I use both for home brewing, either holding a fermentation fridge at the right temperature, bringing strike water up to temperature or cold crashing. It has a few advantages over the STC, a) You can see the current temperature and the desired temperature at the same time. A few times I've used my STC to get strike water for the mash ready, then forgot to drop it down to mash temperature and basically killed the mash. b) It's easier to program than the STC and it can be done with one hand. The STC requires you to hold down one button while pressing another while changing settings - I know a brewer that has a problem with one of their hands that can't program the STC. The settings are also abbreviated to letters, e.g. ts for temperature set rather than just numbers 1 to 4. c) You can set the differential from the temperature you want separately for heating and cooling which really is great if your heating or cooling system causes swings. You might want it to start heating when the temperature is half a degree below your required temperature, but not want a cooler to kick in until it's 4 or 5 degrees over - the STC doesn't let you do that. d) The quality of the temperature probe wire is much more rugged and twice the length of my STC probe's and the replacement I bought. This may be because I bought a knock-off STC. I stick the probe to my fermenter under a wadge of blu-tak and just with reasonable flexing the wire shielding split next to the sensor. I didn't notice this and humidity got into the split and caused changes in resistance meaning I had to recalibrate it all the time. I thought the STC itself was broken before I tracked it down. e) It has a high and low alarm feature which I find useful when doing a mash. I don't have a good mash tun so I set the low alarm to 65c and when it goes off it lets me know to add a bit of hot water. f) It's plug and play! You won't run the risk of electricuting everybody by not knowing how to wire it up. g) It's plug and play #2! You won't risk eye and limb damage trying to Dremel out an aluminium hard drive enclosure to fit it into and all the sockets. Seriously, the sparks burnt my decent jumper when I made my STC enclosure, and the number of disks I went through was shocking. In the picture I've got them lying together but actually have the 308 and sockets mounted on the wall and it feels really solid. Overall even though it does the same job as my STC-1000 it does it slightly better and I sort of trust it more. Review: Perfect for controlling temperature - Takes a while to understand. However once it's set up it does a great job.. Well made and a good investment ## Features - Easy to Use - Plug the heater/cooler in sockets at the Inkbird temperature controller, set your desired temperature and you're done. - Temperature Sensor - The temperature probe is waterproof made of food grade material, please rest assured to use in food making such as homebrewing, biltong making. - Heating Cooling Dual Output & Delay Protection - Dual relay output to connect in a position with refrigeration and heating systems simultaneously. Heating / Cooling differential function can be set to protect separately for cooling and heating for temperature control of violent change. Also, compressor delay protection for compressor control. - High/Low Temperature Alarm - With high and low temperature alarms, it is no need to pay attention to temperature changes at all times. - Widely Used - The Inkbird digital thermostat is Ideal for homebrewing, fermentation, beer/wine storage, greenhouse heater, tube heater, aquarium heater, heat mat, reptile vivarium. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01E74TEPG | | Best Sellers Rank | 17,954 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 12 in Thermostats for Terrariums | | Brand | Inkbird | | Brand Name | Inkbird | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 599 Reviews | | Display Type | digital | | Display type | digital | | Included Components | NTC sensor | | Included components | NTC sensor | | Item Weight | 349 g | | Item weight | 349 g | | Manufacturer | Inkbird | | Manufacturer Part Number | ITC-308AE | | Model Number | ITC-308 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Temperature Control Type | Heating | | UPC | 747380949863 | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Inkbird - **Display type:** digital - **Included components:** NTC sensor - **Item weight:** 0.77 Pounds - **Temperature Control Type:** Heating - **UPC:** 747380949863 ## Images ![ITC-308 Temperature Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K-BNcjrUS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the seller recomend this can be used with a ceramic set up in a reptile viv? Does it act like a pulse or dimming stat or on off stat?** A: The Inkbird thermostat controller are all the on/off model. But it is also can work with the ceramic heat emitter or tube heater. **Q: Would this be suitable for a crested gecko enclosure as the heat lamp I have is very hard to maintain the correct temperature** A: I would say yes if the heat lamp you use is not relied on for any firm of light in the tank. When the temp is over your required level the power will be cut to the lamp therfore letting the heat dissipate. When the temp lowers to within 0.2 degrees of where you want to be the lamp will power back up. Normally this device will keep to within 1 degree of your required setting **Q: Can i use 2 heating equipment for the cooling and heating? I have 2 reptiles and wonder if i can plug the heat lamp in cooling and other in heating** A: The two socket outlets are controlled by separate relays. When one socket is on the other is off. The drawback is there is only one thermocouple (heat sensor) as it is designed to control ONE enclosed space not two. Experiment with two table lamps, one in each socket and use a hair dryer on the heat sensor. **Q: can someone recomend a good heater/cooler to go with this? I'm struggling to find one** A: This all depends on the size of the space your trying to maintain. Although it does work great with a oil filled radiator plugged into heat and carbon filter extraction on cool. This also helps regulate humidity. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and has a few useful features that make it preferable to my STC-1000 *by D***E on 21 January 2019* The Inkbird 308 is an easy to use, plug in and go temperature controller that I got to supplement my current STC-1000 controller.
