StirStarter Magnetic Yeast Starter Plate – $39.99 w/coupon

The Stirstarter Yeast Stir Plate

The Stirstarter Yeast Stir Plate

This unit has two powerful NdFeB button magnets in the 12 VDC stir motor, which is controlled by a precision voltage regulator for easy speed adjustment. The RPMs of the drive motor are limited, so the motor will not “throw” the stir bar, yet it provides enough to get a good vortex going. A low voltage (110v), plug-in wall transformer provides power to the unit. The black plastic case dimensions are 6″ x 4″ x 2″, large enough to accommodate a 2000 mL flask . A Teflon coated 1″ x 5/16″ stir bar is included

(2″ stir bars are too long for this device, while we have had success using the 2″ bar, it will be “thrown” from the magnet when the motor is at high speeds, “why would you turn your stir plate to higher speeds?” you ask. We aren’t sure, but the coffee at McDonald’s is hot whether the word “HOT” is printed on the cup or not)

A “keeper” magnet is also supplied to lock the stir bar in place while the
yeast is pitched, so the stir bar won’t end up in your fermenter!

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.

I’ve used the StirStarter for years and it has worked very well for me.  I can wholeheartedly recommend it to you.  Check out our in depth Hands on Review!

This is selling for $49.99.

Erlenmeyer Flasks on Electric Stovetop? Yeast Starters Using the Double Boiler Method

Yeast Starters on Electric Stovetops Using the Double Boiler Method

It is important for your safety to heat water in the flask with a heat source that distributes heat evenly. Morebeer! recommends using the “double boiler method.” This process involves using a boiling water bath on the outside of the flask to heat up the water inside the flask. All you need is a kettle 3 gallons or larger. This process is much safer and efficient. If the flask should break or boil over, your kettle will be there to collect the contents, thus keeping your stove clean and keeping you safe. – via MoreBeer

  • 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 10?  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.
  • Also Consider: StirStarter Stir Plate – via Valuebrew – includes free shipping to US addresses

  • I use a similar type of 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.
  • These are not waterproof.  Safety Note: Always use caution when handling hot items or ingredients and always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Use for yeast starters to increase cell counts to have better and more vigorous fermentations.

Beakers vs Erlenmeyer Flasks for yeast starters?  Beakers have a few advantages compared to Erlenmeyer flasks. They’re more space efficient, easier to clean and they seem to also generally have a price advantage. Erlenmeyer flasks have the advantage of a small opening that can take a stopper and airlock. An easy solution for beaker is a piece of sanitized foil and a rubber band.
