It's just a little 25 watt heating pad. I have the buckets on the bottom shelf of the fridge, and the heating pad under that, where the bins for veggies would normally be. If I didn't have that space, I'd probably tape it to the wall of the fridge or maybe the inside of the door. I think the specs claim it can keep the fridge about 20 degrees above ambient. I had one in a fridge in my detached garage, and it was able to keep the fridge at least 45-50 even when it was 0 outside and really really cold in the garage. So I think it would work for all manner of Belgians. Thanks for reading, and for commenting! I use one “made for brewing“. It’s just a little 25 watt heating pad.

Hmmm . . . have to try that. I had been using a food dehydrator bottom, but this sounds better, as it's less likely to warp the interior of the fridge. I assume that you just put it under the carboy? How hot can you get -- can you make it to mid-70s for Saisons? Heating pad? Hmmm . . . have to try that.
