Magnetic Stir Plates
« on: April 08, 2008, 03:51:56 PM »

An FYI:
As I'm typing away, my stir plate is workin' hard for the money on a 2L pitch of White Labs Belgian Ale yeast. It's pretty nice not to be obsessive about shaking that jug every five minutes. I'm looking forward to tasting the subtle (or not so?) differences in a properly pitched amount of super-strong yeasties.
If anyone wants the low-down on the easiest route to go when making a stir plate, just give me a holler.
 Cool
I'd post pictures by my Mac is feisty.

Greg's stir plate is super cool.  Mine followed the same basic design, but it is not as fancy.  I use it every time and love it though.  If anyone wants to see it, I can bring it into another meeting.  Happy yeast = great beer.

When I saw his stir plate, the first thought I had was "Man, we have McGyver in our brew club!"

Lets get that man some duck tape and see what he can do!
