Great video Jake. I'm a butterfingers type mechanic but you've made this look so ez I'm goin' give er a try. Anything to improve the brew. Thanks for the helping hand!
Just built one according to your video.... couldn't have been easier!!!! I have never soldered anything before, but I think I got it figured out... It's amazing the skills I have learned since learning to brew!!!!! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Jake. I just made me one of these for my 2L starters here in Scotland and it worked real fine. Now I can get on with other things as the beasties are being spun. Replaced the the screwheads with some countersunk ones, but apart from that, everything was as it is in the video.. Thanks man...
@TheSamohon Cool! i think having a stir plate is a very good idea to make sure those yeasties are viable! AND for higher gravity beers! Glad you got one going!!!
I just made one of these this weekend. The local radioshack didnt have a big enough project box so I got a $3 cigar box and it worked great. My flask and stir bar are on the way, and I'll be posting something similar soon. Nice video...I think you can def go with a 2L starter bc that big a vortex isnt necessary, plus 2L starters are what you need for most 5 gallon batches anyway...nice job!
@jakecpunut I got a 2000ml erlenmeyer flask and a I got the mini and super mini stir bar. IDK which will work best yet, but I intend to go into that in a video...
@DickyBenfield thanks... it's not too difficult.. GO FOR IT! You can find deals but like I said I like the hands on stuff and it wasn't too hard at all.. if you'll follow the link in the more info section to homebrewtalk you'll have all the info you need!
Nice.... i would have mounted fan to the box, not the lid... then you wouldn't have screw heads to deal with plus the space from the top of the fan to your flask wouldn't have a metal around for the magnet to deal with...( try flat-head screws and counter sink?) i use 3L wine jug to make 2L starters... cheap wine $5.99 jug... i get the burgundy dump it into a pitcher and add some fresh orange, lemon and lime slices to make sangria and my gf drinks it... lol
@ZaBuDaB actually I picked up some flat head screws today to take the place of those... i didn't mention it in the video but I knew that was going to be a problem!
haha... cool.. thanks for the tips! My wife loves sangria!!

Nice, I thought about making one of these, but figured it would be more difficult. I may have to build me one of these... cool, video...
