TopBrewing™ Heat Belt Pro with Variable Adjustable

We've chosen to go belts over pads for the simplicity of adjusting the height of the belt on your fermenter to increase or decrease the heat transfer. With a pad, you're unable to do this, and may potentially cook your yeast turning your hard work into a giant bandaid. The Better Brew heat belt is designed to be used during primary fermentation and to aid the start of secondary fermentation. Help keep your brew at a constant temperature and not get too cold. Limitations - The immersion heater MUST NOT touch the sides of the vessel. The thermostat can be set to various temperatures, but it can only heat the liquid by so much, if used in very cold conditions it will struggle, so insulating the vessel may be needed. As with all heating devices it is important to regularly monitor the temperature of your brew. This Better Brew heater belt is suitable for 1 gallon demijohns to 33 litre fermenters. You can adjust the size by either the toggle or by the Velcro lining.

Consistent Temperature Control giving a consistent temperature during the fermentation process is essential to producing high-quality homebrew. The heat belt heater is a simple and effective way to achieve this.

There are a few downfalls to most heating belts on the market. First, we were hard-pressed to find a heating belt with its own temperature controller, so if you want the most control possible, you’ll need to invest in a temperature controller. The heat can be regulated by moving the Brew Belt higher or lower on the vessel. If it needs to be warmer lower the belt, if it is getting too warm, slide it up the outside of the vessel. The TopBrewing™ heat belt is a revolution in brewing temperature control, with its own temperature control dial you can regulate the heat unlike any other belt on the market. No more moving the belt up and down the demijohn to get the temperature right, just setup the thermometer on the outside of the demijohn and regulate the temperature using the dial. The wider width of this heating belt again provided more consistent heating throughout the fermenter. Our favorite part of this heating belt is that it was powerful enough to use stainless steel fermenters.

All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible. If you like to brew in small batches or if you’re also making wine or kombucha at home, this is perfect for smaller fermenters. It fits nicely around a 3.5-gallon fermenter, with a bit of room to spare. Heater trays can also be used to stand a barrel or bottles on to keep the temperature up for the first few days of secondary fermentation, a 25 litre tray holds around 20 x 500ml PET plastic bottles at once. Suitable for use with 23 Litre & 33 Litre Fermenting vessels and 5 gallon kegs and smaller with a flat base

Suitable particularly for glass demijohns and can be used in larger fermenting vessels such as our 25L vessel but is a little awkward to get the cable in/out. Please note that if an airtight fit is required with a fermenting vessel, a suitable hole for the bored 1 gallon bung would need to be drilled. One of the main benefits of using the TopBrewing™ heat belt is the reduced time it takes to complete the brewing process of your beer and wine. While we feel a little nervous about using this belt style around a glass carboy, this one did well on a standard 5-gallon glass carboy. It also is the only belt we found that had its own temperature controller, but sadly it didn’t work as well as we hoped. If you aren’t convinced that you need a heating belt and don’t want to spend much on trying one out, we think you’ll like the Varadyle Homebrew Belt. This is a very basic heating belt but does a good job.
