Working electric blanket needed

Post by Patrick S. McGinnity »

Hello all! I have 15 gallons of porter I brewed at the tail end of the last heatwave (Wednesday, that is). I had hoped to keep the temperature in the fermentation chamber up around 65-68, but with the little heating pad I have in there it is holding about 10 degrees lower than the yeast would like. No fermentation = no beer.

Thought I'd see if anyone has a twin size (or larger) electric blanket I could wrap around the fermenter to help keep those little yeast cells cozy enough to do their thing? Let me know if you've got a spare I could borrow for a few weeks. Many thanks!

Patrick, look at floor heating systems that go under tile. They run about 200 bucks, have a thermostat and are safe to run on 110v They can be cut to size.
