    First timer need help setting fermentation fridge up correctly

    One heat source is fine. I use a 30watt reptile heating lamp in the bottom of the fridge. I know others that have a heat mat in the bottom or a belt along the side like you suggest. Temp probe on one fv should also be fine. I place the probe between the two fv pushed close together.

    Plastic Fermenter Taps

    I got infections from the taps from not pulling apart and cleaning thoroughly. I then moved to a siphon in preference to the taps to avoid the risk of infection. Then moved back to taps as I found I was experiencing the effects of oxygenation from the siphon. Make sure you pull the taps apart...

    New Brew Rig. Advice?

    Im assuming you will be using an STC-100 or equiv to control the herms or RIMS. Why wouldnt you use the same to control the HLT and have better control for strike water and sparge water temp?
