Hi folks:
I was just browsing Fischer Scientific, and I noticed that 2000ml polycarbonate flasks can be had for $80/pack of 4. I have already broken 1 flask so the polycarbonate is interesting to me.
The downside is that you cant expose them to direct heat like on a stovetop. Assuming that I sanitize these things like anything else with starsan, is the heating step really necessary for starter preparation? Have any of you done this?
