Don't suppose anyone has a heater plate surplus to requirements?
I'm in Stafford and happy to collect if anyone has one
Cheers

Heater plate wanted

Welcome to the Forum. :thumb: :thumb:
A heating pad will still need some form of temperature control so for many brews (and before I could afford better) I warmed my brews with what my wife described as "The Contraption".
It consisted of an old bit of shelving covered in sheets (for insulation) and originally with a couple of lamps (to provide heat). It was big enough to hold not only an FV for the brewing but also enough bottles to carbonate a whole brew as well.
Temperature was initially controlled by switching the lights "On" or "Off" and by changing the wattage of the bulbs but I moved on to a small 40w heater with a temperature control before buying a brew-fridge and an Inkbird temperature controller.
This is the heater I bought ...

... and here's a couple of photographs (with the heater in the background) just in case no one else has a spare heating pad. :thumb: :thumb:

Hi!
Great "contraption"!
I brew in the old washhouse and have built a fermentation chamber heated by a tubular heater and cooled by the British winter.
