Results Went with the 5L from Stir Starter (will stir 1L-5L) and life time warranty only 2 stores carry it, and the one in MI was not nice on the phone So I got it here http://www.williamsbrewing.com/STIRSTARTER-FOR-3000MM-TO-5000MM-FLASKS-P3137.aspx Go big or go home (don't have the...

Thermo plastic is from NB It's in the sparge kit

What stir plate are you using for 4-5L yeast propagation?

So what stir plate are you all using? For 4L and 5L flasks / containers? I could see using a 4L Pyrex beaker (jar) and just covering with plastic wrap (not sure if you really need to sanitize plastic wrap) I know we did this with samples in the food lab at Madison 20 years ago. Decanting the...

Wondering if you just went with 1/2 Copper and made it a loose sleeve over the tube But I think your issue is the tube being compacted Might have been fatigue on the tube as well I was going to start out with 3/8" ID Thermoplastic Tubing instead of the clear vinyl 3/8 But I do like...

Why not just use a Float sensor Pressure sensor will vary with density (if used with wort) water column with optical would be another way

What do you mean by STEP UP ?

Yes lagers are my focus So I should go with a 5 liter setup? As a 2 liter would be to small? I have a 8 gallon setup (2x10 gallon mash / liquor orange coolers & a 8 gallon megapot)

If you want to move water up to 100F these are very nice, MAG Drives 3 and larger they are pond pumps / aquarium not hugely efficient but reliable...

GEA (Tuchenhagen NA) had a nice line I used a while back with HiFructose Sprinkman in WI is an engineering house and would have some or will point you in the right direction http://www.sprinkman.com/contact-us/ Else Google SS Butterfly I am sure China has some in the US market

So the V2 at Northen is not worth the $90 (AHA Discount) http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/the-vortex-stir-plate.html (or are you talking about the older V1) vs Stirstarts new Large 5L at $80 http://www.williamsbrewing.com/STIRSTARTER-FOR-3000MM-TO-5000MM-FLASKS-P3137C108.aspx...

Point made Next Question Is a stir plate worth the investment? and would you go with 1000ml or a 2000ml flask?

I concur with the Dry Thoughts are use the fill cycle to mix the yeast in. Just wondering of there is a down side to yeast in 1st as we lack agitiation in our fermentors?

Is there any reason not to pitch the yeast into a 6 gallon glass fermentor 1st and then add the wort? Thinking this will mix the yeast into the wort better? Any difference on the above with a smack pack or dry yeast?

hepa filter, aquarium air pump, S.S. Nozzel (just set this up this week) $34 http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/review/product/list/id/931/ if you have an airpump you can just buy parts ala carte I would like to see a pH probe option for the Mash

Small butterflys would be another choice, and butterflys would be more sanitary than ball valves
