Bob,
Are these stirers easy to find anywhere and what is the price range? I googled stirer and found instructions on how to make your own, - I may try that unless buying one is just as cheap as trying to make it. See- Magnetic stirrer construction, from HBD #2570, Nov 29, 1997 <http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ejsbrewing/stirrer/stirrer.htm>

Bought one of those motorized magnetic base stirer for CS. Bought the plastic button for stirring small batches. I also got what looks like a roller bearing and some plastic tubing. Tubing was approx 2 1/2 to 3 inches long, by putting metal bearing in end it swings a big arc in my gallon jar. I love it and highly recommend the stirer for keeping all batches stir ed which helps keep particle size small. Since I had over done it before (gray face) I am taking Selenium and keeping PPM down to 2 on TDS which is provably around 4 PPM. Face did lighten up but feel rest will just take a longer time. Bob
