This is a new
section & so the “ratings” are liable to change until we
finally decide on a system we are both happy with. But, for the present, here
are the price ratings:-
£= £3 or less, ££ = £3-6, £££ = £6-9, ££££ = £9-12 & £££££ = £12 or more.
For the other ratings assume * to be the worst possible rating, *** to be
average/O. K. & ***** to be excellent.

(SB 2008) Overall **** Comments:- I use one of these for wine brewing and have been very pleased with it. I avoided a brewing belt as I felt this was not thermostatic therefore if your day and nigh temperature fluctuates so does the temperature of the brew. Having read the above review on heating belts maybe they are not so bad. I use my Immersion heater for both demi-johns and for my brew bucket. I did have to cut a specific hole in the lid for it. I rate this overall 4 out of five. It would be 5 out of five except they are very expensive. |
