I put a rum wash down yesterday(first one) and with my TPW I have been wrapping the fermenter with a single electric blanket and a doona :music-deathmetal:
Its been working great and maintaining 30 deg C.
Bloody Perth winter! 4deg this morning.
OH
Sitting the fermenter next to a woodfire ticking away works pretty good!
I save my rum washs for the middle of summer when we get those weeks of hot weather, the hotter the better... plus its done in a couple days. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I've got a design in mind for a fermenting box out of scrap wood, insulation and various other bits i have around... but the effort i might be better to wait for an old fridge to come up. Got my stc1000 on the way too, and a sparky friend lined up to wire it for me.
This new hobby is going to be expensive...
