Haven’t gotten around to ordering a stir plate yet so it’s bring your starter to work day.
I believe that requires a child seat at that size sir.
Check into the vitality starter using the “Shaken, not Stirred” approach. I have not used my stir plate since going that route.

Thanks Man. Will have to look into it.
same here…mine has a thick layer of dust on it!
Here’s some additional info on it…Old Dog…New Tricks | Experimental Brewing
Wow, Denny, I read the blog link and it has been so long now that I forgot it was Mark C. who initially advocated the method. I miss that dude on here - he really knows his stuff.
Yeah. Wonder how he’s doing? Kept in touch for a while after he left here, but he kinda faded away
I wonder if a starter counts as beer in the context of “open container” laws? Not that you’d be likely to be drinking it - but just curious. 
What’s a “stir plate”? Seriously, my homebrewery would not know. ;D
It’s a thing you use to stir agar in to hot wort for making slants and plates
I use mine for preparing isinglass finings from freeze-dried. It’s essential. Don’t try to tell me to use gelatin. There’s no comparison, and I can justify still owning a stir plate. 
(I would also use it for the first step from bottle dregs, a slant or a plate. If I still ever did such a thing. :
)
