I think I got my heaters and a small fountain pump from ebay or amazon. But I do remember they were cheap. I also remember the beer was good.

I have used a large storage tub full of warm water. I put the carboy in and then used an aquarium heater and a circulating pump to hold ferm temps. I also covered the tub with blankets to help hold temps. This was done in an unheated room in my barn. If my memory serves me correctly, the...
