Hey all, I am having an issue with my ferm chamber actually being too cold with the winter weather at the moment... And I have a quick question about putting a heater in the freezer with my brew.
Has anyone else resorted to this before? Is this a reasonably safe idea? If I do put a heater in the freezer to bring the temps up, should I put it in the freezer with the heater on the lowest setting, and leave my temp controller on the freezer itself? Or would I be better off putting the heater on the temp controller and letting my Johnson unit (hehe) cycle the heater on/off?
Any input will be appreciated, as I have a HUGE imp stout that I want to make sure I get a complete fermentation on. Thanks!
