Excellent for wrapping round and giving that extra heat that is need this time of year with my kombucha
My sourdough starter is bubbling and rising thanks to your heat pad. Best purchase ever.
I got the mat to see if my sourdough levain got better and it did, the quality in improvement of the texture and rise was noticeable. Glad I got it, best thing is that I can have multiple batches brewing for the next step in breadmaking.
I am still waiting for this Heat Mat!!!!!
Hi Elsabe. I had emailed you to let you know that this product is on pre-order and that there has been a delay on this product.
I got the heat mat to help with my yoghurt making as it needed 40 degrees for 5 hours. It worked so well - beautiful thick Skye yoghurt in the fridge after 5 hours on the heat mat. Then I turned it down and put the glass jar with the kombucha on the heat mat to help it with the cool spring temps we have been having - it worked out fantastic. thanks Symbiota.
