Looking for stir plate

[Mirilis]

I already have one I built and it does a good job but I'm looking for a better looking stir plate that was not made in someone's garage. Heated is a bonus.

FWIW I don't think you can go wrong with a StirStarter plate. Might cost a bit more than a used one from someone on here, but they are quality units.

I have the materials to build a dozen machines, but they would all look like they came from someone's garage (unless I used hammer paint on them... Hmm....)

How big, and what's your budget?

Heck,
Send me one. Garage look is fine.

i think im going to maybe get a maelstrom.. i want to stir 1gallon jug starters and that might be the best one for it.

that being said if anyone has a used maelstrom they want to ship me gimme a price\

Wow! That would be a huge step for me from my build that cost me a total of $7.40.... Something I certainly don't need. YMMV.

I use a gallon jug
I use a PC fan and short stir bar
Works fine
I did have to monkey around buying different disc magnets to find nice strong ones that worked through the thick gallon jug bottom though.

The one i built is fine.. I just rebuilt it with larger magnets and it wasnt as fast as i would have liked.

My understanding is that you don't need a Tornadic Vortex of Doom, just keep things moving

 

[Mirilis]

yeah you really just need to keep it in suspension and exchange the top surface so 02 dissolves faster... LOL i just want more!!!!

I am happy with the dimple mine puts out. I have no doubt you will be happy with any commercial model you decide to buy.
