Greetings beer fans and members. Rick here with a question about
magnetic stirrers. I picked up (hasn't arrived yet) what appears to be
a decent used unit on an E-bay auction and need some advise about
operation and appropriate stirring devices. The device is a 9 inch Cole
Palmer with a heating style top. I have a 2 liter Erlenmeyer flask and
hope to supercharge my next yeast colony. What type of stirring device
do I need? Where do I get one? Should I have some spares? How long or
fast do I stir the mixture? Is the top heating surface appropriate for
boiling a flask of wort?
Thanks
Rick Oftel
