Re: Heat mats for warming CO

[Guest guest]

Lyn,

I would recommend looking into reptile heat mats. there are thermostat

controlled ones and low wattage ones. I've seen down to 4 watts constant on.

The reptile mats are designed to be gentile.

Oh, you are talking about brewing kombucha? You can sign up for the Original

Kombucha group for a bountiful resource.

thehappyherbalist.comprovides a heat mat with thermostat control I

highly recommend. you can keep

your kombucha anywhere from 75-80 degrees with good results. 79 is the

standard suggestion many find better results just within the range a couple

degrees below. If you ever have doubt about your kombucha. Just let it be

for about a month and try again. Kombucha requires some time to " recharge "

between batches sometimes.

Cheers,

Thank you for your reply. I just wonder if the reptile mats could take heavy

jugs sitting on them. I never heard of these, so I would have to check that out.

That website you gave, www.thehappyherbalist.com is not a good url. I tried it

with net, and org and still no good.

Ask to see my tattoo of a rose, but don't ask outside. I'm constantly
