My body type is Erlenmeyer flask and let me tell you, it is extremely difficult to find clothes that fit when you have size 15 feet, huge cankles, and size 20AAAA boobs. So glad wide leg pants are coming back in because they鈥檙e perfect for my inverted ice cream cone legs 馃槏
I usually use a 1L or 2L [Erlenmeyer flask] (https://www.amazon.com/PYREX-Narrow-Mouth-Erlenmeyer-Flasks/dp/B004XR5W5E/ref=sr_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1496999961&sr=1-2&keywords=erlenmeyer+flask+2l)
Have to use an Erlenmeyer Flask, much better distance.
I work in a shop where sheet metal is readily available, and scrap is ok to use for whatever we want.
A 120v muffin fan came into my possession by means I do not remember. I glued a neodymium magnet from a dead hard drive to the fan, and built an enclosure to which I mounted the fan, and a 120v dimmer switch to control the speed of said fan.
I then purchased stir bars, to stir the starter in a 2 liter Erlenmeyer flask.
I bought a dimmer switch at Home Depot, and I get an amazing turbination in my starters.
The result is an inexpensive alternative to commercially available stir plates.
Paid $45.00 for the flask, $7.00 for the switch, maybe $9.00 for the stir bars, but the satisfaction of seeing the thing work, and work well, was so validating and fun to do!
I got my erlenmeyer flask on Amazon. I strongly encourage the actual Pyrex brand, I have an off-brand 1L flask and bought a Pyrex 2L flask, the quality difference is pretty staggering.
Here's the one I bought.
Get a erlenmeyer flask to make yeast starters. Spend the little bit extra and get a 2000ml flask made by Pyrex.

Also get Fermcap-S. Boilovers suck
In this case I would take it off the stir plate and use a sanitized funnel to transfer the whole starter into a sanitized growler. Stick the growler in the fridge and reclaim your flask for the next starter.
I bought this flask and it has served me well. I highly recommend it (& free shipping to boot).
I guess I should share this pro tip, which I came up with while lamenting a broken decanter when I was opening a bottle of Monte Bello for the S5 finale of Breaking Bad:

$25, nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe and I got 2 for less than the price of a new Reidel.
I have a Pyrex 2L flask (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XR5W5E) looking to upgrade for larger starters. Mind if I ask what you're using for the 3L starters and if you would recommend it?
Outside of basic equipment like pots, fermenters and chillers, the 2 most impactful things that will make his beer better are the following:
If you will allow me a little tangent in the direction of /r/wine, then this one (warning: Amazon link, in case you don't want it in your history) works well as a wine decanter. It's large enough for a magnum, but wide enough for aerating a 750mL bottle, which is why I prefer it for the regular sized bottles.
