STC-1000 Probe Replacement

Post by floydmeddler » Sun Dec 13, 2015 12:41 pm

My STC unit is displaying 74c in the brewery. I'm pretty sure it's not that hot out there!!

I use the probe in the HLT, the mash tun and the boiler. Yesterday, I reckon it came into contact with a 3kw element which knackered it out.

Are there any durable replacement probes out there? Or, at best another crappy plastic replacement?

Cheers!

Yep any 10-K ntc will work. Get one with a SS probe and 2M of cable for best results.

Just to confirm... it works. :-)

Not sure if it's water proof though...
