Stirplate Inquiry

Mon Jan 22, 2007 12:57 pm

Anyone know how large of a vessel I can comfortably place on top of the B3 stirplate? How much weight and what size of a container will work at the most?

Judging from the picture at B3, I'd say that a 4L Erlenmeyer is about the top end for that, though I've heard rumors of people putting 5 gal of wort in a 6.5 gal carboy with a stir bar on top of other "standard" stir plates in order to aerate wort prior to pitching.
