I've just purchased an SS Brewtech Brew Bucket, which looks the business and - I'm sure IS the business - however, I'm testing it on some water before using it for real and I have an issue.
My cellar is 11C and the water (when going into the fermentor) was around 9C. After three hours of having a heat belt strapped around the middle, the water is only 14C and there is a whole heap of condensation.
Before purchasing, the retailer assured me that stainless steel was a better conductor of heat, so a brew belt would work really well at heating.
Anyone had any experience or suggestions that don't include a brew fridge?!
