Use this in combination with an Erlenmeyer Flask to make a yeast starter. A stir plate… keeps yeast in constant contact with nutrients, encourages CO2 to off gas and continuously incorporates oxygen all of that means higher cell counts.

Use Heat Resistant Gloves for Minding Yeast Starters & On Brew Day

Pictured: G & F Heat Resistant Oven Glove via Amazon

Part of Our Homebrew Tips and Tricks Series. Check out the complete list – Homebrewing Tips, Tricks & Shortcuts! This is a Top Post! See: All Top Posts

I use a heat resistant oven glove when I’m making yeast starters in an Erlenmeyer Flask. It’s really handy (pun intended) to swirl around the flask or to quickly remove to keep the flask from boiling over.
These are also handy on brew day for handling hot, (but not wet) ball valves and such.
A lot of these types of gloves, including the pictured model and the ones I use are not waterproof. As such, they should not be used with hot liquids.
Some silicone models are available that may offer some water resistance. Generally speaking silicone gloves are going to be less flexible. That may make it harder to pick things up. You’re trading off some water resistance for grip.
Safety Note: Always use caution when handling hot items or ingredients and always read and follow manufacturer directions.

INTLLAB PTFE Magnetic Stir Bars, Assorted Sizes, 7 Count

INTLLAB 7pcs/Pack Mixed Size PTFE Magnetic Stirrer Mixer Stir Bars Type-C

More Info

Use along with a compatible Erlenmeyer Flask and Stir Plate to do Stir Plate Yeast Starters.
Why a Stir Plate? The constant motion of a stir plate integrates oxygen, puts yeast in constant contact with nutrients, relieves built up CO2 and generally helps yeast to grow more rapidly. That also means smaller starters.
Why get 7? Generally, you’re going to save money buying in bulk. Having these on hand allows you to do multiple starters at once and… you’ll have spares if you mistakenly dump your stir bar into your fermenter.

This assorted pack is nice because it allows you to try multiple sizes to see what works best for your setup.

Hands on Review: StirStarter Stir Plate

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Michael Gom. Read more about Michael below.

Hands on Review: The StirStarter Yeast Stir Plate

Why make a yeast starter?

A yeast starter can really help insure you have healthy, viable yeast for your beer especially when using liquid yeast. For this reason I always prefer to build up a starter whenever using a liquid yeast (or re-pitching a saved yeast). I won’t get into effectiveness of different starter methods but a popular choice for homebrewers is to use a stir plate, a magnetic stir-bar and a flask of some sort (erlenmeyer flask in most cases).

Full disclosure, I was sent this product for free to do this review. Though I did try and put it through multiple real-world tests and have given my honest opinion on function and performance.

Announcing: Kegland Wort Whipper Stir Plate

Kegland Wort Whipper Stir Plate via William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The compact Wort Whipper from KegLand is only 1.1″ thick, and 4.75″ wide. Although this unit says it can stir up to 5 liters, we have tested it and found it is only good for up to 2000ml of wort in a 3000ml Erlemeyer Flask. Still, it is an excellent value for $40.00.

This unit has variable speed, and it is best for yeast growth to set the speed as low as possible so the yeast is suspended without it looking like a tornado. A magnetic stir bar is included, although the pictured 3000ml Erlenmeyer Flask is not included.
