Finally!

After several weeks of tinkering with the design, I got my magnetic stirrer to work! Turns out I was too cheap to pop for a proper magnetic stir rod in the beginning. I was messing about with bits of nails, screws, etc. for stir rods, which would fly off the magnetic point inside the flask. I got a 1 inch true magnetic stir rod and, BAM. Works like a charm.

Anyway, I was wondering: How fast to run the thing? I can get a nice slow roll, or I can get a vortex that makes the tornado in the Wizard of Oz look sick.

Anyone have an opinion or experience with magnetic stirrer speeds and starters?

Thanks as always!

You want it pretty slow just enough to keep the yeast in suspension.
