This is how i heat my brews. It saves on the power bill.

  flowforms sound like a great idea for aeration in my situation, which is =
a community garden, as it looks a bit sexier :) than a vat.

  though how would you maintain the temperature needed for premium ACT if i=

    The flow forms are aerator units. In the data we have, unfortunately o=
nly replicated one time so not publishable from a scientific point of view,=
 each time the water went through a single flow form, the increase in oxyge=
n in the water was 0.5 mg/L. If you knew the oxygen demand of your prep, y=
ou could then figure out the number of flow forms needed to keep the prep a=
erobic.
