Separatory funnel for yeast rinsing

[nosco]

Has anyone ever tried a separatory flask/funnel for rinsing yeast? Could be handy for getting it into freezer tubes as well?

I also thought about getting one but was worried about the valve being too small.

Being a cheapo I have ordered this to give it a go but hasn't been delivered yet.

It will be interesting how it works on yeast separation. Or I suppose I can use it on pikelets if that doesnt work

A drunken night on ebay saw me purchase a $20 sep funnel thinking that this would revolutionize my yeast rinsing, maybe a better quality one would be ok but the glass stop cock on mine was quite a rough surface, it did come apart completely for cleaning but i reckon the rough surface would be a ******* for sanitising. It lives deep in a box somewhere in the brewery. The tall skinny jar i have always used still works great the labels come off long time ago so no idea what it was, probly some pasta sauce or something.

Tried and failed. Could not establish any flow after letting any trub settle.
