Description Heating belts are preferable to heating pads for the reasons that they can simply be moved up or down the fermenter to increase or decrease the heat transfer to the brew Heating belts are also preferable to heating pads because pads tend to heat up the yeast bed on the bottom of the fermenter which can produce some undesirable flavours in your forbeer Please be advised that the heating belt is only 35 watt power and it will normally warm the fermeter in the cold weather and keep the wort in a desirable temperature However based on the fact that different fermentation temperature range for different fermentation you need to check the temperature sticker regularly to make sure it is correct for the fermentation you may need to raise or lower the heating belt To achieve the best result and maintain the temperature accurately It is recommended to use a temperature controller with the heating belt 1 The Heat Belt can be used to aid fermentation with one or two demijohns or any make of 5 Gallon 25 Litre vessel and is suitable for both forbeer spirits and Forwine making 2 The Heat Belt is designed to be used during primary fermentation and to aid the start of secondary fermentation 3 One of the main benefits of using a Brew Belt is the reduced time it takes to complete the brewing process of your forbeer and Forwine 4 Tighten belt around brewing barrel fermenter Alter the heat belts position to adjust temperature lowing the belt will increase the temperature
