I built my third fermentation chamber controller box. I have two with the STC-1000 controllers but they display only Celsius. So I got smart and ordered an Inkbird ITC-1000F controller from Amazon.com. The price was about the same and this one can display Fahrenheit or Celsius. Now I don’t have to do the mental math each time I use it.
These boxes are really simple to build. The box is a 6″ electrical box from Lowe’s. I used a standard wall outlet and a 10 foot 12/3 cord from Lowe’s as well. I added the blue and red dots to indicate the cold and hot sides. I used a plastic cable gland to secure the electrical cord at the box but you could just tie a knot on the inside to keep from pulling it and damaging the wiring. That is how I secured the temperature sensor wire.
