The heat belt is best placed in the centre of the fermenter. Edited May 30, 2023 by Classic Brewing Co 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a little bit of duck tape to hold it in place & then whack the stubby holder over it & tape the edges to make a little warm bed for the sucker. That is an old photo when I was finishing one off at ambient, I can't find the photo with the stubby holder, but this is the same principle.

Oldbloke Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I've done the same. Just taped some insulation/foam to the side of the FV. to create a "pocket". Thermistor (temp sensor) just slides into the pocket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 @ChairmanDrew I live in the Hunter Valley NSW. Got to -2C other night and in summer gets up to 45C. Controlling temp is a bitch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
