I have installed a lamp socket in the lower part of my ferm fridge in front of the compressor hump, I then use a 100W wide spo bulb in it, connected to a heat controller. Works well, 100W of heating power, very fast response, cheap and incandescents are efficient heat sources I believe. Can heat the fridge to about 28C when it's 6C outside

Is need a fan now :)

re "...Does anyone still use a water bath in the chamber? I'd think that would totally temper any swings. I can't fit two carboys side by side in my freezer anyways but I can fit a water bath in there with a carboy and a blowoff jug..." 9/10 by Two If By Sea

A pic of my small 150L chest freezer with 9L of water and aquarium heater. Fridgemate contoller set to Heat function. Freezer is unplugged. Ambient temperature currently 8C and dropping. The two fermenters pictured remain at constant temperature.

Cheers...
