Why is it that I can't find any info on fermentors with some kind of stirring device built in? It would seem sensible to keep the yeast suspended and to keep the mixture homogeneous. It would allow for better temperature control as well. People speak of healthy yeastcakes but yeast is a single celled organism so it sounds sensible that they would compete with eachother when they are too close together.
I got this idea while using a magnetic stirrer in my university's laboratory a few days ago, there are also stirrers that are just rotors that can be lowered into the reaction mixture.
