when you bottle your beer and store it in the basement, the temperature might not be warm enough. This video talks about a simple heating system that will solve this problem.

  • When fermenting,

    can i put the carboy in a old fridge (not turned on) to keep it warm?

  • @BatspindaVL That, and you can also wrap it up in a blanket, or re wire the light bulb switch so the light stays on when the door is shut.

  • Yeah its a good idear to use xmax lights but when you want to drink it do you drink it straight from the box or do you chill it in the fridge for a fews hours? I hate warm beer and i think that goes for many of us...lol

  • @davythom Well, after a week with the lights you can remove them and chill the beer before drinking, or store it in the fridge.

  • electric box is refferd to as a gang box, great vids.

  • Craig you ever get beer bombs??? Im a little concerned about it.. should I be? also when I bottle im thinking of putting in my garage in FL... little hot ...

  • Your fermenting temps are a little too high. For most ale yeasts 59 to 63 F is a good range. Even a little lower than that is good, 55 F. Be patient and let your beer age at least a month. It will taste a lot better.

  • in the winter, we used a heating pad under our cat's window bed, and the cats would fight to lay there. Then after a few years the heating pad stopped working. When I went to buy a replacement, I found that all the new heating pads shut themselves off after about 30 minutes. None (in the US) stay on continuously any more. So much for using (any recent) heating pads to keep cats- or beer- warm.

  • You need to watch parts 3 and 4 of my "home brewing the easy way' series.
