Better Brew Heat Belt - Home Brew Wine & Beer Making Fermenter Heater

Product Information

Please do not throw away any broken goods until we have confirmed it is ok to do so as sometimes the couriers ask for the goods as part of their investigations. We will try our best to amend address's where we can but we cannot always guarantee that we will be able to. When fermenting beer, wine, cider or mead the fermentation temperature is vital to the outcome of the final product. Please do not worry about live cultures please see the guide below for how long they can be in their packaging. If the item has been stolen from a secure location or by a neighbour this will need to be reported to the police.

If the heat pad has a tendency to warm the fermentation too much then by cycling the heat pad on and off with something like a timer can greatly aid the degree of control you have. This is a heating belt that goes round your bucket, keg demijohn or other fermenter to keep it warm so your yeast ferments at it's preferred temperature. Ideally, we want to control fermentation temperature as close as possible to the optimum temperature range for the yeast strain we are using. It is necessary to move the position of the heating belt in the following ways to enable you to maintain the temperature you require. The heat belt is wrapped around the fermenter and the cord pulled tight so it grips around the fermenter at the height you choose (more on this in a moment).The belt should not be left plugged in for more than 8 days in a row, and the must or wort temperature should be monitored daily. Please ensure your address details and contact details are correct as once Royal mail has issued charges we cannot get them refunded.

These recent changes have been implemented by DPD country-wide – they are not specific to Happykombucha parcel deliveries. The best electric heating pads for the home brewer include Brew Belt for wine or beer which wraps around the brewing bucket, immersion heaters which can be placed in the wort and heat pads on which to stand your demijohns or fermenters. Heat belts or Brew Belts are similarly energy efficient like heat pads but are designed to wrap around the fermenter and provide heat along the length of the belt. Power Usage: Most heat pads have heat sources around 30 – 40 watts so are pretty energy efficient, more so than a traditional incandescent light bulb in most cases.The only silly thing about it is the random drawer string with plastic toggle used to tighten the belt around the bucket, its unnecessarily fiddly, but doesn't inhibit the basic hating function of the product.

We do try to keep it to a minimum BUT we would rather your item arrived in one piece than be mean with the packaging. Some electric heat pads have automatic shut-off features, which turn off the pad after a specific time to prevent overheating or accidents. Using the help of fermenter heating devices like brew belts and heat pads it becomes a lot easier to dial in a consistent temperature in the fermenter even when ambient temperatures begin to fall. We apologize that this will increase postage costs but this is because we have had to switch to fully tracked services as Royal mail do not seem to want to deliver letters or untracked post.

If it still cannot be located contact us on 01323 730091 (Mon-Thursday) and we will get that investigated.

The TopBrewing heat belt is a revolution in brewing temperature control, with its own temperature control dial you can regulate the heat unlike any other belt on the market. If you need your culture by a certain date please contact us and let us know and we will do the best we can do accomodate. As a bonus, the heat belt comes with a stick-on thermometer to help you monitor the temperature of your brew more accurately. One of the main benefits of using a Heat Belt is the reduced time it takes to complete the brewing process of your beer, cider and wine.

This is due to the consistent and gentle heat provided by the heating belt, which aids in the fermentation process. I use a heat pad and it gets my temperature to over 26 degrees Celsius (With thermometer Strip Mid way up fermenter). I've bought a Heat mat today as I'm worried that even my little bedroom will be dropping down to less than 18 (or even 15 for the yeast I'm using) degrees overnight.
