Hey everyone
Well the time has come that my mother has said no more brewing in my bedroom. My dad has cleared space out the shed for me and we were discussing ways of keeping the temperature right for fermenting. After much searching I realised that a brew belt or tray was out of the question without getting thermostats attached, I come across a picture Moley click me had put on of his water bath with what I assume to be a aquarium type heater in.
My question is if I get one of these for the shed with a plastic container to hold the water, in the winter how can I stop all the heat from the water just rising and leaving? My first thought would be to raise the heater temperature slowly day by day until I find the right water temperature at which the wine is staying at around 18-20 degrees. The only problem is that each time the weather/temperature changes then I would have to start messing around with it again.
Does anyone have any other ideas of how to do this?
Many thanks
