Has anyone ever tried this or though about it??
In cold weather It is hard for me to keep the Tem. up to 70 or so with out
heating the house to 70.
I have not tried this but wondering if anyone has.
Take a aquarium or a ice chest put enough water in it so it does not go
over the lid of your Mr. Beer or what ever you might be using. And put a
aquarium heater in the water.
set it to 70 or what temp. you want. And it will keep your beer at a
constant Temp.
So what do you think???

Just put the heater in the beer :)

Use a proportional thermostat and it won't even locally overheat.

Yes I have done that and will do it again. I use an aquarium heater in a
Rubbermaid container full of water holding a carboy.
I cover the top the best I can to minimize heat flow.
I have a Mr. Beer but it sits on a shelf now.
