The first industrial-grade programmable stir plate designed specifically for yeast starters.
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 starters in a 1L flask to a 5-gallon carboy.

Watch Maelstrom® surge through starter wort. The transparent body shows the magnets whipping through rotation. Plus, a seamless plastic surface makes for easy cleaning.

It's fun to watch

Arrive on time, all the parts where there, fired it up and put my starter on it and the action began. It appears to be a quality product and works as described

got the yeast starter kit with the stir plate and bar. use resulted in a very vigorous yeast for pitching in my wort. Very good results with the fastest fermentation start I ever experienced. good products and great service.

Typical digital BS. When it works it is fine. when it does not, it is landfill.

Amazing Machine!

This was my first attempt with a yeast starter and using the Maelstrom Stir Plate. I used a liquid yeast and one Canned Wort and in 24 hours I had a starter from hell! I poured the starter into my cooled wort and fermentation started within an hour. If only I had known of this benefit sooner. This will be my process going forward. Well worth the investment!

Maelstrom Stir Plate

I am always amazed when I read the number of good reviews for this plate. I own two Northern Brewers stir plates. One of their originals which which was not very expensive but simply couldn't handle starters any larger than 1.0L. Bought one of the Maelstrom plates expecting a powerful stir plate, as they advertise it as such. It won't even start itself with nothing on it. I have to use a small steel tool to get it started. Half the time when I put a 1.5L flask on it, it stops. Start it by hand again, sit the flask back and hope it stays running. Forget any speed adjustment or creating a whirlpool, just feel lucky if it keeps the stir bar moving. Envious of you folks that have one which actually works. Northern Brewer not good at standing behind their products. I could comment on their Steelhead pump but enough for now.
