Keep an eye on the temperature!

Now that the nights are drawing in and the temperatures are dropping, especially during the night, it may be time to plan ahead a little!

At this time of year when everything is in fruit it means that for most brewers it can be a busy time. If you have spent the summer brewing you won't have been to concerned about the temperature.

Already, the temperatures are beginning to drop and that's not good for fermentation. If it doesn't have a little warmth it will just stop. So to protect yourself against temperatures dropping we have several soluctions.

If you are brewing wine/beer/cider in a large bucket then you could take a look at the submersible Imersion Heater - which is probably the most effiecient because when its placed in the centre of the bucket it's heating radially from the inside out. This heater has a thermostat which is set at the factory to 24 deg C which is usually fine in the UK (although it can be set manually if required).

If you are making wine using demijohns then you can take a look at the 2 and 4 demijohn Heat Trays. If you are on a budget then consider the Brew Belt which wraps around the demijohn.
