I bought a reptile heating cord on amazon and ran it from the center rear to the floor then wrapped it around the bottom border. It is attached the the heating outlet on my dual temperature controller. Works great so far. Raises temps slowly and is resistant to moisture.

I built a temp controller with a heat and cool function, then plug a reptile ceramic heating light into the heat outlet. Worked really well when my chest freezer was outside. Now that it is inside I do not really have a use for it.

I bought a reptile ceramic heating light too, along with a little fan. The ferm wrap heaters seem nice, but I have several batches fermenting often and don't want to have to spend $100+ for heaters.
One draw back I've seen with the ceramic heater is the air temp inside my fermentation fridge gets up over 100°F sometimes if I have the temp probe from my controller in a thermowell. The beer temp doesn't vary much, it stays well within range, but it just seems like a bad idea to have the air temp that high.

Use a fermwrap coupled with a temperature controller
I've got the temperature control. And I was looking at a fermwrap, but I didn't know if the probe on my thermometer was waterproof so I was thinking I would tape it to the side of the carboy. Turns out it is so I may look into that.

I bottled up my small batch NEIPA. Color looks good, the smell is great, the hydrometer sample I tasted was definitely different than a normal IPA. The oats certainly make a difference. I can imagine when it's carbed up it'll be pretty good, we'll see

Good job. My NE IPA is drinkijg nicely right now.

Looks great! Would love to trade bottles if you're able to bottle from your keg. That offer stands with anyone (as unappealing as that sounds 
)
