- the start-up of the heating base can be controlled according to the temperature measured by a thermostat or a temperature sensor associated with the fermentation tank.
- the device may for this purpose comprise a temperature probe immersed in the fermentation tank, for example fixed to the lid thereof, with a wireless connection if necessary.
- the device may comprise a temperature probe outside the fermentation tank, for example fixed to a base of the device, on which the tank is placed, and which can measure the outside temperature, with a wireless connection the case. applicable.
- the first temperature level may be in the range of 20 to 25 ° C, more preferably 21 to 24 ° C, for example in the range of 22 to 23 ° C.
- the temperature of the fermentation tank can be maintained in use at a range of 20 to 25 ° C, more preferably 21 to 24 ° C, for example 22 to 23 ° C, being example of the order of 23 ° C.
- the device may further comprise a timer, for controlling the start of the heating of the fermentation tank for a predetermined time.
