That's about it. Sanitize the stirbar too.Then try to remember not to dump the stirbar into the fermenter when you pitch.Which is why I have 2 stirbarsMake a liter or so of 1.040 wort (use this calculator - here) in a sanitized flask and pitch the yeast into it. Put the stir bar in and place it on the stir plate. Cover the flask with sanitized aluminum foil. Let 'er spin for awhile.

Awesome idea.. Hopefully I can get a stirbar at my LHBS. Right now I just have a magnet that looks like a stirbar. It works, but not sure if it is the right material to use.Use the magnet on the outside of the flask trick Just secure the stir bar with a magnet when pitching the yeast into the fermenter.
