Stirmaster 3000 + the next brew

My masterpiece is finally complete- the Stirmaster 3000 has been born! muhahahahaha!

I built a stirplate (finally) using various pieces of electronics I had around the shop at home (a muffin fan, a magnet from a hard drive, and a DPDT switch) plus a tupperware container from the local crap shop near work, some odds and ends from the Shack de Radio and a power adapter I had kicking around. Amazingly, it works. (I'm somewhat stunned that I didn't start a fire with it).

I was particularly proud of myself for a few reasons on this:

1. I didn't kill myself or others while building it,
2. I designed it to be run off of either a power adapter or a 9v battery so it's portable, and
   
3. I added an auxiliary power output on the box so it can be used as a controller for any other electrical brewtools, like, for example, a continuous hopping machine.
   

I'll try to post some pics of the Stirmaster 3000 soon. If any of you guys want me to build one for you, lemme know.

The reason for the completion of the stirplate is the next beer I will brew- a Weizenbock. I'll need to make a starter (I'm estimating an OG of 1.075 or so) and I'm hoping to harvest the yeast out of a bottle of Aventinus. I've ordered the ingredients and I'll post the recipe in a few days when I finalize the hop and grain bill.

Oh, the name for the new brew? Neuesvaterweizenbock (German for New Father weizenbock).
