Hey guys! I am a few days into my first brew, and whilst the FV is bubbling away happily enough, I have been struggling to maintain a consistent temperature.
It has ranged anywhere from 14-18 Degrees Celsius, probably not the worst, but I would prefer it to be somewhere around 18-20 from what I gather.
My issue is that our house isn't insulated very well, and unless the heaters are on, temps drop fairly rapidly. I have been trying to leave central heating on for a few hours, and then off for a few, and then on again for a few in order to try and combat fuel prices, but also get some heat into the FV.
I am curious, how are you guys doing it? Are there any simple fixes? I have thought about wrapping a duvet around it, but then I obscure the thermometer... am I being too anal?
Cheers in advance!
Evan
