SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR WARM TO MODERATE CLIMATES


It is a common homebrewers refrain: How can I keep my Kombucha brew warm, especially in Spring, Fall and Winter? Let the brew get too cold and the cycle slows down, reducing the healthy stuff in your brew and even exposing it to a potential mold infestation. Not good! Until now, standard beer heating belts and weakly powered seedling mats were the only choices available. If you're house is cold, they won't help!


The Kombucha Mamma Essential Heating Strip was designed by Kombucha Kamp with the help of a thermodynamics engineer. Designed for WARM TO MODERATE CLIMATES, the state of the art ultra-thin construction & patented heating technology makes for more uniform heat distribution. Wrap around one vessel  or lay behind several vessels to keep them all warm. This is a powerful little mat but is also very safe to use.  I recommend using it on the sides of the vessel rather than underneath so that the yeast isn't over stimulated.


Features:

  • Terminals & electrical connections are sealed using a high performance self fusing sealant
  • Warms the brewer area by 5-10˚F over ambient temperature to maintain the ideal temperature for Kombucha fermentation
  • 4"x28" provides plenty of heating capacity for a variety vessels
  • No heat wires or thick pad, so heat is always dissipated evenly over the whole mat
  • Almost the entire surface of the mat is covered by the heat strips creating an even heat distribution
  • Moisture sealed electrical connections (Do not submerse in water)
  • Ultra-thin Super durable construction (No Multiple Plys, just one solid extra tough mat)
  • Heat Strip & power cord are UL Listed Components
  • 110-120V AC Power
  • Uses 18 watts of power
  • Approximate Dimensions: 7.25" Width x 27.5" Length
  • Assembled in USA and all components made in the USA (except power cord)
  • Comes with 1 Year Hassle Free Guarantee
  • FREE Thermometer Strip included

I took the plunge and purchased the deluxe heater with the dimmer switch. I'm glad I did. I can't imagine using the standard version without any temperature adjustment control. It is also very precise. I have it set at 78 degrees and it stays there all the time.

I also have the heating strip and am so glad I got it. In the past, I worried that my kombucha would be damaged by the cold in the winter. Now with the heating strip I never give a thought to the cold. Wonderful!

Your heater works great, wish I would have spent the extra money and purhcased the one with a thermostat. I had to put cloth between the glass and the membrane to keep from over heating. got up to 95 degress very quickly. On a crock it probably wouldnt have done that. But on a thin glass jar it got suprisingly hot. Quickly!

I have just started brewing Kombucha and realised that I needed a heater. I had read about heating trays, but someone said they weren't reliable and only lasted for 6 months. I bought a small heating strip from this site and I have to say I have now made the most delicious Kombucha. The weather here in England is very cold this time of year and I found that putting some insulation around the strip helped enormously. I am using the continuous brewing method so I need the extra heat around the 9 litre container. In short I have found a method that works even in the coldest weather. The heating strip is very useful too and with my small heating strip and insulation I am well away. I thought that maybe at a later stage I might buy the larger size heating strip and use the small one for brewing smaller batches which I can then use to experiment with different taste. As a Medical Herbalist I appreciate all the special qualities of Kombucha, in particular one which I feel is very important to health and that is keeping our blood pH in the correct range (7.35 - 7.45). If anyone wants to test the efficacy of Kombucha then test your urine's pH while taking KT and when not taking it.
Best wishes - this is one of my favourite sites and 'does what it says on the tin' ie provides a good quality product, service and a place to go for advice.

I noticed during the winter that my kombucha seemed to linger at about 70 degrees and was taking longer than a week to brew. With the essential heater affixed very loosely my brewer now sits at about 78 degrees. If I tighten it goes a good bit higher, but I'm only brewing a little over a gallon at a time. I'm sure it would work very nicely on a larger system as well.

This heater did the job on my Kombucha. I use it for other ferments now too. Nice job.

I ordered the heating strip with my continuous brewer but had no use for it yet as it was still warm. Now that the temp is starting to drop at night I mostly just turn it on when I go to bed and then off in the morning. It keeps the temp perfect. I liked the previous reviewer's idea about a timer. I also like the thermometer that comes with it. I'm in California so I may not need to use the heater all day. This heating strip is perfect for my area!

I ordered this a few weeks after I ordered the CB - should have gotten them at the same time. This heater is great though - very powerful and it comes with a little thermometer so you know if you should turn it off for awhile. I'm thinking about getting a little timer for it and just having it run at night. Nice heater!

Picked this up for my jar set up and it works great. I use it for two jars and wrap it around like in the video and it stays toasty warm. Might have been better off with the other one with a dial but this one gives plenty of heat. Probably going to get another one for the winter.

I bought the heating strip to keep my brew at a consistent temperature and I noticed a difference right away in the time it took to taste right. Thanks Hannah!

Having started my cb in july, in Ga had no need for a strip but ordered one on the off chance I would need it. Having said that I noticed when the temp outside dropped to the 70's and 60's my brew seemed to slow done and almost stop maturing, was just to sweet. Remember I had the strip wrapped it around my container and it warmed right up and began producing again. Great strip, easy to use and really does the job. Worth while investment, get it you just might need it.

I am so happy with this heater! We live in Cleveland and the climate isn't exactly 65-82 degrees year round! We were having some problems with mold growing and Hannah suggested it might be because it's not being kept warm enough. Using the heater, we've been able to brew the happiest, most potent kombucha yet! Thanks Kombucha Mamma!!
