Re: Stir plate goes nuts

you should open your stirrer - and play with the electronics that
control the speed. See if you can make your stirplate to run Linux.

FYI: my roommate, organic chemistry grad student, did homebrewing a
lot. He could have used stirplates if he ever wanted to. But a
polyethylene bucket with a tight lid + bubbler outlet was the most
sophisticated piece he ever got. (And thermometer and a watch - when he
was heating the grains in a big pot on the stove.)
His products were highly drinkable - so I think the stirplate thing is
a fad. (He did not need to see the vortex - he was not impreseed by
magic of magnetic stirring, doing it every day in the lab).

I think this fad is promoted by brewing supply stores and suckers who
spend money on a stirplate. You paid at least $200 for it didn't you?
It is just a little motor spinning a magnet puck.
