Good luck with these, that 3gal fruit one sounds interesting, what bulbs are you using to warm your brews ?, I'm gonna have to rig something up as my shed is like a fridge at the moment.
All the best

hi im using 1x20w,,,and 1x12w energy savers
iv just ordered a thermostat contoler on ebay from china under £7 including postage
then i will use 2x 20w energy savers
box was made from 5 polystyrene sheets from b&q 1200x450x50
i will try to put pictures on
larger sheets would be better hieght as iv had to cut slots in top for air locks

Hi,

I would suggest NOT using energy savers! My understanding is that they are more efficient with regards to light, but what we want is actually the waste heat from the bulbs. May not make a huge difference, just a thought.
