Fermenting

G’day, hope this is the right place for this post as I am very new to all this and at 75yo have difficulty absorbing new stuff! How can I keep the temp. of my 10l Air Still fermenter tub in the summer months? Have sorted a heat pad and blanket for cold months. Cheers

Thanks Bluc but the temp of a fridge setting would be too low surely.

Have a look at an inkbird temp controller. Uses a wired thermometer will turn fridge on off to hold at right temp. Fairly simple diy setup..
