Hands on Review: The StirStarter Yeast Stir Plate

Why make a yeast starter?

A yeast starter can really help insure you have healthy, viable yeast for your beer especially when using liquid yeast. For this reason I always prefer to build up a starter whenever using a liquid yeast (or re-pitching a saved yeast). I won’t get into effectiveness of different starter methods but a popular choice for homebrewers is to use a stir plate, a magnetic stir-bar and a flask of some sort (erlenmeyer flask in most cases).

Full disclosure, I was sent this product for free to do this review. Though I did try and put it through multiple real-world tests and have given my honest opinion on function and performance.

Ends Today: Kegland Wort Whipper Stir Plate – on sale for $34.99 at William’s Brewing

Wort Whipper Stir Plate

Kegland Wort Whipper Stir Plate via William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The compact Wort Whipper from KegLand is only 1.1″ thick, and 4.75″ wide. Although this unit says it can stir up to 5 liters, we have tested it and found it is only good for up to 2000ml of wort in a 3000ml Erlemeyer Flask. Still, it is an excellent value for $40.00.

This unit has variable speed, and it is best for yeast growth to set the speed as low as possible so the yeast is suspended without it looking like a tornado. A magnetic stir bar is included, although the pictured 3000ml Erlenmeyer Flask is not included.


 

  • For a limited time William’s Brewing has this on sale for just $34.99.
  • Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the lower 48 states depending on your order size for most items.

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.

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.

StirStarter Stir Plate – $41.50 + Free Shipping & Hands on Review

StirStarter Stir Plate

StirStarter Stir Plate via Valuebrew.  Includes Stir Plate, Stir Bar and “keeper magnet” (helps you retrieve stir bar after use).

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Take your fermentations to the next level with the StirStarter!

Includes StirStarter Stir Plate, Stir Bar and Keeper Magnet.

Ships free to US addresses.

This unit has two powerful NdFeB button magnets in the 12 VDC stir motor, which is controlled by a precision voltage regulator for easy speed adjustment. The RPMs of the drive motor are limited, so the motor will not “throw” the stir bar, yet it provides enough to get a good vortex going. A low voltage, plug-in wall transformer provides power to the unit. The black plastic case dimensions are 6″ x 4″ x 2″, large enough to accomodate a 2000 mL flask as shown. A Teflon coated 1″ x 5/16″ stir bar is included. A “keeper” magnet is also supplied to lock the stir bar in place while the yeast is pitched, so the stir bar won’t end up in your fermenter!


 

I’ve used the StirStarter for years and it has worked very well for me.  I can wholeheartedly recommend it to you.  Check out our in depth Hands on Review!
