The FermWrap Heater
FE650
Keep your yeast happy and your ferment warm during those cold winter months with this flexible heater made by Fermentap. Using tape to adhere, this flexible heating wrap can be attached directly to your fermenter or can be used to heat the space in a box (or refrigerator) that the fermenter is in. Depending on your configuration and insulation, you can increase the temperature of your ferment from 5-20 degress Fahrenheit.
If using carboy or bucket you can attach directly using tape (as seen in photo above.) We recommend electrical tape as it sticks and unsticks the easiest. Heating can be contolled by sticking either the entire wrap or a portion of the wrap to the fermenter. In an unenclosed evironment we see a heating differential between carboy and ambient of 10-15 degrees. This differential can be increased by using our carboy bag to insulate a carboy (this has been tested.) To decrease the temperature differential, stick only a portion of the heating wrap to the fermenter..
For great results, we recommend a temp controller and carboy thermal well for the ultimate in fermentation temperature contol. Or for the best control, use the dual stage control and carboy thermal well, as well as a refigerator, to control both the high and low temps. You can tape the heater to the wall of the refigerator as well.
The FermenWrap! also works great for heating our stainless conicals where it should be stuck on to the cone portion on the bottom. When used on a conical in conjunction with our cooling options and our new dual stage controller you would have the Ultimate Fermenter. Constant year around temperature control of your ferments!
With 40 watts of heat spread over almost two square feet it provides gentle even heating.
11" tall x 25" wide. Draws 40 watts. 115V. Manufactured by Fermentap.
