After seeing some of the posts about making a stirplate to aid in starter production, I scoured my stash to see what I had and came up with this stirplate that uses a LM317 voltage regulator for varing the speed. I figured since I was going to be doing yeast starters now and I had about 95% of the stuff I'd throw one together..... works really well if I do say so myself.
Here are some pics.

I have a 2 inch and a 1 3/8 inch stirbar. The 2 inch get thrown a lot. So I think I'll use the smaller one.... will let everyone know how it works in action next week!

Definitely a summer project for me. You guys are making it much easier for me to figure it out!
If you add a parts list to this--it is a definite FAQ article.

If there is any interest I can try to throw something together that has parts etc. But from the response here, it doesn't seem like there is much interest.
