container for starter

What kind of a contaners can be used to make a starter in besides the flasks? I want to make a starer but my lhbs did not have any.

most people without flasks use growlers but really you can use just about anything. Clear glass if preferable but not required.

Preferably glass, but basically anything you can fit with a stopper & f-lock. I've used apple juice jars, wine bottles, beer bottles, growlers, probably some less reputable containers, too.

Any glass or strong plastic container will work that you can sanitize...I've seen all sorts.









I've used a large spaghetti sauce jar before...It worked great on my stirplate when I didn't want to use my large flask for a small amount of harvesting yeast.

I use a newcastle pint bottle.

FYI, you don't need and some would strongly suggest not putting an airlock on starters. A loose foil covering is more than sufficient. This would allow you to use just about any vessel you desire.

+1. I've used a growler and a glass juice jar.

+1 to this...the pics I pulled were from the net. I use foil on my starters.

anything you can sanitize this is what I used one of the quart and a half apple juice bottles from the Apfelwien for my Saison this was before I had a stir plate. I just kept the lid loosely on there
