A good laugh for you all. I made my own magnetic stir plate from the DYI link here. It took me a while but it turns on and the fan spins! But I put my flask on it and nothing. So I think why does it not work? Then I do some reading and realize I have no Stir Bar! I had no idea I needed one. My LHBS does not have them so I had to order one. Thought u could all use a good laugh.

FYI, also helps to have liquid in the flask too.

Just in case, when you get to that point.

We all have those "doh!" moments.
 
I couldn't find my stir bar last time so I used a bright 1" wood screw. It made an awful noise but it sure did stir my starter.
 
For my first brew I didn't know you had to crush the grains. So most of us have been there at one time or another.

But yeah, lmao.
