One simple solution is an aquarium heater with an adjustable thermostat.

Also, a few years ago I bought a couple of cheap sleeping bags in Halfords and had herself cut them in half and sew the cut edges, to stop them coming apart, and I used each half as a sleeping bag insulator for my 30lt fermenters. I'm still using them today ;D Cheap as Chips and works like a charm ;)

Cheap electric blankets work well too..
Brew belts IMO overrated.
the important thing is the insulation which stops temperature swings.
