Hi

I recently bought a temp control/fridge/coppertun heat pad for fermentation temp control. My fridge is out in the garage and it appears this particular heat pad isn't capable of generating enough heat in the current ambient temperature, even within the small space inside my fridge.

What is everyone else using as their heat source during these cold times?

Cheers
Ben

Beautiful Daniel!

I missed this post when I was trying to figure this all out. I went with an STC-1000, fridge and a reptile heating cable which has worked really well.

So... I've just successfully fermented a brew using my heat pad/fridge w/temp controller.

The instructions that came with my temp controller were useless and the plug sockets are not labelled, so I went searching on the web and found detailed instructions from someone on a Canadian forum. Turns out the ones here in NZ are wired up the opposite way round to the ones on sale in Canada and I was plugging my fridge and heat pad in the wrong sockets.

I know, I know, I'm turning redder as I type :)
