One last thing: cleaning that thing would be risky. Definitely don't stick a bunch of fingers in there to work a sponge as when that crack lets go it'll be a trip to the ER for sure...

Cheers!

You know, when I first clicked on this thread I thought it was from the Boneyard. Sort of glad it wasn't.

Negative.... Google 5000 ml

look at the picture..... The thing is literally bigger than a gallon of milk..... Huge......

Do you mean that is not 500.0ml printed on the flask?

 

[day_trippr]

No doubt that's what he means.

Look closer and you'll see lots of cruddy dots all over that flask.
And I've never seen a flask that large with a decimal point. That'd be silly...

Cheers!

If you don't heat sanitize, you're fine. It won't "harbor nasties" if you do even a halfassed job of sanitizing.

That said, if you don't need it for a stir plate or something, dang, get a 1 gallon carboy. They cost nothing. Or rather, as much as a gallon of cider. Plus you get some cider. Realistically you can probably get a good stir going in one of those, too. I swear half the appeal of the flasks is looking like a mad scientist.

I agree. If there's a place that starsan can't get into, how would anything else get in there?

I use 1 gallon pickle jars. They work great on my stir plates with a 1" stir bar.

It's a cracked, filthy, antique. Don't waste your money.
