Fermentation Heater
Hello,
I'm making some home wine from grapes. I'm fermenting in an open top barrel and am looking for solutions to heat/maintain heat on my ferment. Does anyone have any suggestions? I looked into aquarium heaters, but I was reading the rubber and plastic on those aren't tolerant with high acid/alcoholic solutions.
I'm thinking maybe a heating belt to wrap around. The circumfrence is 116.5" at the widest part. Right now I have a space heater that I'm moving around. Trying not to run it too much though as I don't have a tarp to tent.
