I have a controller, which will switch on a cooling or heating socket, and some years ago it was used in a fridge with some bulbs one socket turned on bulbs if too cool, the other the fridge if too warm.
However Morrisons did a beer at 90p for 4 cans, and although only 2% it was not really worth all the effort to home brew, so fridge/freezer dumped. But two things, one beer price gone to £1.74 and Coronavirus means I am not going out, have two kits in stock plus the sugar required, so started first one yesterday.
However for heater to work need a cupboard or some thing, and no way to cool, except I have a spare bathroom, so idea was fill bath with water at 20°C and it would maintain the beer temperature, but it failed, this morning brew at 16°C far too cold.
So trying to think of a method to keep it warm, best if some thing which can be switched on/off with the controller. Any ideas.
