Re: Brew Fridge Project
Those greenhouse tube heaters are good.
Cheap to buy and run. Look on the bay.

Re: Brew Fridge Project
I don't do the fridge thing.
I use only aquarium style heaters.
I see no good reason to change.

Re: Brew Fridge Project
Good choice. I have used ceramic pig lamps in the past. You are in effect making an incubator, so there are many choices due heat sources. But this really is a good. Waterproof is a nice touch too.

A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Sorry, can't be more precise.
Can't explain why.

Re: Brew Fridge Project
Mine seem dialable from 20 to around 32°C, in the real world, tested with independent thermometers.
No brew fridge here though.
