I swapped out the STC200 for a modded 1000.
I think I've swapped the wires around correctly into the 1000+ connections

STC200 connection to  STC1000+ connection
1 -> 5
2 -> 6
4 -> 3
5 -> 4
6 -> 1
7 -> 2

I plugged the controller into the wall and played around with the menu but haven't hooked up the pumps and elements yet for a proper run

Nice job, so the stc will give you 0.1 accuracy and allow profile ramping then 8)

i might be upgrading from Keggle / BIAB and was thinking of the GF, is it worth the investment? any drawbacks?

fishjam45 (Colin)

No drawbacks as far as I'm concerned.
I've done 4 brews now and I'm very happy with it

Definitely worth the investment. Only thing is your keggle would probably have a 50L capacity wouldn't it?

jawalemon

Yeah, but i only ever brew 25ltr batches. What size batches are you getting out of the GF?

fishjam45 (Colin)

I've just done 23ltr batches but 25 would be well achievable

Where are you based?
You are more than welcome to see it in action before you buy if you want?

Thanks. I will take you up on the offer. I'm based  dublin South City . Where do you brew?

fishjam45 (Colin)

I brew at home in bray.
I've just put a brew into my Ferm Chamber so it will be 2 weeks before I brew again, I'm thinking the weekend of Sat 4th / Sun 5th July.
I brew pretty early in the morning - if that suits you then you are more than welcome to call over.
