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.

This measures three things that make it perfect for keeping a close eye on your kegerator,,,

  • CO2 levels – help spot CO2 leaks in your kegerator. See below
  • Temperature – monitor your kegerator temperature
  • Humidity – Help judge whether your Eva Dry (or similar) needs recharged for the purpose of handling excess kegerator and fermentation chamber wetness.  See: Damp Kegerator? Fix Kegerator Condensation

Using a layer of defense to detect against kegerator CO2 leaks…

Placing a CO2 Monitor with alarm inside of your kegerator can serve as another line of defense to protect against co2 leaks and loss. CO2 should not be building up in your kegerator. A CO2 monitor with alarm can alert you of this condition.

This is not a replacement for checking for CO2 leaks using traditional methods, rather a another layer that could save you a trip to swap out a CO2 tank.

The new Gov RegTM Inline Secondary Pressure Regulator will greatly minimize install time and wasted beer, ensuring an ideal pour every time! Since it requires the adjuster tool, you can set the desired pressure once and not worry about changing pressures or people messing with your set pressure. The Gov Reg is great for use in short draw & long draw beer delivery systems, kegs in series, wine on tap, and soda soft drink pressurized delivery systems.

Note: Product requires Adjuster Tool in order to set desired pressure

 

This allows you to set one pressure per line to assist with

serving beers at different carbonation levels.  Note that you do need a tool (linked on the product page) to set this.  You may also need an adapter to interface with homebrew style lines, also linked on the product page.  It’s kind of tough to tell from the photo how large this is.  For some size perspective, check out the photo on the right.  The Gov Reg is installed on the Sanke.  Check product page for current price and availability.

Gov Reg In line Secondary

What’s the difference between this and Kegland’s Inline Secondary?  The GovReg costs more than the Kegland Inline Secondary, although it’s still economical compared to multi-bodied regulators. The biggest difference is going to be that GovReg is a heavy duty commercial quality solution.

  • CO2 levels – help spot CO2 leaks in your kegerator. See below
  • Temperature – monitor your kegerator temperature
  • Humidity – Help judge whether your Eva Dry (or similar) needs recharged for the purpose of handling excess kegerator and fermentation chamber wetness.  See: Damp Kegerator? Fix Kegerator Condensation

Using a layer of defense to detect against kegerator CO2 leaks…

Placing a CO2 Monitor with alarm inside of your kegerator can serve as another line of defense to protect against co2 leaks and loss. CO2 should not be building up in your kegerator. A CO2 monitor with alarm can alert you of this condition.

This is not a replacement for checking for CO2 leaks using traditional methods, rather a another layer that could save you a trip to swap out a CO2 tank.
