Heating element for fermentation chamber

[MAC80]

Mac, I knew I would find my answer here, somewhere. I have been trying to decide how to heat 2 carboys in my chamber. I think I will make an open base for a glass ref. shelf for each carboy. Then attach that battery heater to the underside. Thanks man!

I bought a fermwrap from more beer and used double sided tape to stick it to the back of the frig. It works pretty good. My frig is outside and I have brewed since it really got cold but I think it will be fine

$8 mini space heater from Walmart plugged into the heat side of an inkbird controller that runs my chest freezer-turned-fermentation chamber. Works like a champ.

Having had a fire in my first ferm chamber caused by a smal space heater I’ve found that the ceramic bulbs used for reptile enclosures works very well. No light is emitted and no coil to catch on fire.

Odd that would happen since the atmosphere in a ferm chamber is mostly CO2 after fermentation begins.

The only thing that seems to have prevented a major conflagration was the temp controller. It cut off the power.

Velcro tape on the back wall of my 7.2cu ft chest freezer... works like a charm, and only $12.

No it isn't, fairly obviously. Unless your ferm chamber is hermetically sealed and has its own airlock, that is.

I use a 25w reptile cord heater. Works perfectly and is designed for humid environments
