Inkbirdplus Heat Mat for Plants Reptile Heating Pad Seedling Heat Mat for Seed Starting Greenhouse and Germination, 20W, 10" x 20"

This allows me to control the temperature in my homebrew, which is good for Kveik yeast strains, who like it hot. As opposed to the cheaply-made wraps that I have been using, this is a lot more durable. As these heat wraps were also intended for heating plants, they are more water resistant than the old wraps I have The beer is a liquid, so I will not be devastated if a little spills. In addition to getting warmer, these can also get dusty. (Have I mentioned This is used with an Ink Bird temperature That way, I can keep a steady preset temperature.

This mat met my needs very well since it has a uniform heating surface and very little temperature variation throughout. Especially if you are planning to use it with animals, a temperature controlled thermostat is a must. With Inkbird's thermostats, you can choose from a variety of options, some of which can even be controlled and monitored via internet. This mat's flexibility is another great feature because you can wrap it around whatever you want to warm up. A kombucha jar should be available soon, so I will also have the chance to try it out.

It has a lower wattage, so there is less chance of burning the tank, but it probably cannot be used in larger tanks, or to heat certain reptiles (for which I use a heating mat). In Florida, it would be perfect for my seedling tubs, and again it would be ideal for my cricket tubs during winter. In the event you keep your insect bins in lower temperatures, you may want to consider a mat such as this and a relatively regulated room temperature. I think this is a terrific.

As it turned out, the inkbird kombucha seedling mat was almost the perfect size for my 1 cc seedling. Fermentation of small batches of beer has been carried out in 75G kegs. * Given the low profile of the mat, I can easily see it being very beneficial if you want to control the temperature of 1G jars of kombucha. have not brewed kombucha in a while since I moved into small batch beer making. Adding a lot of value to the product are the large, elastic black As a result, the mat stays in place on your fermentation vessel. This is a great addition that will prevent it from falling away or shifting over time. All in all, I am very pleased with this small scale product, which is a great addition to the larger seedling mats I use for larger batches (like 5g I have updated Having checked in after a few days of fermentation, I notice that these things are keeping heat like crazy. My fermentation chamber was 12° higher than the ambient temperature in my basement. The fact that they look so small doesn't detract from their power. It might be a good idea to heat a whole 5g fermenter next and see how they do.

Buy one with a temperature It went wrong, I bought this for brewing kombucha--it's too hot and I have to turn it off when it's done. While resting the brewing containers on the mat, the thermometer showed a temperature above 80 degrees, which is too hot. As there are no switches to control the temperature or turn it on or off. There is a long process of plugging it in then unplugging it in order to regulate the temperature which takes a long time. I had read that it could be used to make kombucha. I was not able to make it work. Helping new plants grow was another thing we did.

In order to add heat to a fermentation, I chose this heat mat because it looked more durable than other choices. Growing seeds is also one of my hobbies, so it is convenient that it can be used for both of them. Waterproof and well made, the mats feel sturdy and are My fermenter is nicely enclosed by it, which is thin and conforms to the shape. You can flip it over to see white on the other side if you do not like reading the advice. A side with instructions for growing seedlings can also be found. By using some loose insulation around the fermenter as a heat source (not shown), I was able to heat 10 gallons of water to 9 degrees above ambient temperature. As for the temperature range of the kveik yeast, I'm sure we can improve it with better insulation, as yeast cannot sit on the 63F floor/cold basement and generate extra heat by itself. My goal is simply to raise the temperature for a diacetyl rest, so this should definitely do the trick.

There is a cat in my house that doesn't have a fur undercoat, so she easily gets cold, so I bought this for her but both cats took it over. Two out of three love it, and one is a Mainecoon, so I was shocked to see him also enjoy it. If you have a beloved pet and don't keep your home as warm as I do, then I would recommend this product. My house does not get colder than 70 degrees during the coldest weather, even in the greatest snowstorm.

I use this in my fermentation refrigerator to keep it at an even temperature and avoid having a lot of temperature For yeast to stay at a constant temperature, it needs to be warm. In the winter, as temperatures drop, I need to keep warm to maintain a consistent A mat like this one does that nicely it is flexible, so it can be wrapped around fermenters, or attached to the inside of fermenters to radiate heat evenly and slowly. The outside temperatures here have ranged from the low 40's to the low 60's, but the inside temperature of my refrigerator hasn't varied by more than one You did a pretty good job there.
