Neither of them worked worth a darn. Because of the price, I decided to try the StirStarter. That was about a year and several brews ago. It has turned out to be a great investment!

This is only true if your starter container has a bottom surface that is not flat. Your 1Gal jug, for example, has a bottom surface that's curved upwards.
