    Stir Plate Woes

    I built a stir plate that works fine with a regular magnet in my erlinmeyer but when I put a stir bar into a wort starter it just gets thrown. I have tried both 1.5" and 2" stir bars. Any ideas on a solution? Larger magnets, slower motor speed? Did anybody else have this problem? Its a great...
