I can't get my stir plate to work, always throws the bars.
I have two rare earth magnets, polarity opposite mounted to the fan. I have three sizes of bars, from 1/2 inch to 1 1/4 inch. I use a oring on the bars to help with spinning.
I have a 2 liter flask and am planning on making a 2 liter starter. I brew ten gallons so will divide between two fermenters.
I can make the bars spin slow. so slow the flask barely has a dent in the surface of the liquid. The middle size bar works the best, the smallest and largest don't work at all.
If I put any of the bars on the stirplate without the flask, they will spin at full speed with no problem.
I saw a thread about starbust stirbars, but didn't see a link.
Any help?
