Wanted: Stir Plate + stir bar + 2L flask

[molc]

Exactly as it says on the tin. If anyone spots any or all of the above, let me know. Looking to get a bit more control in my yeast growing. Don't mind building the thing myself, but I still need to get my hands on the parts cheaply, as the HB stores are charging an arm and a leg.

This is on sale at the moment, but might still be more than you're willing to spend:

I picked up the above at MBAW.
All cheap Chinese stuff.
The stirplate works and does the job, the build is 'ok' - you won't see this in any lab...
The stir bar comes with the plate, again it works, but the plastic is cheap.
I think the flask is 1l, but no markings on out to indicate that you can drop it from your hob into ice (borosilicate, Pyrex etc.)

[molc]

Well if the above comes with the flask as well, it's cheap enough for me to say feck it and pick one up.

[johnrm]

The plate comes with a bar, the flask is separate, but it's cheap.

[molc]

Cheers lads. Will have a muse but at least it's cheaper then what I've seen on aliababa so far

I got my flask and stir bar from ocon chemicals, paid around 15 for a 2L flask  and two stirbars. They have stir plates as well. I only live down the road from them so I was able to call in but they have an online shop as well.

[johnrm]

Any idea the price of the stir plates?
I was on to them before for chemicals and they were pretty dear.

I have a spare stir bar that you're welcome to

This digital stirplate is one of the best I've come across for beer starters. Including P&P I think it comes in at about €70 depending on the exchange rate. They also throw in some stir bars.

Ok that thing actually looks like the d*gs b*llix. I think I might just say feck it and get one of those and a decent flask.
I fail utterly at saving money with this hobby

It's very effective with bigger starters (I got a 4 litre starter swirling no problem) and makes a cool little rising beeping noise when you crank it up. The only downside is you need to buy an adaptor to get it working here in Ireland.

[molc]

I gave in and ordered one from ebay, as their site didn't have a link for Ireland. €80 all in and it's meant to come with a proper plug for the UK.

Those flasks cost and arm and a leg though, so going to use one of Ikea's finest big 5 litre jars or something until I spot a 2L one for a decent price.

Any idea what they call the stirbars?  €15 for a 2L flask sounds good to me, can't seem to find stir bars on the site though unless this is it?

ask and you shall receive
