[Crypticx666]

Well done old boy! well done!

[megajoel1983]

Great video eh.

[coronet]

Thanks for the video. Going to do this in a cigar box. Now if only I could find an erlenmeyer flask for 15$!

[weirdbeer]

@coronet Thanks! A cigar box would work nicely, and thats free! As for magnets, if I were to do it again I'd look for a magnet from an old hard drive.

[bocatablanco]

You only need to put 5 or 12 and see the spwmeed xd

[bocatablanco]

In the pcs always is thay, believe me xd

[bocatablanco]

yelllow = 12v

Red = 5v ;)

[weirdbeer]

@bocatablanco I could have sworn it was the other way around. You sure?

[Wayner665]

Great video!

[videoMC2010]

[LongDogBrew]

Nicely done!

[weirdbeer]

@LongDogBrew Thanks. Appreciate it!

[ChadzBeerReviews]

can I buy yours? lol

[weirdbeer]

@ChadzBeerReviews lol. Are you brewing these days?

[dorfineer]

That's the song from food wishes...

[weirdbeer]

@dorfineer All the songs in this video were taken from iMovie. They're all royalty free and come with a Mac computer. Its interesting that they used it too.

[Veloesque]

Cool man, why not cut the blades off the fan? Should run a bit more efficiently no?

[weirdbeer]

@Veloesque Not a bad idea. Maybe I'll snap them off to see what happens. Less wind resistance I guess. Thanks!

[baboonman]

@weirdbeer Lowers the moment of inertia in particular, will take less energy to spin.

[threeque]

I like the banjo background music. "Back woods brewing tips and tricks. .... with your host .....Fo."

[weirdbeer]

@threeque Haha. awesome.

[whatsbrewinguk]

Nice project ...you can also get these fans with the potentiometer attached on a cable ( used to mod pc's) I like a project that is cheap and beer related.

[dmbhawker]

I want that!

[kyral210]

I have to make one of these!

[weirdbeer]

@kyral210 Really easy. Go for it!

[kyral210]

@weirdbeer Well, I tend to use dried yeast rather than fresh because im not an all grain brewer (yet)

[immolateus]

A1, superb project, awesome vid!  Cheers!

[weirdbeer]

@immolateus Thanks man.

[jakecpunut]

Nice job Fo! Can't get much simpler than that!

[weirdbeer]

@jakecpunut Thanks. Your vid is good too.

[conduct623]

Excellent video FO, very informative and simple to do. Cheers.  By the way, I'll be bottling up my first batch of skeeter pee today.

[weirdbeer]

@conduct623 Awesome. Let me know how your Skeeter Pee turns out.

[manosaxy]

The plat I made I used too much gun in the power supply... threw the bar all over the place... hehehe... great vid, as usual, Fo.

[weirdbeer]

@manosaxy haha. Thats ok. Maybe change the AC/DC adapter?

[manosaxy]

@weirdbeer that's what i was thinking. I haven't brewed a beer that I felt i really needed a stirplate. I use the flask and just let it start.

[homebeerbrewery]

Nice video m8, I made one to! It seems to work a lot better when there is more space between the magnet and the plastic stir stick ( in my case ) Those plastic stir sticks are hard to find here in Holland :-(. Good job over there!!!! Cheers !

[weirdbeer]

@homebeerbrewery Cool. Maybe I'lll play with the spacing some more and see what I get. I want to go to Holland bad!
