→Tips on Maintaining Heat for Homebrewers
* Use a glass carboy FermWrap™ heater or another carboy heater attached to a sensor thermowell through the cap and a temperature controller.
* Use a Brew Belt Fermentation Heating Belt and wrap a "hoody" sweater or some other fabric around it to insulate, and a temperature controller.
* Use an aquarium heater (Enheim brand recommended), fill a large plastic cooler with water and keep the water warm with the aquarium heater. Set the souring vessel in the cooler. See [https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/homebrew-hacks-aquarium-heater-fermentation-controller/ this AHA article].
* Use a "Seedling Heat Mat" that is used to keep plants warm.
* Use an [http://anovaculinary.com/ Anova sous vide device] - place the vessel in a larger vessel with water, and keep the heat applied to the outside water with the Anova. Works well for maintaining heat for starters too.
