I purchased a film fermentation heater, stopper thermowell from Northern Brewer Supply and a Johnson Controls "A419" digital refrigeration thermostat from a on-line controls company. I put it together and ran a test on a carboy filled with water and was able to maintain 68 degrees in a 60 degree room for 48 hours without any fluctuation in temperature. Then I brewed an ale extract kit and an have had it in a plastic bucket with the fermentation heater attached for 48 hours and it is maintaining 68 degrees in the same 60 degree room. I am very impressed with how well this setup works on both plastic and glass.
