    The title pretty much says it all. Does anyone have any good tricks for getting the stir stick out of the yeast starter before dumping it into the primary?

    Have a good size magnet hold it on the outside of the flask/beaker of the starter to hold the bar in place and dump into the fermenter:mug: stir bar stays in place:rockin:

    Magnet. My stirplate came with a tiny magnet, so I'll slide it up to the side and leave it there so I don't accidentally drop it.

    Oh, yeah, I totally forgot about that extra magnet that came with it. I figured it was to replace the tiny one inside the stir plate if it ever went bad. Here's to thinking outside the box.

    Cheers!
