Kombucha Heating Wrap - Adjustable Kombucha Starter Kit Warmer Mat with Digital Temperature Control, 1 Gallon Vessel Fermentation Heating Pad for Kombucha Tea Gifts Brew Seed Germination

Set it and forget it. Very friendly user interface

Got this to use for brewing batches of kombucha and beer; but found that it also works well as seed warming pad for germinating and starting seedlings. And it can also be used to keep your brewing, sourdough, or other bread starters at the ideal temperature.The controls are easy to use, the target temp is very easy to set. The first time I plugged this in and just let it set for a while on a padded surface, the temps seemed somewhat uneven across the surface; but after an hour or two the temps evened out, and during later uses the temps were even after a few minutes. I suspect that there are some startup fluctuations that average out once you get close to the target temp. The controller appears to hold the desired temp to within a degree or two which is acceptable.The hook-and-loop strap that is attached to the pad makes it extremely easy to wrap around a brewing jar or crock, and move it up or down as brewing levels change. The included stick-on thermometer is accurate enough but I found the color change with temperature to be somewhat dim and hard to read in low light. But since the controller is watching over the temp, the stick on temp indicator is not really needed.

If you brew booch and struggle with slooowww fermentation in the cooler seasons like I do, this is a really nice item to have.I tested it out first in a large jar of water for a day and a half, and used an instant read thermometer to see how close it was to the temp set on the thermostat - very reliable, every time I checked it.Set up couldn't be much easier, you wrap it around your fermentation vessel, it has a velcro strap attached. There is a temperature probe you sandwich in between the heating mat and your vessel. Plug in, verify the temperature you want on the thermostat, done. It does also come with a thermometer strip, I haven't bothered to use it yet.This is basically a seedling heat mat, but sized and re-designed to work for a jar. Of course you can use it for other ferments etc. as well (or seed starting, but it's smaller than a standard 1020 seed tray mat).This is a nice mat, of course you can get along without one, but it really makes it easy to keep a ferment-friendly temperature year round, for a more consistent brew. Very happy to have it and recommend it!

The product sent to me includes a timer. The maximum time it can be set for is 12 hours. After which the unit switched itself off. There doesn’t appear to be a way to operate this unit without using the time, so it’s not a ‘set and forget’ and means I have to reset it twice a day. Very tedious.I did notice the unit I was sent is orange and not green as per the photos so I will investigate to see if I they sent me the wrong one.
