Is this just a Fahrenheit version of the STC-1000?

[WayFrae]

I was looking on Amazon at an STC-1000 and came across this controller and it is less money and displays in Fahrenheit! Is the STC-1000 also 10A? Can you guys see why this would not be as good as the STC-1000? Amazon has the STC-1000 for $17.70 so if it is better I will just get that. The Fahrenheit display is just appealing.

It's not an STC-1000. This is a single-stage (heating OR cooling) controller. If that's all you need, it's great.

^ Exactly correct. The MH1210F comes in the exact same form-factor as the STC-1000 and reads in Fahrenheit, but it is only single-stage. I've had one running my keezer since December and it works perfectly for that, but if you are looking for a fermentation chamber controller this really isn't the best solution...

Cheers!

Ok. The description says it is used for heating and cooling so I was under the impression it was the same as the STC-1000.

I can do both - but only one at a time. The STC-1000 has separate heating and cooling circuits.

It looks like an STC-1000 it is! Thanks for the info!

I have one of those too, and it works well. If you are using one for fermenting I would look at this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/stc-1000-a-464348/

Makes for a bad @ss fermentation controller with all the fixins!
