My stir plate gets pretty warm if I let it run for more than about 4 hrs or so. Eventually it heats up the wort, but I've never measured how much. I've got a starter going right now that I'd guess was in the mid-high 80's the other day. This has happened a number of times, but I've never seen any off flavors or performance issues.That said, this latest episode of the starter heating up has me thinking about wiring a small muffin fan into the base of the stir plate, to dissipate some of the heat.I did consider this and ran my stir plate for a while just to see if it would heat up, and it didn't, at least according to the rule of thumb. Being anal, i'll likely check again with more accurate equipment now that you brought it up... Thanks!
