Got the brew pot connected last week, today, a nice "stay at home" day, I put the control box together. Currently running unmodified firmware on the STC1000, but it's had a programming header soldered on, so I'll probably put the "plus" firmware on at a later date. (enable step mashing and get alarms for hops and all that sort of thing) Realised a bit late in the day that I didn't have suitable sockets to make the sensor probes detachable, will do that "later" Pretty happy with it in the end, though it was a bit tight getting both outlets mounted in the side wall, and "cheap tools are cheap" always sucks a bit...
STC1000 from brew.is, most of the rest from Johann Rönning. No PID, Don't really see the point when it's not a HERMS/RIMs setup. Driving a 2800 W element, so a bit out of spec for the STC1000, but should hopefully be ok, given that I'm not trying to drive it on and off all the time like a PID controller.
(Planning on RCA female sockets for the sensor probes here, but realized a bit late I didn't have them)
