yeast starter tips.

If this hasn't been done before. I claim it.. :lol:

If you've always had to shake starter wort after being boiled in an ice tub to get it to temp.

Try this.

The temp dropped a 1C/min

I love my digital home brewing stir plates (no affiliation). :super:

That is pretty decent cooling rate.

My approach is somewhat different. I no chill my starter wort. Usually make it in morning then add yeast in the evening.

Back on topic, good tip. Will try it if I need one started in a hurry.

thanks guys.
I have a bigger Stainless bowl. It'll be interesting to see if this will work with a 5lt flask..
