Mix-Stir Agitator Rod

About 10 years ago I got one of these (same make and model) from my local homebrew supply store for aerating wort and cider before fermentation. It continues to work very well and I've now gotten a spare from Amazon because it's not as easy to find anymore, and I can have one in each of the two locations where I brew.

Didn't have any problem fitting this into the neck of my glass carboy. Yes, it's tight, but that's the point. Small paddles would produce less agitation, which is contrary to its purpose. In fact, this agitates and mixes the liquid quite effectively. I used to degas my wine with a whip, which I attached to a cordless drill and would run for five minutes straight. With this rod, I can't run it for more than 10-20 seconds at a time. It degassed my wine much more efficiently and quickly. Just be cautious about using this agitator rod for too long, which can cause a whirlpool effect and create an overflow of your liquid out of your container.

WOW DOES THIS THING WORK!!! THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS NEED TO MAKE THIS WITH A STURDIER SHAFT!! BOY DOES THIS THING BEND!!! Works like a charm!!

I needed this one for it's length. My old one broke. This new one looks better built. A more higher quality item. Works like a charm.

The mixer was a very tight fit going in the glass carboy neck. I was worried going in that I would force it and it would break, I was MORE worried about drawing it back out that it would break and stay in the carboy. That didn't happen. I've used it plenty and it seems kinda' scary each time, but continues to work just great.

I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on an oxygen tank, wand, and oxygen. This is a great alternative and works just the same.

I ordered 2 of these mixers to use making mead. Each one broke the first time I used them. Each one broke one of the two paddles of while mixing. They still work with one pair but shake a lot more....

Just used this for the first time on my first batch of wine. It worked great to degass the wine, I can't imagine doing it manually... The item is very well constructed, I'm pretty sure it's going to last a long long time. I'm also anxious to use this for my next batch of beer when topping off with water. This will hopefully give me more accurate hydrometer readings in my extract / partial boil batches. Very happy with my purchase!

great

Works really well. At $80 it was a bit expensive. Came from USA. Saw the equivalent on another website for $40. AMAZON not always the cheapest.

The agitator was used to degass homemade wine 🍷 and worked well. This making it easier than having to use a manual stir stick

Started out great... This defiantly worked well for degassing wine but after a few uses a small peice broke off... It is still usable but not the same as it was... 😥

Great little rig for degassing wine.
