Hey all,
So I built a version of the son of fermentation chamber to keep my brews at a consistent temp during the summer. Now that we're into the cooler temps I need to bring the temperature of my fermentation chamber up to keep my yeasties happy. I picked up a reptile heater and wired it into my thermostat and swapped the switch over to heat rather than cool but it hasn't worked so far. I have very little wiring/electrical knowledge so it's a bit over my head. The thermostat I have is this Filtrete model from HD.

The reptile heater I got is:

Any ideas on getting this to work?
