Hello,
I have a 7.1 cu ft chest freezer that I keep in my basement. I live in Wisconsin and it is about 65 degrees down there so I take it during the winter its probably going to drop to about 55 or so.
I want to continue to brew ales and was looking for something to use with my Johnson Controls temp controller.
I use BB carboys and I was thinking about keeping them in the freezer and using one of these methods:
Brew Belt:

Brewers Edge:

Ferm Wrap:

I was leaning toward the Brewers Edge space heater as I was thinking about using it on 2 at one time by just sticking it to the wall of the chest freezer. I was going to get some Damp Rid so the chest freezer doesn't condensate too much to make it dangerous.
What does everyone think? I know the whole light bulb, and aquarium heater thing, but I think I have narrowed it down to these 3 unless anyone has a valid reason these wont work.
Thanks!
