Oh woops. My bad. I didn't see that it wasn't you that had the STC in F instead of C. That fermostat looks awesome!

Phil, this is where gwcr got his Fahrenheit STC. I lucked up and scored one of The Black Boxes, love this thing. Being able to set programs to run is just great. I think I'm going to order one of his flashed units to replace one of my Celsius builds that I've done.

Or you could printout a one page list of temps and tape it to the frig....

The STC-1000 (certain models) can be flashed to upgrade the embedded software. One of the guys on HBT has a thread on it. Calling it the STC-1000+. Another is using those flashed units to make "The Black Box" for those who don't want to DIY at http://www.blackboxbrew.com/. He is currently sold out of the full solution, but also sells the flashed units by themselves. I picked one of those up and DIY'd the box. Pretty cool little unit, as you can program fermentation schedules into it by using the front buttons. So far I am just using a set temp, but will be fun to program a lager schedule into it, then start it and let it do its thing.
