The Better Brew Heat Belt wraps around your fermenter to keep your beer or wine at a steady fermenting temperature. It's a simple fix for brewing in a cold garage, kitchen or spare room over the colder months.

Key features

Electric heating belt that sits around the outside of the fermenter
UK version, made for a UK mains socket
Adjust the heat by moving the belt: lower down for more warmth, higher up for less
Gentle, even heat for beer kits, wine kits and cider

Why temperature matters

Better Brew beer kits, for example, want a steady 20-25°C. If it's too cold, yeast slows down or stops, leaving a sweet, unfinished brew. A belt keeps things moving without having to heat the whole room.

How to use

Fasten the belt around the fermenter, plug in and check the temperature after a few hours with a stick-on thermometer. Move the belt up or down to fine-tune.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I control the temperature?

Move the belt lower on the fermenter to give more heat, or higher up to give less. Keep an eye on a thermometer for the first day or two.

Can I use it for wine and cider?

Yes, it helps keep any fermentation warm, whether beer, wine or cider.

Belt or heat pad - which should I choose?

A belt wraps around the fermenter, while a pad sits underneath it. Both do the same job, so choose whichever suits your space.
