SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR MODERATE TO COLD CLIMATES


 

UPDATE - We are already improving up this product based on feedback. Instead of being a double strip, it is now constructed of a single piece but is the same width. The material used for this specific Heating System is surplus from a special order and was indeed MADE IN THE USA!! 

 

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!

 

As a long time brewer, I was frustrated. Even in Southern California, it gets cold at night and in the Winter. Some of my Continuous Brewers are near the back door and can catch a draft. Seedling mats offer very little power and are run through with wires. There had to be a better way. So I went out and found it!

 

The Kombucha Mamma Year Round Heating System w/Dimmer was designed by Kombucha Kamp with the help of a thermodynamics engineer. Designed for MODERATE TO COLD CLIMATES, Utilizing brand new technology perfected and patented only recently, this heating system is not only the perfect size to fit our Continuous Brewers but will keep your brew at the optimum temperature you desire all year long. Plus you can use this heating system with a gallon jar or almost any sized vessel too. No wires so it's perfectly safe with glass! The only heating mat on the market specifically designed for Kombucha, COMPLETE WITH A DIMMER!

 

Its ultra-thin construction & patented heating technology makes for a more uniform heat distribution which helps to maintain the ideal temperature for Kombucha fermentation.  Plus, the dimmer makes temperature control super easy.  Simply turn it up when more heat is needed and decrease when the weather gets warms.  Finally, you'll be in control of your ferment cycle all year round.

 

FEATURES

  • Warms the brewer area by 10-20˚F over ambient temperature to maintain the ideal temperature for Kombucha fermentation
  • 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)
  • Power cord with Dimmer with OFF and fully variable power let's you adjust your heating needs.  In the dead of winter you may need more heat than in the cool of Spring or Autumn.
  • Ultra-thin Super durable construction (No Multiple Plys, just one solid extra tough mat)
  • Heat Strip, power cord, & dimmer are all UL Listed Components
  • 110-120V AC Power
  • Uses 25-30 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) which means your friends and neighbors have a job!
  • Comes with 1 Year Hassle Free Guarantee!
  • FREE Thermometer Strip included

Maybe the Essential Heating Strip?

Definitely worth the money! I live in a damp environment (Pacific Northwest and also spend a lot of time in Yellowstone, which as very tempermental weather), so without a doubt this heating strip was worth the big bucks I spent for it! Just started using it and it already has my Kombucha at the exact temp I need it at! I love the temp strip that comes with it, so you know exacly what temp you have your KT and if you need to adjust the dimmer. Dont settle for cheaper versions of this in any sort of way. You get what you pay for, and I cant wait to see how this improves my KT! Thanks Hannah!

Love the heater strip. We keep our house cold. The dimmer is essential since my house temperature fluctuates when we are not home and at night. Careful though. The dimmer has a big change for a small move of the dial.

The heating strip is an essential part of my kombucha continuous brewing system. The bacteria are kept at the perfect temperature for their mischief. Here in New England, cold temperatures would slow the growth process. With this heating strip, designed perfectly for the CB system, I have a gallon of fresh KT every 3-5 days.

Great Investment! 

I'm so happy that I found The Kombucha Mamma Year Round Heating Strip with Dimmer before wasting my money on any other heating pad. Easy to operate, this handy gadget will pay for itself in no time, with perfect brews of KT every time-- even for a newbie in the middle of a Canadian winter!

Loved finding Hannah / Kombucha Mama/ Kombucha Kamp on You Tube.. Watched quite a few of her simple demonstrations--  her demonstrations are simple and empowering!  

Thanks Hannah

Spending a bit more for the heater with the thermostat is definitely the way to go for our area which gets cold in the winter. The thermostat is sensitive and keeps my KT at just the right temperature. It give me the freedom to be gone for a few days and know that the KT is still the perfect temperature even though the house is cooler while we're gone. This was a great idea Hannah!Thanks.

I really like this heater. I'm just starting my first time ever brewing kombucha and chose it for its versatility and convenience, and I think this heater and all of Hannah's information is helping me get set up right. Compared to the seedling mats, etc, this is a much nicer set-up. I emailed Hannah to ask about guarantee or warranty and while she said it does not have one, she said it should last a long time and I felt confidence in her sincere customer service.

Hannah's heat mat with the dimmer switch is THE BOMB! It works great! I don't have to worry about my kombucha brewing in my cool environment. It works like a charm! Hannah's customer service is first rate too! When I got the dimmer switch there were a few wires exposed and she quickly replaced it. Thanks for all you do, Hannah!

I LOVE IT!!! I live in a basement, so temperature is a real problem. I tried a heating pad but the only way to control it is constantly turning it off and on. Hannah's Year-Round heating system is PERFECT! Now its always the right temperature! Well worth the expense. Thank you Kombucha Mama!

Have had this heating strip with dimmer for two weeks. Very pleased with it already!
I just started brewing Kombucha and knew immediately that I’d need a heat source to make it work in Canadian winters. This system made the most sense after researching my options – especially having the dimmer switch.
I wish I had read the review above regarding the thermometer. I went out and purchased and applied a thermometer just a few days before my heat strip arrived. I didn’t realize that one would be shipped with the heater.

My only ‘thing’ is that it’s not all that attractive. (I don’t mind having the ceramic brewer sitting out on the counter, but the heater with the cord isn’t very pretty.)
Also, it’s a little more expensive than I’d like (plus I paid for shipping to Canada) but I’m hoping to see health benefits with my kombucha and you can’t put a price on that.

Overall a great product and does what it says! Thanks Hannah!

I would also strongly recommend the Year Round Heating System with Dimmer. It is a must if you want to get the most out of your Kombucha & maximize the brewing process. I have been batch brewing previously & I almost immediately noticed the difference in the look, growth & health of my SCOBY as soon as I was able to bring my brew to the correct temperature. The Heating System is very flexible & thin but extremely effective!

This heating strip is a Life Saver!!!! My apartment has been really cold for a month now and if it wasn't for the heating strip my Kombucha would have taken forever to frement. It just speeds up the process. The heating strip is worth the money and it's only a one time buy. It's a really good investment. You can easily adjust the heat that you want. Hannah is a genius for inventing this heating strip! Thank you Hannah!

I LOVE this strip. It saved my Kombucha. We live in the high desert of Eastern Oregon and it gets darn cold here. It has been in the teens at night for over a week here already and it is not even winter yet. I had my continuous brew on a Kombucha heating plate. It has not adjustment and it was getting too warm. I got this new Heating System with dimmer and I can control the amount of heat my brewer gets. No more cooking my brew! I still have plenty of room on the adjustment to raise the heat when it gets really cold.This is a great design, thin, flexible, and it has a nice long cord. Ty Kombucha Momma for this great heater.

I have tried cheaper methods (like a reptile heating cord) and none work as evenly and easily as the heating with dimming for the cb system. I am switching all of mine out with this one to keep the temp stable

summer no problem; but winter in the midwest that brewer needs a heat tape and this is the way to go! I tried a heating pad and it just did not do the job. The SCOBY need a continuous temp to be safe and the heat tape does that.

This heater works great. Actually it works too great if you're not careful which I learned the first day. It will heat the crock up quickly and get too hot if you don't watch it. Used the thermometer to get it right. Nice heater.

I love the heating strip, very useful, and I would definitely recommend it!! One thing I noticed is that the dimmer dial didn't come with any kind of marking to indicate at which heat level it was. I can mark it myself, but for a beginner, you have to experiment with it for hours to figure out a good setting for your KT. (Hey Austin - thanks for the feedback, we have improved the directions for new brewers! :))

I live in New York and we had a very cold winter this year and it gets pretty cold in my apartment and very hot in summer. The great thing about the year round heating system is that you can adjust the amount of heat. the only problem is that you don't know the temperature of the kombucha. Get yourself an Aquarium Fish Tank Thermometer with Adhesive Back. place in front of your brewer (outside) and there you go - best system ever!

~~~Reply from Kombucha Kamp ~ "Hey Erminio, that's exactly what we've done. Now every Year Round Heating System comes with a thermometer. Thanks for the feedback! :)"
