Pipeline is dry due to vacation and our house sitter's thirst. I want to get a stainless fermenter and have an accurate heating solution for a 15 gallon fermenter. My brew shop (garage) is unheated except for on days when I brew. Temps range from 75F in summer to 38F in winter. My thought was to see if I can get a 16 gallon fermenter with a 120V heating element which I could plug into a temp controller and have power to the element controlled by something like the digital power controller with the rheostat. I currently ferment ales in my medium BIAC with the power box setting at 3% and it seems to work well. Anybody have any advice or experience with this? Nathan suggested the best way would be to buy another BIAC however that expense would probably lead to divorce. I'm trying to avoid a heated ferm chamber build too.
