Temperature controll?

[Cozmod123]

Does anybody know of a heating pad that will work with a thermostat to maintain proper fermentation temp, cause I have a heat mat thermostat and the ambient temperature in my fermenting room is to high.

My problem was keeping my ferment cool enough to keep the fusel alcohols down, I never needed a heater.

I havent either, I usually brew my meads at around 65-70F

How cold is the room your trying to brew in?

It's about 68. But I brew high ABV meads and they put off enough heat that the temps were getting way too high so I built a chiller.

How did you build a chiller?

Consider trying K1V-1116 it is a wi e yeast but temp tolerances are pretty high.
