I must have been a good boy this year, because Santa brought me just what I had wished for:
What is that device, you ask? It’s a magnetic stir plate to make a professional liquid yeast starter. Continuous stirring ensures optimum oxygenation of the yeast and yields a much more active culture; which in turn ensures good fermentation and a tastier beer. Hopefully I’ll get to use this toy a lot in 2013.
