I've been using mine for an extended amount of time now without a hitch

And link to the original build thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/easy-stir-plate-362308/#post4515959

I just happened to grab this canister and thought, that looks the same size as my new flack! Presto, 20 minutes later I was done.

Here is an easy and cheap way to build a stir plate that just happens to be just the right size for a 2000 ML Erlenmeyer flask. Parts list: 1) A 2000 ML Erlenmeyer flask. 2) Large empty can of coffee creamer 3) A left over 12V 1000ma power supply from some broken appliance. 4) A rare...

Just a follow up on the build. I have discovered that there are is an aspect of the build that I would change should I do it again. As detailed in the OT, I built metal panels to encase 2 inch hard insulation and just laid them against each other and secured them in place. I have...

No, it is just some of the common home style gasket for around windows and such. It works well beacause it compresses well around the various cords I run inside for temp readings, small fan etc.

It's a 6.5 gal. Mini-Brew Fermenter made by Hobby Bever Co.

I coiled a SS wire onto a round rod and then pulled the coils out lengthwise to form an open and elongated coil spring. I then inserted this into the SS braid. Works perfectly supporting the braid and is uneffected by heat. By the way, my 5 gallon Rubbermaid cooler has seen 6-7 batches without...

I put a coiled length of SS welding wire inside mine to keep it expanded. It works really well.

I did the Dawson's Multi Grain Red and it's the best I've brewed so far.

Cooling is supplied from a salvaged mini-fridge and regulated with a home built temp controller.

Just enough room to clear my 6.5 gallon conical and the airlock

No wasted space!
