Although I've yet to brew a batch, my engineering instincts have kicked in (and my sub-zero computer cooling experience ) and I have plans in my head for a pretty solid temperature stabilizer designed to keep a fermenter (be it conical or carboy) at a very specific temperature. The interesting thing is that I think I could design it to both heat and cool, so that the owner could simply set it, turn it on, and forget about it.
Do you guys think that there may be a niche market for this, given that I think I could put them out for well under $200?
Being an inexperienced brewer, though, I lack once crucial piece of info: how much heat does fermenting beer create per gallon? With that I can zero in much closer on production costs.
Thanks in advance!
