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.

Works well with a drill to stir my homemade wine.

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.

This one doesn't just slip into the carboy. Took a bit of finagling and finally got it in there. Spent a minute easing the speed up until I got about 2-3 inches of foam. Pitched my yeast and they really appreciated that healthy, aerated wort. They took off inside a few hours.

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.

Works well

Excellent, very large for my batchs, but it is not a problem.

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.
