We are in our sixties and not as savvy...lol...I was lucky to even get her to listen to me about the CS...I have been using a bubbler for a long time should I throw out the stuff I have made with the bubbler? Simple is better just want to steer her in the direction of a unit that is all put together and ready to go. Thanks

If you know someone who is handy with their hands and a soldering iron you can make your own magnetic stirrer, all you need is…. 1. Fan from an old computer 2. Magnet from hard drive of same computer 3. Adaptor converting mains AC power to 12v DC. A variable converter is ideal and set on lowest setting that keeps stir bar spinning e.g. 4.5v 4. A jewellery box, they also have a draw for storing stir bar/s 5. A hole saw the same diameter as the fan to cut hole in the lid of the jewellery box 6. A square or round piece of plastic speaker cover cut from an old radio or something similar for sitting brew vessel on when affixed to the lid over that hole 7. A stir bar 8. An on/off switch fixed to the box and wired in the circuit is optional Wire all the above together and you've got a magnetic stirrer that works perfectly.

Bad practice to use one. It introduces nitrogen and dust.

I found one for over $200.00 thought that was too steep. Got a friend in the west coast really wanting to make her own...I trust your opinions here and want her to get a good deal on something that is easy to use. Thanks in advance, Debbie
