Mixing Ingredients in the Primary

[Chopper]

How many of you initially mix your primary ingredients with a drill-mounted stirrer?

Since I will be dissolving my sugar in hot water very well before adding it to the primary, shouldn't I be able to use a simple ladle to mix everything well enough in the primary?

I just use a large spoon made for just this purpose.

Ditto.

I use a large spoon for regular wine, but I use my mix stir for mead. I think it helps with the thickness of the honey to mix it better.

Dewalt makes a 24 volt that looks like a car battery. I could imagine what my forearms would look like after using that thing all day!

This gives me time to play with my toys. Drill mounted all the way!!!

Ah but the new lithium ions from dewalt are sooo light!!!

 

[Wade E]

The only thing that I dont like about the lithium is that there is no warning when they are running low. 1 second they are working great the next second they are dead!

I love the Lithium also but agree with Wade. I was using an impact on my deck when it just died without warning. They do recharge fairly fast though.
