Hey everyone,

I was trying to figure out a way of using a magnetic stirrer inside my fermentation chest freezer without the need of passing a plug through the inner wall.

I used this site to help me figure out the wiring scheme; Onebeer.net :: Homebrew :: Stirplate

Same process as using a 12V wall adapter.
Cost = < 15$
Time = 20 minutes
