Currently fermenting with Wyeast 1332 and need a temp range of 65-75°F but I'm only at like 58-60. It's fermenting, but I want to be in the right temp range.
Am considering doing a swamp cooler with a fish tank heater, but how many watt heater? I have a small 25w heater available to me right now, but don't feel like that's enough. Not sure that I want to buy the wrap around heater because I don't want to have to take my A419 off my fridge every time I need heat.
I'm in Wisconsin and my basement is usually pretty consistent, I just ignored the requirements for this yeast as I've made this brew before... in the summer! lol
I could move it upstairs, but then it would be on carpet and out of sight -- I don't want to do that in case I get blow off (plus, I don't want the kids messing with it).
So, anyone who's used a fish tank heater think a 25w heater will get me up within the range? Even on the low end?
Thanks!
