Heat pads and heat belts are the most economical way to keep you fermenter temperature from dropping too low. The strikes are over but the service from Royal mail is still as shaky as ever but at the moment they are the best of a bad bunch.

This great heater belt for home brewing comes with a variable temperature dial control and is suitable for 1 gallon demijohns to 33 litre fermenters. One of the main advantages of using the temperature adjustable heat belt over a heating pad is that it can be easily moved up or down the fermenter to increase or decrease the heat transfer to the brew. It is ideal for aiding fermentation with one or two demijohns or any make of 5 Gallon/25 Litre vessel, and is suitable for beer, spirits, and wine making.

The Heat Belt is designed to be used during primary fermentation and to aid the start of secondary fermentation.

It is safe for using with both glass and plastic containers and is very economical as it only consumes 25 watts of power. I use a heat mat where my fermenter sits nicely on it, I have a brew fridge so with the temperature control on both fridge and heat mat it keep a very steady temperature for whatever I set it at.You really want to keep your fermentation temperatures as stable as possible, so it'll all require some dialing in.

The real difference between brew belts and heat pads are that you position the heat belt up or down the fermenting vessel allowing some degree of temperature control. Both types of device use very little energy and are suitable for both fermenting buckets or carboys and demijohns (although I would urge caution directly heating cold glass).One of the main benefits of using a Heat Belt is the reduced time it takes to complete the brewing process of your beer, cider and wine. The heat belt is wrapped around the fermenter and the cord pulled tight so it grips around the fermenter at the height you choose (more on this in a moment). I use the fermenter belt with a temperature controller so it cycles on and off and keeps my home brew within a few degrees either side of my target temperature. No more moving the belt up and down the demijohn to get the temperature right, just setup the thermometer on the outside of the demijohn and regulate the temperature using the dial.
