It's that time of the year here in ny where my basement is about 52. Having just stepped up to 10 gallon batches I can no longer ferment in my upstairs closet. Last batch I used a water bath and aquarium heater but somewhere along the way something happen to my heater and I need a new option. I read on someone's thread that they use the reptile heating tape. I currently ferment in basic plastic buckets. I'm wondering do you guys who use this type, wrap it directly around the buckets or on the inner walls of a ferm chamber type. Also thinking about grabbing the 15 gallon cheap plastic conical so would I be able to wrap it around that as well? I'll be using a Johnson temp controller set up to heating function.
