Electric heating belt can help to maintain minimum fermenting temperatures in cold rooms or basements.
Fits 5, 6, or 7.5 gallon plastic buckets and 3, 5, and 6 gallon Better Bottles; although the Brew Belt will also fit 3, 5, 6 and 6.5 gallon glass carboys, the manufacturer does not recommend using it with a glass carboy. Recommended use is for up to 8 days of primary fermentation.
The belt works great for what it is meant to do. I do not like how it is fused together at the electrical cord insertion site. There is tension there in order to keep the belt snug on the fermentation vessel and the internal glue is not great. That is how my last belt broke. The electrical wires are super thin and broke with slightly too high of tension since the glue failed. I wish it was more reinforced.

Belt can be damaged easily

Just what I needed
I use the belt with a 2 stage controller in an insulated fermentation chamber. Now I have perfect temp control over my fermention. During early stages of the ferment, I can cool my carboy, and after ferment slows down the heater kicks in automatically. It's made a huge difference in my beer. Easy to use, and now I can go on vacation without worrying about what's happening at home.
