So I've done a couple small starters with my new stir plate. I stepped up from 500ml to 2000ml.
swmbo was supposed to get me a 5000ml flask for my birthday but there was a minor misunderstanding in regards to the volume I actually required. That's how I ended up with the 500ml.
I did a helles lager, propagated my single pouch of wyeast 2308 from 500ml to 2000ml. I was planning on moving up to an 8L starter for 12 gal of 1.051 wort. The problem is that I can't get the magnets in the stir plate to catch the stir bar because of the dome in the bottom. Any ideas? Currently I'm using a brew bucket with a lid and an air lock and it's really noisy.
Can't get the backup stir bar to pull the stir bar in the carboy up over the dome of the carboy...should I try to find a different 3 gal carboy?
