So I picked up a belt for $26 at LHBS from owner's recommendation. From what I was reading in joy of homebrewing and on net the 'quality' lager yeasts ferment well at lower temps but what I was seeing in the airlock wasn't what I should have been. The yeasts they have say to keep brew around 70-75 and next to my boiler is high 60s at best, if it's even on.
needless to say I strapped the brew belt on my honey lager (brewing my first batch properly this time) and DAMN this thing was running wild. working really well and still cruising along. ATM I have a pale ale in my keg and it is a little watered down sort of taste but that's clearly because fermenting temps were low, but is still very drinkable.. can't wait to start drinking really good tasting beer!!!
had to share my excitement
