Ultrasonic or not! How do you shake it?

I’ve been following this post and our members are very creative when it come shaking recipes. I invested like $15 and I go from left to right in under 30 seconds. It even fit into my 15 ml glass bottles. I even use it up to 250 mls.

@Pro_Vapes Thats quite a difference in 30 seconds. I already have the rotary tool i just cant find the whisk part to go with it. Ive tryed twisting wire to make it stiff enough and by the time I’ve made it stiff enough its too thick to go in the tool and the collet wont grab it. Nightmare!!! If i could get the whisk i would be sorted. If anyone has a link to to buy one in the uk it would be appreciated. :+1:

Before I got this whisk I used a heavy clothes hanger and bent a hoop on the tip. My previous 3 whisks.

@Pro_Vapes never thought of that. Had the tool shed upside down today looking for something suitable. I’ll give that a try. Thanks man. :+1:

Just use the stiffest wire you can find. Flimsy wire will bend and break glass.

Good find. A bigger version of that with a timer would be cool. Set the timer, fix your bottle on and away you go. :yum:

I had one that looked like that… the Hobby Paint Shaker. Worked OK for up to 30ml bottles. It finally bit the dust :slight_smile:

They’re on eBay for 30 bucks or so.

Looks like a good bit of kit, especially for your bigger batches. Still love my dremmel though, got used to it now, but saying that, the most i make is about 150ml in one go. :yum:

It’s basically like taping your bottle to a jigsaw or sawzall and shaking the shit out of it :slight_smile:

That’s some easy high speed frothing. Just froth it and wash the wand and you’re done.

Nice bit of kit @Pattie!

I use one of the AA battery milk frothers (Norpro cordless mini mixer, $6!!) and it works almost perfectly. It’s excellent for mixing round and round, but I wish it would mix better from top to bottom. I really want to find or make a miniature propeller that will create a vortex so it mixes from top to bottom, too.

But for $6, it’s awesome. Saves me from a lot of hand shaking.

I found a small propeller at a model shop for a model boat and it done the trick but it was fragile. Thats why i went with what i use. I can lengthen the stainless steel rod for bigger bottles, but mainly use it how it is.
I had the milk frother but couldn’t get anywhere near the results that i do with the dremel. And it takes seconds.

I just folded and then twisted a 22g Ti piece and flared out the tips a tiny bit. just stick in my drill and away I go. No more sore wrists/arms for me :slight_smile:

I started with somethings similar but found the wire too flexible when spinning at high speed so went with the stainless steel rod.
My dremel starts at 10,000 rpm, so had to use something stiffer.

My drill is cheap, it isn’t very fast at all. I do have a 3000rpm dremel but the connection isn’t the same so i havent had a means of using it yet… plus that bugger is loud af id rather not run it inside lol don’t want to annoy everyone else in the house hah

Really it’s just whatever works for you isn’t it? As long as you get your end result then it’s a win win. :yum::ok_hand:
