I was at the store today when I spied some Martinellies (sp? too lazy to get up and check) apple juice in 1.5 liter narrow mouth glass bottles. Started thinkin'.....hmmmm. might make good starter flasks.
So I bought a couple and opened one up and lo and behold, my carboy stoppers just fit. So I'm gonna finish these off and clean the bottles and use for starter flasks. Granted, I can't just put H2O and DME in and heat in them, but I can always heat in a saucepan, cool and funnel into them.
And at 5 bucks each, a bit more affordable than a Pyrex flask.
What does others use for flasks?? I can't be the only cheap ass hillbilly on this site.
