they make i forget the web site but i got to find it mine is wore out, it is a 1/4" 304 stainless steel rod, that has 2 plastic folding wings that will fit in a carboy the bottom of the stirrer has a rubber short tube so the metal never touches the carboy, the top has a small drilled universel bung to protect the neck of your carboy, if i can find the site i will post it here, it works great,
exactly, i have both, and i have also long ago took a plastic clothes hanger, cut one end on the straight bottom rod, then on other end cut around the curve so it looks like a J all work to degass quickly using a drill / cordless
homebrewohio.com dang @KCCam YOU SAVED ME SO MUCH TROUBLE FINDING THE REPLACEMENT BLADES, , since we are polar opposites from now on YOU GET TO BE THE HORSES HEAD AND I AM THE HORSES BUTT, thank you my friend it was 6 years ago that i bought that stirrer, but i had forgotten where i got mine at, all the others the blades wont fit mine, but i got my replacement blades on the way, i was only kidding about you being a mountie.
, naw no **** man, Thank You
We both like making wine. We both like drinking it. We both like sharing it. I don't think we're so polar opposite as you think.
Hey, I took that as a complement! My dad's an ex-cop, and there has never been a finer one. Guys he put away, bought him beers after they got out.i was only kidding about you being a mountie.
You're welcome. Kinda weird how a quick search I did sparked something that got you something you've been looking for. Glad I could help.
ok first @KCCam can tell you i aint right, but on my skeeter pee ports, i use either K1V-1116 OR EC-1118, BUT I start with one or 2 bottles of 32 oz lemon concentrate, add sugar to a SSG of 1.040, as the ferment goes along i step feed my must with yeast energizer and yeast nutrients when my SG drops to 1.000, i add sugar, nutrients, energizer back to 1.040. and i repeat over and over till it finally finishes at FSG of 1.040, now if you like drier, then pick your SG number and use that reading to step feed your SKEETER PEE , now that it is done fermenting then i add 4 ore bottles of lemon juice concentrate so i am 1 bottle of concentrate per gallon of water, and your ABV will be between 18 ABV to 20 ABV, alright you mix it well with your drill, then rack into a carboy and smaller jugs, that allows you to top up at every racking, when completely clear zero sediment/lees, then rack every for SP 3 weeks, then when i ready to bottle i take a 6.5 gallon carboy, i pour a fifth of 190 proof PGA/EVERCLEAR/GEM CLEAR, Then i rack my skeeter pee into that carboy, and stirr, then i bottle, you'll get the tart without leaving sediment/lees in your wine bottles, but i warn you, if you make it like i do, never drive or do dangerous things, and warn anyone before you give them a glass or a bottle, because you will have ambush lemonade, taste old fashioned, but kicks harder than a mule, and a easy drinker, both lemon and pineapple both will hide very high alcohol content,
frist, by saying polar opposites it is my way of joking, yes i'm weird,,lol
The stainless whip is fine while fermentation is active, as yeast needs oxygen. Once it gets close to completion tho you have to start being more careful about oxygen.
yes as @KCCam said, and you need to add 1/4 tsp of potassium metabisulfite per 6 gallons to stop oxidation, oh, that site is homebrewohio.com , they sell the stirrer and the replacement blades, 10/15 seconds each direction, make sure your blades are toward the bottom of carboy and never make a vortex in your wine, although i use mine only to stir in dry sugar or 190 proof grain alcohol, no need for sleeping pills,
You know, Dawg, I've read enough of your posts now that my brain just puts the punctuation in where it's supposed to be. It's kind of like learning to understand someone that speaks with a very heavy accent. Once I hear them say a word I don't understand, and learn what that word is, the next time they say it, my brain just knows what it is and I don't think about it. It didn't even occurred to me that your commas and periods have changed at all, but looking at that message, you're right. Don't try changing on my account, but others might understand what you're saying better. Haha. You do realize though, that your last post doesn't have a single period in it, right?
Oh, wait, I'm wrong... you put "homebrewohio.com" -- that has a period! 
BTW i have a very deep baritone southern accent, your starting to worry me, you ain't got a long range drone do you, and nope i did not notice that i had only one period, and i am having fun with you on my grammar, lol,....,, oops or lack thereof..... oh here's a extra for you, ???bahwaaaa??!!!!!!!You know, Dawg, I've read enough of your posts now that my brain just puts the punctuation in where it's supposed to be.
