    The 1st one has the advantages of it being easier to bottle from, as you just have to attach the bottling wand to the tap on the fermenter and fill the bottles from there, plus you probably won't need the brewbelt that comes with the 2nd one.

    18C is perfect for ale yeasts, youll even get away with something a little cooler, is ur house very cold? I have a brew belt used it on my first brew, which wasnt great and havnt used it since, I wont be using it this winter.

    I could be wrong here but I dont like the idea of them, they get quite hot and that heat is very close to the beer, protected only by the plastic of the bucket, blankets and cardboard is enough in my book.
