Fermentemp?

Post by spanspoon » Fri Nov 07, 2014 9:16 pm

Had an email through about one of these today.

I'm in no way plugging this and have no affiliation to the seller...thoughts please?

It can only add heat, whereas temp control is almost always about doing the opposite. Spend your money on a brew fridge instead.

That's a lot of money for a heat mat and STC1000. As Charles has already said it won't cool either.

I wasn't planning on buying one, I've got the bits n pieces for a brew fridge but just need a fridge..a mate of mine is moving into a house over the road in the next few weeks and fingers crossed he ll have a fridge for me. A brew fridge would probably be cheaper than what they're asking but for some people this might fit the bill. Ie fermenting in a cool garage bar the summer months.
