How do you heat your fermentation chamber? (Poll)

I wrap the fermenter in reptile enclosure heat tape.

Thanks for the input. That's what I was thinking.

Did you just buy a light fixture or build your own?

I built it using a light socket and an extension cord. I had them in my basement from when I renovated my house, so it was nice and cheap.

Not a chamber, per se. I use a ceramic space heater and a Johnson controller. I just have the heater 6 inches away from bucket on garage floor. I don't like the idea of a heater in an enclosed space.

I installed a light bulb socket & connected to my dual stage temp controller. Also have a small fan constantly circulating the air. Hot or cold.




My chamber holds 5-6 carboys at a time.

I use my MoreBeer heated/cooled conicle👍

I must have this. $1800? Just got promoted and a bonus.

I attached a reptile heating pad to an stc1000. The heating pad sits directly under fermenter. Works well so far. Wrapped fermenter in reflextix, the 16 watt heating pad can easily maintain a 10+ degree delta from ambient. I plan on building a chamber around the whole shebang and add cooling later

Top of food dehydrator in mini fridge chamber when the basement temp gets below 67 or using a Belgium strain.

I use a 12V car seat warmer wrapped around the carboy.

Cool improvisation...

So do I... problem is I often brew 2-4 beers in successive days. Then I use a refrigerator with a STC 1000 and a heating pad.... Turning a dorm fridge into a fermentation chamber today... cause it was free and you can never have too many fermentation chambers.... Doesn't often get cold around here, (except as of late) but will use a heating pad and STC 1000 for it as well.
