Bulk Buy - Erlenmeyer Flasks

[TidalPete]

I'd love to see that lolly jar boiling away on the stove.

Sammy,

You do not have to boil up your starter wort in your Erlenmeyer or lolly jar on the stove. I boil in a saucepan & decant into the sterilised vessel of my choice.

While I am here I have noticed that there are a few 2000ml buyers who do not intend to get either the 500ml or the 1000ml Erlenmeyer? (Perhaps you already have one?)
You may find it awkward stirring a 100-150ml first step in a 2000ml vessel due to the lack of depth for the stir bar to work in.
Just my observations & 2 bob's worth.

Well Batz,

A lot of these brewers have participated in the test tube bulk buy & with all my yeasts stored in tubes I find that I have to make my first step 100ml or less of wort to get approx the 10\1 ratio of wort\yeast that are the recommended volumes to step up to.
You most certainly have more yeast to throw into your starter than the small amount stored in a test tube.
Are you over in WA yet? Just curious I guess?

Cannibal, re payment, when the deed is done are you going to PM us with an 'invoice' and include your bank a/c details or should we send you an old fashioned money order?

Thx Smurf, the price didnt really stack up on the 3ltr, I didnt check the others. G&G $43 VRS $37 + delivery ($14) I would prefer G&G and whilst visiting p/up a new liquid.

Edited my name off.
Cheers n Merry Xmas

How do you attach an air lock to the flasks? Do they come with lids?

 

[Bizier]

Rubber bung with hole drilled down centre for airlock. I know Dave's in Syd has them, and I am sure others would stock them also.

 

[brettprevans]

just put some aluminium foil over the top of it or glad wrap (like all those glad wrap fermentor brewers).

othersie you could buy a rubber bung with a hole or drill a hole in it to fit your airlock
EDIT: beaten

Gladwrap is all is use. I have a rubber bung and airlock for the small flasks (250 and 500mL) but dont bother using them anymore. I dont have a bung big enough for the 5 and 6L flasks.

 

[Damian44]

Thanks guys. Put me down for a 3l.

Have you seen these guys: Wiltronics ?

They don't have 3L listed though.

 

[Bizier]

Have you seen these guys: Wiltronics ?

They don't have 3L listed though.

I have bought 2 x 1L though them recently and they are a slightly upward-convex base.

Though that won't stop me trying to use a stir plate at a low speed.

 

[Cannibal Smurf]

Have you seen these guys: Wiltronics ?

They don't have 3L listed though.

Yup, the salesman at Wiltronics advised me the flasks weren't suitable for stir plates due to the curve of the base.

 

[Josh]

What's the latest here? I'm cashed up and ready to buy.

ditto.

 

[brettprevans]

umm bump. has this died? am i stuck using 3L coke bottles instead of nice santiary glass?

 

[Pennywise]

I hope not, the only reason I want one of these flasks is because I never seem to have an empty coke bottle when i need it, and I don't fancy sculling 1.25 litres of coke.

 

[DiscoStu]

Would be keen to get in on this buy as well, cracked by 1L flask last night washing it. Would be in for a 1L and 2L

 

[oldbugman]

I'd be keen too.

 

[Cannibal Smurf]

Hey guys,

Still planning on going ahead with the buy, I actually emailed the completed order form earlier in the week and got a call yesterday advising that 'due to the current economic climate, our prices have risen slightly over the new year break' so I'm expecting a mutiny, but the rise is pretty minimal.

500ml.......$ 6.75
1 litre.......$ 8.43
2 litre.......$19.96
3 litre.......$39.80

Postage:

...........QLD,NSW,VIC.....SA,NT,WA
500ml.......$ 5.40...........$ 5.50
1 litre.......$ 5.40..........$ 5.50
2 litre.......$10.05..........$11.40
3 litre.......PM with postcode, around $14 on average. Postage is per item. Pickup is available from Gold Coast, QLD. As per all bulk buys, initial postage to my address will be split evenly, looks like it will add about $1.25 per item. Still works out much cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.
To get these prices I have to purchase;
10 x 500ml
10 x 1L
25 x 2L
10 x 3L

I think this list is the most current. Feel free to update as required. I should be able to cover the shortcomings [except the 2L.. that's over $200, c'mon guys](unless too many dropout) and hope I don't get stuck with them.

I'm still in, not too interested in flat or curved bottom, just need something sterilizable so I can make up the mother of all starters to get some of these these sluggish lazy mo'fo' liquid yeasts earning a living for the big dollars I pay for them I reckon Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire Bitter is a shop steward in the yeast union and they are doing a go slow and 1768 isn't too far behind, Pommy BASTARDS :huh:
