Getting stir stick out of yeast starter

[pingeyeg]

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 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!
