I am currently brewing a dark lager.
In the past, I have chilled some of my wort in an erlinmeyer flask to be used as a starter. My yeast starter gets busy for a couple of days whilst my wort chills in the cube (No Chill method).
The Mr Malty calculator has recommended a larger starter than can fit in my erlinmeyer flask due to it being a lager. I am using Wyeast 2000 Budvar Lager yeast.
If I use one of my 5L demijohns, will the boiling wort crack the glass? After I whirlpool, the wort is around 85 degrees when it goes into the cube.
