If its any consolation i am into my 4th week with the same brew and around the same stage as you.
If your heat mat is 25w and is on for most of the day, it will be consume about 0.5 kw-hr per day, which, if you buy at say 20p per kw-hr, will cost you about 10p per day i.e naff all. So now you can go back with an authoritative answer and then, if challenged, say it's about 100 times less than a hairdryer :wink:Heating pad still permanently on this time of year,
I've had the "AND HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY IS THAT USING?"
Oh not much dear (I hope).

Yes it can drop down a bit where i have to have my fermenting bucket. I have no real means of being able to control the temperature. I still seem to get stuff thats drinkable though eventually.Oh, Why is that then,
Are you fermenting in a cold area?
Tbh mate,that sounds a bit of a nightmare,why donââ¬â¢t you bottle?Well you did warn me about my Balliihoo PB and losing pressure terrym. the brew has been in the PB for 2 weeks now and I have been checking the pressure of the barrel with a reliable tyre pressure gauge.
It is now down to almost nothing. I've not been drinking it at all - so lose of pressure is either a leak or is it the gas re-desolving back into the beer since I've moved it somewhere cooler ? This is first time use for PB.
I have noticed I can move the tap on it's fixing if I grab it and apply not too much force. Obviously not tight enough before adding brew!
Still, the beer does come out of the tap if turned on.
I have added some extra pressure with my CO2 cyl up to about 8psi and will continue to monitor pressure.
The only other option I can think of is whip the top off, re-tighten the tap, put top back on and re-pressure with CO2 but I'm a
bit reluctant in case I ruin the whole batch.
Any thoughts?
Paul
