Calibration of Mr. Robobrew and STC1000 - October 14

It was easy to calibrate Mr. Robobrew once I did it a few times to get it right. However, 

Mr. STC1000 was a different matter. I had to watch You Tube and remember it for when

I went downstairs. I eventually did it and it seems to be fine. You don't have to be exact since I

do have the temp strip to look at. The temp was at 60F so I carried the carboy into the beer room and turned on the wall heater. It is hit and miss since it doesn't have any temp measurements to go by. These heaters aren't accurate anyway. Just so it is anywhere between 64F - 66F. 

I should check both these units for accuracy every time I use them. Maybe I will get good at doing it and it will be a quick thing to do. The temp controller was off .7C which isn't too bad. It all

depends on the ice/water glass if it is really 0C when you do calibrate it. I left the temp probe in

it for 5 minutes and it was right in the middle of the ice. I had to go with that and set it to 0C.
