Space heater for temp control?

You could also try putting it in a cooler with water and an aquarium heater to boost the temp. I use this in the winter because my basement gets into the low 50s. Most aquarium heaters that I have seen have 64 as the lowest setting, but for Belgians, you don't have to worry about being above where you would prefer to be. An aquarium heater is much safer than a space heater, when was the last time you saw a house fire in the news where they blamed it on aan aquarium heater?

Brewed a saison and fermenting it in an upstairs guest room closet. I have a portable space heater that oscillates and shuts off once desired temp is reached. It is digital and is kind of a set and forget it. Is this ok to use? Or should I be worried about fire hazard or high energy bills?

House is usually about 72 degrees. PS- ramping up the temp from 74 to 80 degrees over a weeks time

I used a Space heater and BE WARNED - it can double your electric bills!!

I used mine in a downstairs bathroom and it cost $30+ a month.
