Temperature Control

Brew Belt - Heater

Adjustable belt with heat coil in an insulating jacket; Keeps buckets and carboys warm during fermentation. This belt will maintain a 23 L of fermenting liquid at a constant temperature of 23-27C (75-80F) for up to 8 days.

If you would like to maintain a consistent fermentation temperature, we recommend using the Brew Belt with a Temperature Controller (Here)

FermWrap Heater - Fermentation Heater

Use tape to adhere this flexible heating wrap directly to your fermenter. Depending on your configuration and insulation, you can increase the temperature of your ferment from 5-20 degress Fahrenheit. With 40 watts of heat spread over almost two square feet, it provides gentle even heating. Draws 40 watts. 115V.

If you would like to maintain a consistent fermentation temperature, we recommend using the Ferm Wrap with a Temperature Controller (Here)

Fermentation Heat Pad (Mangrove Jack)

Mangrove Jack's Heating Pad gives an evenly distributed, gentle warming of your entire fermenting wine and beer. No hot spots.

• Effective in rooms as cool as 55° F (13° C)
• Perfect for people making wine or beer in cool basements, houses.
• Saves on power. Inexpensive to run. Only draws 25 watts of electricity.
• Comes with a 6' long power cord
• Do not use when room temperature is above 18° C (65° F)

The Inkbird dual stage temperature controller is an easy to use and economical controller that is perfect for home brewing. Inkbird controllers allow you to control both heating and cooling, and set independent differentials for each to keep the exact temperature you need.

The Ink bird ITC-308S controller performs many of the same functions as the Ranco or Johnson but at a more affordable price, making it a great alternative for temperature control.  Aside from brewing uses, this is a great dual relay output temperature controller for cooking (use in a smoker or bbq), home growing (heat mats for seedlings, climate control), or any other DIY project you come up with!

If you would like to base the temperature control accurately on the internal temperature of a carboy, we recommend a THERMOWELL STOPPER (HERE). 

Features:

• Simple plug and play design with user friendly LED interface
• Dual stage ITC-308 - control both heating and cooling
• Adjustable Heating/Cooling differential
• 1000W max power
• Celsius or Fahrenheit
• High and low temperature and sensor fault alarms
• Can control temperatures of -58° F through 210° F (-50° C - 99° C)
• Body Dimensions: 5.5 in x 2.7 in x 1.3 in
• 5' power cord, 6.5' temperature probe cable

The HI766TR2 is an extended length penetration K-type thermocouple probe with a handle designed for use with a thermocouple thermometer. A green cable extends 1 m (3.3’) from the handle to the thermocouple connector with the meter. The sharp, pointed tip at the end of the 1 m probe allows users to obtain highly accurate temperature readings of semi-solids and liquids.

• Measures up to 250°C (482°F)
• 10 second response time
• 1 m stainless steel sensor

The HI766TR3 is an extended length penetration K-type thermocouple probe with a handle designed for use with a thermocouple thermometer. A green cable extends 1 m (3.3’) from the handle to the thermocouple connector with the meter. The sharp, pointed tip at the end of the 1.5 m probe allows users to obtain highly accurate temperature readings of semi-solids and liquids.

• Measures up to 250°C (482°F)
• 10 second response time
• 1.5 m stainless steel sensor

This 8" Threaded Thermowell is used to help provide accurate readings inside the brewing tank.

Cooling Snake - 5 Meters

A unique alternative to cooling plates. This tube-within-a-tube snake is used to recirculate glycol or cooled water through your ferment to keep temperatures down. It can be used in a tank, macrobin, or barrel. The inner vinyl tube runs through the middle of the corrugated stainless tubing, but is shorter than the stainless tubing. Glycol can run through one tube and back through the other, completing the loop.

• Snakes are outfitted with 1/2in. male NPT threads on both the inlet and outlet.  The inlet is at 90 degrees and the outlet is straight.
• .75 Square Meters of Cooling Surface
• Can also be used for heating

Attach this to a glycol chiller or heater and immerse in a tank for direct heat exchange.

Cool your fermenting must or wine using this weldless, easy-to-install, series 570mm stainless steel cooling plate that can be inserted into the lid of a larger Variable Volume Fermenter. Cold water or glycol is recirculated through the cooling plates thereby reducing the temperature of your ferment.

This is a stainless steel setup, ensuring no chance of off-flavor in your wine. You drill two 1-1/16" to 1-1/8" holes into the lid. We provide two gaskets and a lock nut to seal on both sides of your lid, securing the plate in place.

Use this silicone sleeve to fit a cooling snake into a the existing air lock hole on a Variable Volume Fermenter. Silicone sleeve makes an air tight seal between lid and cooling snake.

Cooling and Heating in one unit!

Every Winemaker can appreciate the benefits of precise temperature control during all stages of production. This mobile unit allows you to easily control your ferment temperatures, heat your tanks during winter to expedite Malo-Lactic fermentation, or cold-stabilize your white wines. This unit can be used as portable unit in a larger winery or as a fixed system supplying a glycol loop in a smaller winery. Unit is used for heating or cooling but cannot supply both at the same time.

Manufactured by Kreyer, the World's leading producers of wine-cooling equipment.

Note: This unit runs off 230V 3 phase power. It will not run off 208V.
