively, it can control a heating or a cooling device.   Note that these are unwired controllers and will require some work to implement in your project.

STC-1000 vs ITC-1000

The STC-1000 is a great controller, arguably the best value in temperature controllers, especially if you’re on the handy side.  The ITC-1000 from Inkbird is what I would call and upgrade to the STC-1000.  The big upgrade is that the ITC-1000 display ins deg F and deg C, where most versions of the STC-1000 were deg C display only.  Beyond there, it’s my understanding that there are some usability improvements in the ITC-1000.


If you’re looking for a pre-wired temp controller, consider – ITC-308 – Review


Some things to consider when buying an STC/ITC 1000 controller

  • Input voltage. These can be powered by DC and AC 120 to 240
  • Readout capabilities. Many STC-1000 controllers read in Celsius only. Some have the ability to read in Celsius or Fahrenheit.


The American Homebrewers Association has a great write up on a step by step build out of an STC-1000/ITC-1000 Temperature Controller Build.  It includes a parts list, pictures and diagrams along with a step by step how to for getting this going.

How to Build a Temperature Controller for the AHA

by Duncan Bryant

This dual-stage temperature controller is perfect for managing temperatures of your kegerator, fermentation chamber or keezer. It allows for a hot and a cool trigger to be individually controlled, so you could have your fermentation refrigerator hooked up to the cold trigger and a heat source to the hot trigger. If the temperature falls below the target value, the heating device will be turned on, and vice versa.

Note: this project deals with electrical current and DIY’ers should pursue the build at their own discretion. Read through the directions entirely to have a full understanding of the build before diving in. If you are unsure of your abilities, consult with someone well versed in electrical wiring.


Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application.  Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application.  Always read and follow manufacturer directions.
