Hi,
This should be a simple question to answer...
The winter is just about here, and here in the middle of China, 'room temperature' is just above freezing over the winter months, as most houses aren't heated, or at least not heated all the time. Right now i have a heater blowing at my primary fermenter and a starter that I've got going...
But I cant leave my setup sitting on my dining table with a heater blowing on it for 3 mo to a year (making mead and cyser)...
So how do i make a fermenting chamber to regulate the temp UP to 75? The posts i have read about this were all for cooling down, not heating up...
Anyone have a suggestion for me that wont require me to have a spare fridge or fancy materials? And what do i use to heat and regulate the temp?
Update:
My cyser is still bubbling away... its belches were stinking like yesterdays lunch for a few days (someone in here called it 'rhino farts' in another thread), but now has returned to smelling like apple pie. Whew! And i thought all was lost!
My starter is bubbling too, and looking good... its got 2 layers of sediment on the bottom right now... a very fine white sediment on top of a grainy looking white and creme colored layer.
