Stir bar sizing

Found this beast on Craigslist, hoping to use it to mix 5 gallon batches of MCT and hempseed oil tinctures. It appears to work, and at $40 couldn’t pass it up.

Wondering what size stir bar to use for this application

5/8-3/4 the size of your beaker/vessel works best for me

Right on thank you. They have a 6-1/4 inch bar available, I think the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket is about 10 inches

They have these for mixing super thick nutrients. Would it work

Those look great, about 10% of the cost of what this thing would be new as well. Might try one out

Overhead stirrers are superior imo, but great find for so cheap!!
