Does anyone have any ideas for keeping bottles at the right temperature during secondary fermentation in the winter? I do all my brewing in the cellar and maintain temperature for primary fermentation by using a heating belt, but I don't know how store my bottles at a good temperature in the cellar for secondary fermentation. I have to stop brewing altogether waiting for warmer times.

I'm not sure what ready made commercially available solutions are out there, HBO staff may be able to help there.
The other thing is if you can just keep them somewhere in the house, even if your house isn't a constant 18c it'll still be ok. I keep mine in secondary (warm stage) for two weeks in the corner of the dining room hidden behind the table, keeping a keg or 40 bottles stored (I keep them in old plastic milk bottle containers) doesn't take up that much space.
We don't have the heating up that much either.
