If you use an immersion heater....don't bother with expensive brewing ones...

I used one, they're about the £30 mark....until it decided it wasn't going to heat anymore...

So I bought a fish tank one instead for £7.50 delivered.....

Ok, a bit fiddly taking the mains plug of it, so you can thread the mains lead through the bung and then put the plug back on (the brewing ones come with bung already in place)

But for the saving, its worth it.....my brew is now sitting at just over 26C

Sounds like a acident waiting to happen, the fish are going to end up arseold drunk or get electricuted, boiled alive or poached trying.

Nah, they won't remember a thing in the morning...

Knock it down to 18-20. It'll thank you for it.

Agree, the beer will not taste good, brewed at such a high temp.

Its not beer...  And that temp should be fine

Actually, even tho 26 should be ok, ive set it to mid range of the temp recommended, which is 23c
