Wort Whipper Super Compact Magnetic Stir Plate

A magnetic stir plate is a great investment to help improve the quality of your yeast starters. Aeration is an important factor in making a yeast starter, and without a stir plate you’ll need to pick up and swirl your starter by hand as often as possible. The stir plate is a simple solution that will continuously aerate your starter, leading to higher numbers of viable yeast.

This compact stir plate works with Erlenmeyer flasks up to 5000mL in size. Depending on the volume of your yeast starter, you can use the adjustment knob to dial in the speed of the stir bar. We recommend using just enough power to keep yeast in suspension, a full vortex isn’t really necessary.

Stir bar included.

All of our flasks are made from borosilicate type glass which is nice because they can be transferred directly from heat to ice and not crack like normal glass.

Great Flask for yeast culturing.

Uses a #6.5 stopper

Propper Yeast Starter Condensed Wort – Individual Can 16oz by Omega

Jeff Daigle — Sat, 15 Dec 2018 00:56:27 +0000

Propper Starter™ is condensed wort in a can, allowing you to make a yeast starter in minutes! No need to make a mess in the kitchen measuring out DME, and no need to waste time boiling and cooling before you pitch your yeast. Simply open a can of Propper Starter™, pour it into your flask along with 16 oz of bottled or distilled water, then add your yeast. It's that simple!

One can of Propper Starter™ with 16 oz of water will make a 1L starter with a gravity of 1.040. It is recommended to use the 1:1 dilution rate, regardless of the original gravity of your wort.

Making a proper yeast starter will offer higher cell counts at the time the yeast is pitched, leading to faster, healthier fermentations and better tasting beer! They're especially recommended for lagers and any beer that has an original gravity of 1.060 or higher.

Instructions:
1. Sanitize flask, stir bar, top of can and yeast pack
2. Swirl and open can, then pour contents into flask
3. Add 16 oz of bottled or distilled water to flask
4. Pitch yeast and swirl flask to mix
5. Add stir bar to flask, cover with foil, and mix on stir plate*

Recommended Use:
-For high gravity beers (1.060 OG or higher)
-For cold pitching lagers
-For yeast packs that recommend a starter
-For yeast packs nearing expiration
-Ingredients: water, barley malt extract, yeast nutrient

Shelf life: 12 months. Refrigeration not required.
