===Tips on Maintaining Heat for Homebrewers===
Keeping the temperature as steady as possible for a pure culture of ''Lactobacillus'' fermentation is not that important. Just try to stay in the range of the temperature best suited for a given species (see the [[Lactobacillus#Culture_Charts|''Lactobacillus'' culture charts]]).
* For metal vessels such as a kettle, keep it on the stove burner and turn the burner on when heat is lost.
* Put the wort in a plastic bucket and seal with lead, then lower that bucket into a ten gallon water cooler and close the lid. Optionally, insulate with blankets.
