There are a few downfalls to most heating belts on the market. First, we were hard-pressed to find a heating belt with its own temperature controller, so if you want the most control possible, you’ll need to invest in a temperature controller. Fits fermenting vessels, 25 litre kegs, 1 gallon demijohns (Please note this belt will not fit around a Fast Ferment)

While we feel a little nervous about using this belt style around a glass carboy, this one did well on a standard 5-gallon glass carboy. It also is the only belt we found that had its own temperature controller, but sadly it didn’t work as well as we hoped. If you like to brew in small batches or if you’re also making wine or kombucha at home, this is perfect for smaller fermenters. It fits nicely around a 3.5-gallon fermenter, with a bit of room to spare.One of the things we liked the most about this heating belt is that it fits around larger-size fermenters, so if you’re increasing your brew capacity, this is a nice option. Consistent Temperature Control giving a consistent temperature during the fermentation process is essential to producing high-quality homebrew. The heat belt heater is a simple and effective way to achieve this. However, if you aren’t ready to invest in a fancy, temperature-controlled fermenter or have an extra chest freezer lying around, you’re probably relying on the coolest place in your house for fermentation. The TopBrewing™ heat belt is a revolution in brewing temperature control, with its own temperature control dial you can regulate the heat unlike any other belt on the market. No more moving the belt up and down the demijohn to get the temperature right, just setup the thermometer on the outside of the demijohn and regulate the temperature using the dial. All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible.

The heat belt heater is designed to provide a consistent heat source to the fermenter. It is wrapped around the vessel and plugged into a power source. The heat belt heater will then provide a constant source of heat to maintain the desired temperature.

A little bit more expensive, but from a reliable brewing equipment supplier is the FermoTemp Electric Fermentation Heater from Northern Brewer. We liked that this belt was a little more robust than the FermoWrap, making it feel a little more durable.
