Hi all, i realise that the heating and cooling options discussions has most likley been done to death, anyway...........
I have been scratching my head as to what is the best option to keep my ales bubbling away in the chilly winter months in Central Australia - heat lamp, heat belt, heat emmiter and other stuff used to reptiles warm, the list goes on ..........
So i thought who needs to deal with the cold also - the Brits - so i started looking and found that a lot of people were talking about and using electric heat tubes.
From what i can gather they are safe and have a varied range of uses - and fermenting beer being an unintended one i imagine
After a quick look i found this Electric tube heater - but can only find a 1.3m version which is to big - i am in the process of contacting the supplier to see if they sell others.
My question - has anyone used these before and if so what can you report and where did you get them. The chat from our British Homebrewing peer is very posative.
Thanks in advance DB
