Just won the bidding on a Fisher Scientific stirplate - $35 shipped to me. I'm excited to see how this will affect the quality of my beers. Next stop will be some sort of fermentation chamber.
Man I wish i always took the time to make great starters. When I first started brewing I thought I was soo cool making 400ml and 600ml starters for 1.060 and 1.070 beers. Severely underpitching wont be done by me any longer.
