I'd thought about using heated belts, but went for a heated tray, as seen here.
It works well, and is maintenance free.

A fermentation cupboard would be an ideal solution for you, then heat the air in the cupboard....

It wasn't easy getting a tight fit, but once I'd managed to get most of the pipe sitting against the pot, I just used parcel tape to secure it in place. A couple of small coil springs attached to the ends [hooked round the John Guest fittings] stop it from moving. At a pinch, it could be tied with string [as in the photo, during assembly].cqout wrote:how have you fixed the copper tube to the outside?
Finally, wrap in thermal foil, which can be secured with bungees.
