Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Not that this is creative, but it works. I bought the kombucha heat pad from the " Happy herbalist.com " . A bit pricey but its good, pretty much worry free. I just check the temp of the brew once a day to make sure the thermostat is working properly. I have a 2.5 ceramic brew container on my shelf with my herbs in the window. Be careful with old wood as it is dry and could catch on fire. I make my fermented veggies in a cooler or unplugged crog wich, if stuff with cloth, newspaper, etc. will keep at 70 deg. f. Thats enough for your k-tea. Some folks believe that a low temp, slow brew actually produces better acids and bacteria. Bet of luck! > > In the winter, I keep my house thermostat down, esp @ night in effort to conserve heating fuel. Would love to hear what you all have come up with to deal with lower winter house temps in your own houses. Heating pads, large crock pots? I have a roll of Reflectix: could I line a box or cooler or rubbermaid tote with it and put a light bulb in? Am looking at the antique wooden icebox that I inherited from my grandmother & wondering if I should stop using it for dish storage and convert it with some kind of light heating device? My crock is 2.5 gal so cupboard above fridge is not an option...too heavy for me to lift anymore. What creative things have y'all come up with? > Carol K > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
