So I brew small batches fermenting in demijohns. I have a small tabletop freezer I intend to use as a fermentation chamber - I can fit two demijohns in so it's pretty much perfect.
I need to find a solution for heating... the space in the freezer has the following dims in mm (HxWxD)
150 x 340 x 140
I want to find something that provides sufficient wattage without risking scorching the top/walls of the freezer.
Would a tube heater be okay if it is small enough? Or would some kind of fancy arrangement of a heat cable be better? I'm guessing for that kind of volume I'm only looking at a v low wattage requirment (maybe ~10W)?
One thought is that I might try a method of souring that requires culturing lactobacillus from yogurt - so it needs to be able to heat the chamber to approx 40*C if possible...
