Well , Here's my new Toy

Question is , Does this look like a proper vortex for promoting LC growth ?
 
Thanks 
Got a hell of a deal on it. The stirrer was as much as 10 stir bars Or I got raped on the stir bars,lol.

Never used one. But from Agar's picture, the vox. is way longer/deeper.
What kind of stirrers are you using? Standard stuff? 
BTW, congrats. on the new toy ...How much was it?

Nothing much, just staring at this Viet. Pan. Cyan. LC someone sent me recently...And just how GREAT it is...lol..He used one of those devices and got GREAT results from it 
Those are the best from my knowledge, lol.(the bars)
What RPM does it spin at?...Just one speed?
Didn't know those were so cheap 
Looks like i'll be investing in one sooner than I thought, hahah.

It has 10 setting's, just not sure which one to use it at. At the highest setting , it will send a funnel all the way to the bottom of the jar.
They're not normally that cheap. I saw a multi stirrer that wasn't tested go for $103, not even guaranteed to work. AS IS sale. I just got lucky

I have always wondered about those things.... Do you have to put something in the jar to make it stir, or how do they work?

Yes . You have to use something magnetic as a stir bar . I ordered some teflon coated magnet stir bars to go with it.

I've got a stir plate, but I haven't seen bars anywhere. Anyone care to promote some easily obtainable brand they use?

Excellent HC! A magnetic stirrer is a must have for liquid cultures. As far as the speed is concerned, a full vortex is best to break up the mycelia network as small as possible.

Nice find.
From what I'm reading, if I'm going to do LC it's definitely a good find. The (infamous) MIT flea market is back in action for 2006 and I wouldn't be surprised if I find one there.

Yup. Light Malt Extract and Dextrose. 

One tablespoon each per quart distilled water.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say it's a must have for anyone who is serious about doing liquid cultures? I just don't want to start hearing all the newbies thinking they have to spend a bunch of money on magnetic stirrers along with everything else.
