Once you get it at a stable 70-72 degrees (wort temp not ambient) this thing is really simple.
This is perfect to keep my wort cool while fermenting. It is a lot cheaper than a chiller system. One of the attached photos shows my fermenter inside the jacket.
Well worth the investment and very pleased with the ability to effectively control the temperature. Halogen lights create a lot of heat. It makes retaining heat or cold effortless.
The usable space inside is at least 20 wide and 23 tall. When you're done with it it folds up nice and small and tucks perfectly under the bed.
Cons
The product is advertised as water proof. It is not! Air is not a good conductor of heat/cold! Will be seeking a refund.
