I hope I put this in the right forum...
I have a stir plate that i purchased at StirStarters.com..... I have made one yeast starter with it for a ALE style beer and used a 1000 milliliters flask and 1 inch stir bar. Everything worked great and I had it running for 3 days until i pitched it.
Now I'm doing a Lager and I have to make a BIGGER yeast starter, so i purchased a 2000 milliliter flask with a 2 inch stir bar (yellow one from Northern brewery) and the stir bar continues to fly off to the side of the flask as soon as it speeds up.... The 1 inch bar works from time to time, but i have noticed it does fly off to the side every now and again.... Also the 1 inch bar doesn't seems to vortex the bigger start enough.
Any ideas to make this accept the 2 inch stir bar, or to make the stir plate work with the 2000 milliliter flask? Frustrated
