Inkbird Kombucha Heating Pad Kombucha Heater Kombucha Warmer for Scoby Starter 3"x20"

  I was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed the InkBird heating mat the other day! The product was simple to use and exactly what I was looking for. It has a long cord, which is useful if you want to put it somewhere that isn't close to an outlet. There are no exposed parts on the material, so it appears to be waterproof. The plastic appears to be quite strong and long-lasting. However, if you're looking for a flat mat to place beneath seedling trays, this isn't it. Because this is designed to wrap around a jar, you'll probably want the 8x20 version. There are rubber bands included, but even without them, it will stay on a quart or pint jar. I was initially annoyed by the lack of instructions, but it's literally as simple as "plug it in, and walk away. " On the cuff itself, there are also instructions and warnings. I've started working on my g- So far, so good with the free sourdough! There are no issues. Because I won't let him use mine, I'm thinking hubs will get the 8x20 for his greenhouse projects. Great product, highly recommend!.

The product appears to do a good job of maintaining the temperature of my kombucha brew at around 24 degrees Celsius. In a 1, I'm brewing. Jar capacity: 3 gallons I really like this product because the bands are easy to apply regardless of jar size. br>br>The temperature it maintains is ideal for yeast growth. br>br> Of course, this isn't a problem; it's just something to keep in mind. br>br>I haven't tested it in extreme cold, but at this low wattage, I'm not sure how well it would hold up, but even if it didn't, the product is inexpensive and uses very little electricity. It's not going to move mountains for you. As a result, I have no complaints.

Element for heating. For homebrewing, kombucha, or sour dough starters, this is an excellent heating element. My personal use was to keep the temperature of my yeast starter in my basement from dropping too low. It did a fantastic job of raising the temperature by a factor of five. The temperature is ten degrees. br>br>I also tested this heating element in my fermentation chamber, which was able to hold 5 gallons of wort at 69 degrees Fahrenheit. It could easily be used as a temperature control for 3-gallon beer batches. br>br>Overall, this product is well built and packs a punch for its size! Plus, it's an Inkbird product, so you know it'll last and be supported well.

This thing didn't even produce much heat. It's connected to an Inkbird controller, and it's never gone up a single degree. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out as my fermenting beer became colder. Finally, I emailed inkbird, who informed me that it was not working after several emails. duh! They sent me a new one, which is fine, but the amount of time spent on this product is why it received a one-star rating.

I wrapped it around my gallon of Kombucha and was surprised to find that the outside sticky thermometer I had stuck in there was reading about 10 degrees higher than it had been the night before. Before it gets too hot, I think I'll need to make some space between the heater and the container. In my opinion, this is an excellent product. Inkbird, I appreciate it.

While the temperature in my kitchen was in the low 60s (Fahrenheit), this Inkbird heating pad kept the Kombucha fermenting at around 79-80 degrees. 82, based on the stick-to-it-ness. using a thermometer br>br>All you have to do is plug it in and wrap it around the jar/fermentation vessel to use it. That is all there is to it. br>br>I can't wait to keep using this product for my Kombucha and yeast staters at home. This product is highly recommended if you need a little extra warmth for your fermentation projects! I used it to make beer, but I'm sure there are other uses for it.

Because my basement is cold, and my temperatures drop as fermentation progresses, I decided to purchase this heating pad. I didn't have high expectations for this product because it was designed for something the size of a Mason jar, but it actually works great for 5 gallon fermentors. In about 12 hours, I was able to raise my temperature by about 6 degrees (62 to 69 in a 60 degree basement). I've used personal space heaters in the past, but I believe they're dangerous and have melted some of the plastic in my fermentation chamber (wine fridge). I'll be getting another one for my other fermentor. I would strongly suggest it.
