Well done on the heater! How big is that carboy? I’ve been using a Fast Ferment conical for wine and have been thinking about incorporating an aquarium under gravel heater. My neighbor with the tropical fish store has titanium submersible heaters that would be ideal for stabilizing the primary fermentation.

It's a 6 gallon better bottle.

I've lusted after a Fast Ferment for a while. Does it work as well as claimed?

It works great. Because the lees settle out there's very little left when bottling. We're seeing very close to 30 bottles from the six gallon batches. We do miss the visuals of the glass carboy, especially as the wine clears, but the trace of lees in the last couple bottles is not missed.
