Looking for a heated for a smaller fermentation chamber and want to see what everyone recommends. I haven't been using a heater since I live in Florida but from reading it appears without it there can be wide temp swings.
I use a Ferwrap: http://morebeer.com/products/fermwraptm-heater.html
Works great with a chest freezer and a dual stage temp control
I would agree.It a 7.2 cu chest freezer in the garage. I'm using a controlled from Midwest and didn't think I needed a heat source since the garage is usually 70-90 all year around.....
Given the ambient temperature, this would only be true if the heater and compressor were allowed to constantly fight one another, which isn't a very good idea from an energy consumption standpoint.....As I have been reading more, have both heat and cold allows for closer temperature control.....
