MoreBeer 5L/5,000 mL Erlenmeyer Flask – $24.99! via MoreBeer’s Black Friday Sale

Erlenmeyer Flask – 5000 mL via MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

This Erlenmyer flask is huge, coming in at 5000 ml (5L!), making it the ideal vessel to make a large yeast starter for a 10+ gallon batch. The best brewers make large yeast starters to get their beer fermenting fast, and most of them do so in an Erlenmeyer flask. Large populations of active yeast help ensure flavorful beer free of off flavors. Because this flask is made from borosilicate glass you can move it from a boil into a cold water bath for cooling. This means you can do the whole process in one container, keeping it simple and helping to reduce the risk of contamination when transferring from one container to another.

Double Boiler Method
It is important for your safety to heat water in the flask with a heat source that distributes heat evenly. Morebeer! recommends using the “double boiler method.” This process involves using a boiling water bath on the outside of the flask to heat up the water inside the flask. All you need is a kettle 3 gallons or larger. This process is much safer and efficient. If the flask should break or boil over, your kettle will be there to collect the contents, thus keeping your stove clean and keeping you safe.

Safety First: Please take us up on a great deal – save $14.95 when you purchase a 5000ml flask and our BE300 5 gallon stainless steel kettle at the same time. Use Promo code SAFETY1 at checkout.

Features

Massive 5L (5000ML) Capacity
Made from Borosilicate Glass (also known as Pyrex)
Fantastic price for a flask of this size
Produced for MoreBeer!

Why make a yeast starter? (from our FAQ)
We build starters for 3 main reasons. First, to ensure yeast health. By making a starter 1-3 days in advance, you ensure that your yeast is healthy and strong and ready to do its job. Second, to create more yeast. By making the starter you will increase the cell count of the yeast, giving you a better chance of keeping bacteria’s and wild yeasts from fermenting your wort. Third, if you are making high gravity beers. If you are making a high gravity beer (1.060+) you will need more yeast to start the ferment faster. High gravity beers will also finish more completely when you pitch ample quantities of yeast.

Black Friday! MoreBeer’s Black Friday Sale is live! They are discounting over 150 products by up to 50%. They are also doing some special limited availability Daily Deals.

Looking for a compatible Stir Plate? A lot of the Stir Plates that are available to homebrewers, at what I would call a reasonable cost, seem to generally top out of 2L. Check out the StirStarter XL. It is rated for up to 5L flasks. As of this posting it’s on sale for $68. That includes free shipping to addresses in the US.

6 Pack of Stir Bars by SEOH – use for yeast starters

6 Pack of Magnetic Stir Bars by SEOH. PTFE 6 x 25 mm (about an inch).

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

A general purpose stir bar that provides better mixing than cylindrical stirrers. An Alnico V magnet is encapsulated with a two step process, compression and isostatic encapsulation, to eliminate cracks and porosity. Each stir bar is polished to reduce the potential for contamination. PACK OF 6

Use along with an Erlenmeyer Flask and Stir Plate to do Stir Plate Yeast Starters.

What are others saying? Search this product’s Amazon reviews for “brew” – affiliate link, note that multiple variations of this product may be available, as such a different version may appear at this link

Why a Stir Plate? The constant motion of a stir plate integrates oxygen, puts yeast in constant contact with nutrients, relieves built up CO2 and generally helps yeast to grow more rapidly. That also means smaller starters. Why get 6? Generally, you’re going to save money buying in bulk. Having these on hand allows you to do multiple starters at once and… you’ll have spares if you mistakenly dump your stir bar into your fermenter.

I have this stir bar and it works great. The vortex to the right was created with the help of this stir bar. See: The HBF Stir Plate Mounting-Thingy for more info.

7. Low temperature resistance: good mechanical toughness, even if the temperature dropped to -196 ¡æ, can also maintain a 5% elongation
8.No adhesion: with the smallest surface tension in the solid material, no adhesion to any substance
9.Weather resistance: long-term exposure to the atmosphere, the surface and performance remain unchanged, there is B06B plastic in the best aging life
10.Non-toxic: with physiological inertia, as artificial blood vessels and organs long-term implanted in vivo no adverse reactions

Use this in combination with an Erlenmeyer Flask and Stir Plate to make a yeast starter. A stir plate… keeps yeast in constant contact with nutrients, encourages CO2 to off gas and continuously incorporates oxygen all of that means higher cell counts.

I use an Ove Glove when I’m making yeast starters in an Erlenmeyer Flask. It’s really handy (pun intended) to swirl around the flask or to quickly remove to keep the flask from boiling over.

These are also handy on brew day for handling hot, (but not wet) ball valves and such.

These are not waterproof. Safety Note: Always use caution when handling hot items or ingredients and always read and follow manufacturer directions.
