I've another question for the experts...
Up to now I've just left my beer to ferment at room temp, sat beside the radiator. That's been ok in the winter but even then I was getting swings of at least 2 degrees each day.
It's now too warm in the flat (up to 24 C), and too cold in the basement (14C).
An aquarium heater looks like a good idea for when I can ferment in the flat again, but there is no power in the basement... I don't think a battery supply to an aquarium heater is feasible, any other ideas on how I can get the temperature up so I can ferment in the basement?
Failing that, is there anything I can brew which will ferment at 14 C with no temp control?
