Free stir plate!!

[farrout]

I was in my chemistry lab yesterday and saw all the stir plates the school had and got to thinking. So after class I talked to the prof in charge of inventory and asked if they had any old ones I could have. sure enough he did and gave me it. I'm excited for my latest score and had to brag.

Nice!! Always worth a brag!!

Nice score. I have one that is a combination hot plate / stirrer. It rocks.

Sweet!

... how many other old ones does he have?

He only had one, haha. When I first asked he basically said they didnt have any, but when I told him it was for brewing beer he became interested and found one.

Make sure to bring him a few brews and mention that the stir plate really helped.

Then mention that you are having a problem measuring your mash pH ( you aren't going for pH papers here ). Ask him if there is a piece of equipment that would help....

I got a pH meter that measures to the one thousandth ie 7.000 , it too rocks
