Look at Peltier plates, brew belts, heat cable, lightbulb heater and assess suitability

Have you any links that we could read up on this? I'm thinking more on the Brewing side as apposed to how to solve it

@catchmartin Just found this, arduino controlled cooling/heating system for beer fermentation

They're good links, good work! I think the main thing for the fermenter is for it to be well insulated. The brew belts can be found here too: https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/brew-belt-universal-usage-p-81.html

Going with just having relays switch plug sockets for now. One for heating and one for cooling. Currently only using heating system (brew belts) because of cold conditions in Ireland.
