When developing all of our fermenter heaters we utilize our walk-in cooler for our extreme cold scenario testing. Hell, sometimes we even put one outside in sub freezing temps just to prove a point... we test the crap out of our products!
This was 11 gallons of water that warmed 12 degrees in 12hrs in sub freezing conditions. The gentle yet powerful heating ensures that your yeast will not be stressed when the heater kicks on. This balance of gentle yet powerful heating took months to develop but was well worth it to ensure the best product is produced when using our products!
Pro Tip: If you’re fermenting in a very cold environment or trying to get near 90F for your Kviek yeasts you can tape the heater directly to the fermenter to help increase the heat transfer.
