I may try to build a stir plate from a pc fan. direction online and looks easy. now the question is what size flask should I have for the starter? anybody build a stir plate from a pc fan?:rockin:
Very cool project.
How does the computer fan make your stir bar go around ? Do you attach another magnet to the blades of the fan?
Where do u get 1" stir bars ? This looks like a very easy project, and I have access to many computer fans ..
There are several threads about doing this, but here's the one I did (using a 120mm pc fan):

Oh, and as for flask size, I just use a 1 gal. growler (for a 2 quart starter). Somebody on here even uses a flower vase for starters (i forget who).
good luck with the project!
