I have 2 aquarium heaters I use to maintain fermentation temps. Sadly I broke one last winter. It should still work, the only thing wrong with it is that I broke the glass tubing. I think if I can just get something to replace it it will be working again.
Only problem is I am not sure what I would use. It needs to seal the electrical elements from getting wet and it needs to be heatproof I suppose.
Is there something I could use that costs less than buying a new heater or is it just not worth it?
Or is there another way I can use the heater and thermostat? I am not too electronically savvy so that may not be possible for me. Although I could get help from my FIL. He works designing industrial heating and cooling controls and sensors... Wish he lived closer I could really have some snazzy fermentation chambers instead of a tub of water and an aquarium heater!
