Don't laugh it's paid for brew fridge

[Mascrappo]

OK time to have a laugh. Here is my on-the-cheap brew fridge. Inkbird 308 and 2 heating plates. My first attempt, we'll see I suppose!

Looks legit
It'll be interesting to see how those 25 watt heating pads perform. I hope your Inkbird probe will either be thermowell'd or strapped to the fermenter side with a thick chunk of insulation over it. Definitely don't control the chamber by the air temperature within...

Cheers!

LOL, I live in desert New Mexico where night time temps dip but rapidly warm as fast during the day...so 25W hopefully enough. I do thermowell setup normally and plan to do in fridge as well.

In answer to your question, yes, those two plates do work. Past few days have not got above freezing and so far so good! I opted for the Anvil fermentor and heat does reach the wort; I feared the plastic bottom protector would not let it pass. Cheers!
