15% Off UNI-STAT Temperature Controllers – multiple models available

UNI-STAT III

UNI-STAT III via Brewer Dude.  BEST RANKED CONTROLLER AS SCORED BY CRAFT BEER & BREWING Apr/May ’17,

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

UNI-STAT III Temperature Controller Unit (general use sensor included)

Whether controlling a refrigerator, or running a small pump with a cooling coil, for fermentation temperature control; or, for heating with a 120V element or heating pad, you won’t find a more effective or easier-to-use digital controller than this one.  A unique ‘Duty Cycle’ feature provides for optimally smooth temperature control of either cooling or heating modes.  All the basic needs, plus simplicity, in this rugged controller – made in the USA, with a 3-Year factory Warranty!

Some popular applications include: beer-brewing fermentation, RIMS or BIAB regulation, wine-making fermentation control, wine or beer storage, food storage, chocolate storage, laboratory storage or incubation, space heating, freeze protection of plants or exterior water pipes, and many others you may have need for!

UNI-STAT III Details and Application:

  1. This controller in the UNI-STAT series adds to the flexibility and features provided by the UNI-STAT IIa; such as wall mounting, choice of °F or °C, adjustable differential and more.
  2. Wall-mounted installation provides excellent user visibility selection.
  3. Convenient switch-selectable COOL or HEAT operating mode. No programming required.
  4. Unique switch-selectable 50% duty cycle for excellent temperature stability, without unwanted “overshoot” cooling or heating operation. The 50% cycle is 10 minutes ON, then 10 minutes OFF in COOL mode (5 minutes ON, then 5 minutes OFF  in HEAT mode), then repeat, until the desired temperature is achieved and your unit shuts off.  This feature will automatically switch to 100% duty cycle if the 50% choice is not providing sufficient temperature set-point achievement.
  5. Flashing Alarm feature “AL-“ alerts user if sensor temperature is more than 5°F above (COOL mode) or below (HEAT mode) set-point.
  6. Flashing alarm feature “Er-“ will indicate a sensor fault, such as ‘open’ or ‘shorted’, and will automatically shut off system until repair is effected. This is easily accomplished with simple plug-in sensor replacement, or possibly on-site repair of the sensor cable.
  7. Sensor cable length of 8’ enables flexible system set-up for operation monitoring and control.
  8. Unit comes with a replaceable general-purpose sensor, which can also be installed in a standard 1/4″ thermowell.
  9. A bottle-probe style sensor is optional, and extends utility of the control to storage use, such as for wine or beer, in a spare fridge, with 1°F temperature stability (see below).
  10. Microprocessor accuracy provides +/- 1°F control throughout full range of 35 – 220°F (1 – 104°C)
  11. Simple set-point check or adjustment with one finger toggle, after which all system settings will be briefly displayed for confirmation to the user.
  12. Automatic compressor protection is provided in the COOL mode, to prevent possible short-cycling damage.
  13. Operating differential (bandwidth) may be adjusted up to +/- 3°F (up to 6° bandwidth). Factory setting is +/- 1°F.
  14. Load capacity at 120 VAC is up to 13 Amps (1500W for heating).
  15. Designed and manufactured in the USA, and includes a 3-Year Factory Warranty.

Announcing: The Icemaster Glycol Chiller via MoreBeer + Hands on Review!

Icemaster Glycol Chiller

From MoreBeer: “We are very excited to offer the Ice Master G40 Glycol Chiller, it is great unit at an amazing price! The Icemaster is designed to cool fermentations in small vessels. It can be used with any vessel that has a glycol jacket or even a submersed Cooling Snake! For each vessel you want to cool you will need to buy one of our Glycol Pump Kits.”

From the product description: “The Icemaster is designed to cool fermentations in small vessels. It can be used with any vessel that has a glycol jacket or submersed cooling coil/rod. For each vessel you want to cool you will need to buy one of our Glycol Pump Kits. Each tank is able to be separately temperature controlled. Each Glycol Pump Kit includes a submersible pump that is placed in the cool bath of this chiller along with a digital controller. The digital controller includes a thermal probe that should be inserted into a thermal well in your vessel or can be taped to the outside of the vessel if you don’t have a thermal well. The digital controller then measures the temperature of your tank and turns the submersible pump on or off to cool to your desired set temperature. Up to four tanks can be controlled separately with one Icemaster and four Glycol Pump Kits.”

Compatability
The Icemaster can be used with any fermenter that has a built in cooling jacket or a submersed cooling coil. It works well as the cooling source for the following sytems and fermenters.

  • Ss Brewtech Fermenters and Brites with optional FTS Temperature Control Systems: Because FTS systems include a pump and controller you will not need to buy a separate Glycol Pump Kit.
  • Spike Conical with Optional Cooling Package – Because the optional Spike cooling system includes a pump and controller you will not need to buy a separate Glycol Pump Kit.
  • Speidel Tanks with Optional Cooling Jackets – You will need one Glycol Pump Kit for each tank.
  • Grainfather Fermenters – Grainfather fermenters have standard cooling jackets. You will need one Glycol Pump Kit for eash fermenter
  • Blichmann Fermenators with Optional Cooling Coil – You will need one Glycol Pump Kit for each Fermenator.

Keep Reading – As of this posting, this is selling for $699.99.  Check out the product page for complete details, availability and pricing.

FermWrap Heater

Eagle Brewing FE650 FermWrap Heater

Eagle Brewing FE650 FermWrap Heater

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability

  • Used to gently heat fermentations
  • Use tape to adhere this flexible heating wrap directly to your fermenter
  • Draws 40 Watts

“The FermWrap heater is used to gently heat fermentations. Use tape to adhere this flexible heating wrap directly to your fermenter. Depending on your configuration and insulation, you can increase the temperature of your ferment from 5-20 degrees Fahrenheit. If using carboy or bucket you can attach directly using tape (as seen in photo above.) We recommend electrical tape as it sticks and unsticks the easiest. Heating can be controlled by sticking either the entire wrap or a portion of the wrap to the fermenter. In an unenclosed environment we see a heating differential between carboy and ambient of 10-15 degrees. This differential can be increased by using our carboy bag to insulate a carboy (this has been tested.) To decrease the temperature differential, stick only a portion of the heating wrap to the fermenter. For great results, we recommend a temp controller and carboy thermal well for the ultimate in fermentation temperature control. Or for the best control, use the dual stage control and carboy thermal well, as well as a refrigerator, to control both the high and low temps. You can tape the heater to the wall of the refrigerator as well. With 40 watts of heat spread over two square feet it provides gentle even heating. Draws 40 watts. 115 V.”


 

Use in conjunction with a temperature controller to dial in fermentation temps.
