Maelstrom Stir Plate – Industrial Grade, 5 Gallon Capable! – $127.99, Save 20%

maelstrom stir plate

Maelstrom Stir Plate

The first industrial-grade programmable magnetic stir plate designed specifically for yeast starters.

Breed a Herculean army of yeast for brewing bigger beers than ever before. Powerful rare earth magnets churn through any size starter and never throw a stir bar. Five-speed control adapts to sizes from minute to mammoth, for yeast starters in a 1000ml Erlenmeyer flask, all the way up to a 5-gallon carboy.

Command a massive yeast starter while you’re at work or over the weekend. Let it run indefinitely, or program up to 48 hours of stir time. Schedule it to settle out yeast just in time to come home and brew.

Watch Maelstrom® surge through starter wort creating a vortex like no other. The transparent body shows the magnets whipping through rotation. Plus, the seamless surface makes for easy cleaning.

Easy to use with an intuitive interface, the Maelstrom® sets the new standard as the most powerful and versatile homebrewing stir plate ever created for the home brewer.

Features:

  • Stir Bar Removal Tool
  • Includes a 50mm stir bar
  • Five distinct speeds, from 480-1440 RPM, to accommodate yeast starters up to 5 gallons
  • Scheduling function for up to 48 hours
  • Seamless surface for easy cleaning & maintenance
  • Powerful magnets will never throw a stir bar
  • Translucent body lets you watch the magnets in rotation
  • Standard 12V Power Adapter
  • Large 8″ W & x 8 ½” L stirring platform

 

Why a Stir Plate? The constant motion of a stir plate integrates oxygen, puts yeast in constant contact with nutrients, relieves built up CO2 and generally helps yeast to grow more rapidly.  That also means smaller starters.

PET Soda Bottle Preforms and Caps – for yeast slurry storage and more – from $1.40 each at Valuebrew

baby soda bottles

Soda Bottle Preforms and Caps

These tubes are made from PET and are what are used to make PET bottles.   These are similar to what White Labs used to use for selling and distributing homebrew yeast pitches.

Possible homebrew uses include storing yeast slurry and general small parts storage.

I recommend replacing keg o-rings using daylight savings as a reminder. If you’re already placing an order for food grade o-rings these test tubes are a great add on.

As of this posting these are on sale from $1.39 each (when you buy 10)

Bootleg Biology Czech Unpasteurized Lager Yeast – Beta LIMITED Release – on sale for $9.98

Bootleg Biology

We hand-selected 12 of their strains to showcase the diversity of what they offer. These were propagated special for our first order to make sure you receive the freshest yeast possible. From crispy lagers and juicy IPAs to complex mixed fermentations, Bootleg has a culture for every brew. Using Bootleg cultures ensures your beer stands out while still delivering familiar, predictable results.


Bootleg Biology Yeast!

The sale includes a 23% discount on Bootleg Biology BBCUL Czech Unpasteurized Lager Yeast – Beta Limited Release

Czech Unpasteurized Lager was sourced from an unpasteurized Czech Lager beer that produces a unique, malty sweet Pils aroma, a medium mouthfeel, a subtle bite with low diacetyl production, and a short primary fermentation. Who doesn’t love a malty, slightly hoppy traditional Czech lager? The common commercially available strains sourced from the “original” brewery often lack a certain richness found in the classic beer.

Ferment at traditional lager ferm temperatures 50F-55F (10C-13C) for 2-6 weeks with a diacetyl rest before crashing or additional lagering.

BBCUL Czech Unpasteurized Lager Yeast Description:

  • Flavor/Aroma: Bready, sweet Pilsner aroma, low diacetyl
  • Fermentation Temp: 50 – 55°F
  • Attenuation: 77 – 83%
  • Flocculation: Low to Medium
  • Final pH: 4.3 – 4.5
  • Source: An unpasteurized and freshly made batch of the original Czech Lager beer

This culture is part of Bootleg’s BETA program. They have done limited testing and are not ready to officially release this culture. So let us know what you think! If it’s awesome…or you hate it..leave a comment on the product page. If you like it, we might rerelease this Bootleg BETA culture officially.

From crispy lagers and juicy IPAs to complex mixed fermentations, Bootleg Biology has a culture for every brew.

Gas Flowmeter, LZQ-7 Flowmeter 2-20LPM Flow Meter with Control Valve for Oxygen Air Gas

More Info
Highlighted Features
  • INSTRUCTIONS:This gas meter is connected to hose to measure unidirectional gas flow
  • MAINLY USED FOR:Mainly used for detecting the oxygen flow, control oxygen flow and can be used in industry
  • MEASURABLE GAS:Can measure furnace gas, coke oven gas, coal gas, air, nitrogen, acetylene, phosgene, hydrogen, gas, liquefied gas, , flue gas, methane, butane, gas, methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, compressed air, argon
  • MADE OF HIGH QUALITY ACRYLIC:Made of high quality acrylic, it is transparent and can hold up to 0.6MPa pressure
  • IT IS SIMPLE TO USE:It is simple to use, and has 8mm barbs for convenient connection to hoses

From HBF: Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application.  Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application.  Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

 

Most regulators that homebrewers use for oxygenating wort are simple setups – Example – via William’s Brewing.  They attach to disposable oxygen tanks (typically sourced from a local hardware store) and are little more than on and off valves.  No gauges, no pressure control (other than the degree to which you open and close the valve) and no flow control.

Time and rate give you an idea of how much oxygen you’re really adding to your wort.  Time is easy to track.  Rate, not so much, at least with typical homebrew O2 regulators.  If you want more or less oxygen for your next batch, it’s mostly a guessing game.

Enter an oxygen flow meter.  A flow meter, gives you an idea of flow rate
