Description
 

The Nor'Easter magnetic stir plate (stirring platform) features a large 8" x 8" stainless steel platform to support just about any size flask you want to throw at it (up to 5 liter) The smooth surface also makes cleanup a breeze if the starter happens to blow out.

Features:

Dimensions: 8" x 8" x 3"H
Grounded 3-prong plug on a 38" long cord for use with 120 volt household circuits.
Power On/Off switch with indicator LED.
Rotary knob to smoothly select speed of stirring.
Rubber feet to minimize walking on smooth surfaces.

Required but not included:
Vessel to hold your yeast starter such as our 2 liter Erlenmeyer Flask (or any vessel smaller than 12" diameter with a generally flat bottom)
Teflon-coated magnetic stir bar between 1-2" in length. Stir bars with lengths outside of this range will tend to get thrown more easily at high speeds. Over the years we've found that it's best to have an assortment of stirbar lengths with and without the center rib because there is no one size fits all. Sometimes the bottom of your vessel and what kind of curvature it has makes one bar better or worse than others.

Stirbars can be found here.

This item is also included in our yeast starter master kit elsewhere on this site.

5 of 5 Love it! November 14, 2023
Reviewer: Kevin C from Indianapolis  
I tinker. I built several stir plates over the years, and every time I would go to brew, I would inevitably have to mess with the stir plate, adjusting magnets etc to get the starter going. I want to brew, I don't want to fudge with magnets.

Works great. It's never thrown a bar. Sturdy, easy to clean. Just love everything about it.

But real talk, you missed an opportunity to call this the "Nor'Yeaster". You even have the tornado on it that kinda looks like a Y!

5 of 5 terrific home brewing stir plate February 8, 2022
Reviewer: kkbell from South Carolina  
This stir plate checks all of the boxes that the generic ones most of us started with do not.  The large stainless platform, build quality, and smooth operation are a cut above. Given that stir plates are relatively simple devices, it's surprising that the home brewing market is flooded with poor re-purposed models.  Kudos to BrewHardware.com for giving home brewers a well thought out and executed model that does what we need at a fair price.

As of now I have done two large (4.5 Gal) starters. The stir plate has had no problems keeping a vortex and my yeast happy!

5 of 5 Stirs Keggle HLT June 6, 2020
Reviewer: Curtis Kendall from Windsor, CA United States  
I've had this stir plate for a while and been very happy - great for yeast starters in a as large as a 5 liter flask.

While thinking about a new HERMS setup, I tried a 2" spin-bar in my Keggle HLT.  Wow, it works great! I use a Bel-Art spin-bar with an ALNICO V magnet, which probably helps.
