if you don't have one of those warming belts, what do you guys do to raise the temp in your fermenter?
thanks for the suggestions guys...i can't do the christmas lights thing since i'm using a carboy but I think the aquarium heater thing will do. So i just stick my carboy in a platic vessel and put water in it and immerse the aquarium heater in the water correct? how strong of an aquarium heater should I get? thanks
Water bath and fish tank heater. Has a thermostat and fine temp control. Best of all it is simple and cheap
I use a ceramic element that screws into a light bulb socket. I have it in a cheap desk lamp in my fermentation fridge hooked up to a dual output Ranco digital temp controller. One side controls the heat element, the other side controls the fridge for cooling. I can dial in any temp and be within one degree of the setting. Hot or cold, it's da bomb!
That is awesome. Does heating your fridge leach chemicals?
Kidding, but is mold a problem?
(Do chemicals leached kill the mold?)
My basement is hovering around 64-65 drgrees. Is that warm enough for the fermentation?

Beer Style is a smoked Porter. Got the kit from Brewer's best. Don't know what the yeast strain is....
