Product details

The first industrial-grade programmable magnetic stir plate designed specifically for yeast starters. Now includes a Stir Bar Removal Tool!

Breed a Herculean army of yeast for brewing bigger beers than ever before. Powerful rare earth magnets churn through any size starter and never throw a stir bar. Five-speed control adapts to sizes from minute to mammoth, for yeast starters in a 1000ml Erlenmeyer flask, all the way up to a 5-gallon carboy.

Command a massive yeast starter while you're at work or over the weekend. Let it run indefinitely, or program up to 48 hours of stir time. Schedule it to settle out yeast just in time to come home and brew.

Watch Maelstrom® surge through starter wort creating a vortex like no other. The transparent body shows the magnets whipping through rotation. Plus, the seamless surface makes for easy cleaning.

Easy to use with an intuitive interface, the Maelstrom® sets the new standard as the most powerful and versatile homebrewing stir plate ever created for the home brewer.

Be sure to check out our Fast Pitch® Yeast Starter Kits in 1000 ml and 2000 ml sizes.

Do it!

If you are thinking about it, pull the trigger dude. This is the holy grail of stir tables. I will cherish this every time I brew. No more fighting large starters on a cheap unit for me!

If only you would use USPS to ship to Alaska ...

Stir plate works great! Pricy, but everything is nowadays. I'm inclined to start my own "Northern Brewer II" here in Alaska, as shipping here can cost as much as the product that I'm ordering. You know, AIH has better shipping rates than you guys, but not the selection that you have. I moved here from Colorado, and used to order all grain recipe kits from you all the time. Please consider sending your stuff to AK via USPS, or shaving a little less margin from your bottom line - just for us Alaska folks - and you could claim to be 'King of the Arctic Homebrew Suppliers' !! just a thought ... TIM.

Best Plate You *Should* Get

I bought two separate cheaper plates on Amazon and regretted both. I finally bought the big boy and I've never been happier. Is it expensive? -YES-, it is absolutely worth it? - YES-.

This things swirls my Mead like a greek god... No concerns about extra gas in the brew, and I can dump honey, jam, or whatever else in the carboy and it's doesn't even reach the bottom before it's mixed thoroughly. Highly recommend!
