Project #1 - Simple Brew Incubator

In terms of making home made beer, the need for a Simple Brew Incubator is not really that critical; it's more an excuse to have a project to tinker with. But when realized and finished, it will hopefully be a device which will aid me in the process of making many batches of the liquid gold.

My first batches of beer was fermenting in a 30 liter plastic vessel placed directly on the bathroom floor. Ideal really, with the electrical heating under the tiles I could easily adjust the temperature to the desired setting. However, there is a significant WAF in play when using the bathroom for making alcohol and I realized I had to make some other arrangement. Hence the Simple Brew Incubator project.
