Works great for homebrewers too. Holds 55 lbs of malted grain. Tight lid, works as designed. Save money and buy bulk grains to mill at home yourself.

Awesome little gadget here, I use mine for brewing beer (keep track of HLT temp).

I purchased the ITC-310T to use for homebrewing purposes, for multiple reasons.  First I purchased it because I wanted a temperature controller to use with a commercial coffee urn that I use for heating Sparge Water.  The other two purposes I purchased it for were as a backup to  the STC-1000 controllers that I use for my kegerator/keezer and my fermentation chamber.  Both of these are run off of chest freezers, the kegerator only cools, and I use a terraium heat wire to heat as well in the fermentation chamber.  I have had STC-1000s that have failed in the past, so having a pre-wired ready to go backup in the event of a failure is a ver nice proposition.

Since I have had the ITC-310T, I have only so far used it for the heating of sparge water via the coffee urn.  The coffee urn is 1100 watts, and this is rated to handle 1200 watts, where many other models are only rated for 1000 watts, so this model is a clear winner for my situation.  It was pretty easy to setup, I actually skimmed most of the manual that was included and just followed the menu chart with descriptions to get it set to the temperature I needed.  The manual wasn't the best, but I still got it going in minutes.  The part about setting the time and date that was referenced in an earlier review actually was crossed off with a pen/sharpy in the one that came with mine.  I really did not find the programming difficult at all.  The only thing I noticed is that the power cord from the wall outlet to the controller got a bit warm to the touch while heating water with the coffee urn.  I was not overly concerned, as it was just warm, not hot, and I knew I was at the top end of the limit for this, but if they are still willing to revise the design of this at all, I would suggest a thicker guage power cord on this with thicker insulation.

The beauty of this thing is it is literally plug and play, you don't have to spend any extra money and time on outlets, project boxes and wires.  You would be hard pressed DIY an STC-1000 and outlets in a good looking box for less money than this thing costs (emphasis on the good looking part, I'm sure you could do an ugly job for slightly less).  Heating the sparge water went off without a hitch.  I plan on trying this in place of my STC-1000 on my fermentation chamber when I make a lager soon to test the different setpoints on it, and have it automatically change the temperature over time.  I will try to update the review after I have done that.  I plan on adding an additional fermentation chamber or two in the future, and if all goes well with this as I expect, I plan to use these for both of them, and just hang this from it's loop on the front.  If I were to redo my kegerator/keezer, I would also use one of these and just hang it on the back to simplify the wiring.

Overall, I'm very happy with this, and I plan to update the review once I've used it a bit more and for a few different purposes.

As a homebrewer, I needed a temperature controller to make sure my lagering fridge would remain at a constant temperature. This thing has a nice length of wire on the probe and causes no issues with the seal around the door. Being analog, it does have a little bit of wiggle room (+/- 2 or 3 degrees), but absolute temperature control wasn't my concern since yeast is a living creature and can handle a range of temps. If you've got a fancy fridge, I recommend getting a digital controller, though. The analog model will cut the power to the fridge right in the middle of a compressor cycle, and that's a good way to burn out your compressor over time. The digital ones only cut the power when the compressor is off, saving the life of your fridge. As long as you know what you're getting, though, this temp controller works well!

Great for home brewing. Nice and sturdy. Not flimsy.

Great for home brewing.  I use the lower jet burner to heat the water and the upper burner for my boil pot.  I have not tried to mash on it and use a rubber maid 10 gal cooler to mash.  Heats fast and is efficient.

This was my starter kit for home brewing. I'm still using most of what came in it. It was a better deal than buying the pieces separately. It includes most of what's needed to start making 5 gallon batches of homebrew. Highly recommend this.

I use this thing primarily for brewing beer, but also for cooking. Works perfect. Love the alarm on it and the little clip that came with it. Works perfect for candy making, I use it with my toffee and the alarm keeps me from ruining batches.

This badboy is great! I've been a homebrewer for a little over 10 years now and just recently got into yeast cultivation and storage. I use this large beaker for making starters (2 liter starters, but I'm sure it could handle a 3 liter starter with ease) . I love how easy it is to clean because of the large opening, and it sits sturdy on my smaller stirplate. Also well made, in my opinion. It pays for itself after several yeast starters.

I use this scale for measuring hops and grain for homebrewing. It works very well overall, but make sure you have it on for about 10 seconds before weighing anything, to let it setup/zero out properly.

Use this for storing/transporting carboys filled with my fermenting homebrew.  Work great with plastic better bettles and also doubling up with 1 gallon glass carboys.  Also good with regular storage of items.

So you know when you start homebrewing and you get carried away and you start brewing 5 or 10 or 20 gallon batches every weekend and then some. Well, thats me and I have way too much beer on my hands. Not a bad thing at all. That said,I stopped buying kits a while ago and now I'm making my own recipes, hence the need of just buying a lot of the standard US-05. Cant go wrong with this work horse.

This item is worth every penny if you're a homebrewer. I've been stuck with placing my wort into a sink full of ice and waiting ages for it to col to the correct temperature. This immersive cooling coil hooks up to your sink, you run cold tapwater through it and it comes out the other end into the drain. It took like 5 minutes for me to cool my last batch instead of like 40 minutes using an ice bath.

Works as a great wet hop bag for your home brew. Large enough to float in and leave string outside. It does get a little off colored after a few uses but soaked in some PBW cleaner which took out a bunch of it.

Bought this pot for homebrewing beer, and I am very happy with this product. I was carrying it around with over 7 gallons of water in it (going from my kitchen to the burner outside my apartment) and it felt very sturdy with no warping or flexing. It came to a boil very quickly and was able to maintain the boil very well despite being outside in 50 degree weather with the wind blowing right on it. Would recommend this pot to any homebrewer looking to do full boils for 5 gal batches.

Use for homebrew set up. Works great and makes connecting and moving the liquid around from vessel to vessel much easier.

You will need this for home brewing. Good quality.
