So I bought 2 five Liter Erlamyer Flasks about 3 weeks ago and have done 2 staters with them. Damned nice to have a step eliminated as far as transeferring the Wort from a Pot into a 1 Gallon Plastic Jug. But, I am at a bit of a cross Roads here. I can not find a way to get the DME into the Flask with out using something. And whatever I use, I always wind up with wet DME on the item I use to pour the DME into the Flask with (Funnel, Paper Tube, Aluminum Foil). Then I wind up adding about another 1/2 liter of water into the flask to get the rest of the DME that is stuck to the Funnel (what I have chosen) into the flask. Hence, my staqrter is not where I want it to be as I am now 1/2 liter over in the water department. What am I missing here? How do you add your DME to your Erlamyer Flask?
BTW, yes I do take the Flask off the heat prior to adding the DME.
