Huge Stir Plate -Aerate 6 Gallon Batch??

Not if you dont have a pump it isn't.

A pump costs the same whether I have one or not.

Yeah, if you have one of these but not a pump, I get it, but at risk of overexplaining, I was confused why someone would covet this device to use with their IC when they could covet a much cheaper device. It's all good. I lean toward the arcane.

Holy zombie thread, batman.

My post you quoted was from a long time ago, and I have since purchased pumps to transfer liquids on my single tier stand, I use one of the pumps to recirc the BK during chilling. I also have a dedicated stir plate, so I have no interest in this device anymore (other than that it’s still pretty cool!)

At the time I was thinking this would be nice to have since I had no intentions of buying pumps. Would have been a multi-tasker if used for starters, during chill, and then possibly during active fermentation as others had described.

With the brewing knowledge I have gained in the past 3+ years I certainly wouldn’t “covet” this thing. If I got it for free or dirt cheap I’d probably figure out a way to use it in the process though!

So what if it was from a long time ago?
It's still an interesting idea in my opinion so sue me for running across it I guess

My lawyer will be contacting yours!

JK, and I didnt mean to come off rudely, was just surprised this popped back up.

I actually thought it was a cool idea then and still do but I wouldnt be spending any large amounts of money on something like this, as I think its excessive for yeast starters and there are better alternatives for chilling wort.

If I came across this in a yard sale or flea market I would definitely be taking a close look at it and seeing what I can use it for in brewing. But I do that with just about every doo-hicky I see anywhere!

Cheers! To open minds and closed fermenters!

Lol, I don't have a lawyer so I guess I'm screwed, will you take a homebrew to drop the case?

Don't be surprised that it popped back up, search is a heck of a tool when your on the can.

My though was since I have an industrial stir plate maybe pump air through stone into the carboy while spinning for say 10 min or so, cut off air while continuing the spin, after 10 min or so turn air back on for another 10 or so? Maybe pointless and silly.
