  I don't know about that yeast but I'm not sure an air lock is appropriate for starters. You
  kinda want air to be able to get into the flask to provide o2. That's the purpose of the stir
  plate. Move co...

  I've seen peltiers as large as 300 watt. Check this out. You could stick one on either side

  Now I can brew outside! :mug:Please brew in the middle of the road for me. I always hoped I'd
  get the opportunity before I left last year.
