Hey guys,
I just got my first stir plate, a used VWR Model 200 Mini-Stirrer, and am wondering what size stir bar to pick up for it. I'll be using a 2L flask, by the way.
I've attached a pic of the rotating magnet with a ruler for scale, it looks to be just under 2.25 inches from end to end. If for some reason the photo below doesn't show up, I've put it up on Twitpic.
Austin Homebrew Supply has 2", as well as a 1", 1 3/16" & 1 3/8" stir bars, and as a first time user I'm a bit confused. I'd appreciate any advice you guys have.
Many thanks!
