So thought I ordered a 1000ml flask off northern brewer, but I looked at my order online and it wasn't there. So I'm planning a beer this coming week and wanted to try a starter of some of the yeast I washed a few weeks ago.
Can I boil my starter wort in a pot on the stove, cool it, then use a 2 liter bottle (sanitized of course) for growing out the yeast?
I know I'd have to chill the wort before putting it in the thin plastic bottle. I would drill a hole in the lid and put a ale-pale grommet in the hole for the air lock.
Any down side in doing it this way?
