You can't just get normal mason jars? Why do you need autoclavable lids?

mason jar lids are autoclavabile whats what canning is

 

[squeekysheep]

that is what was suggested in the thread do they make mason jars that small because i don't want anything big

 

[flyangler18]

You can get pint sized jars pretty easily. I get mine from Walmart.

these arnt autoclavable but that will work for making slants for culture storage

+1 on normal pint mason jars. A flat of a dozen pint jars is something like $10, or maybe a dime a piece at garage sales. Lids and retaining bands are cheap and the bands are reusable.

Plus you can use them to can wort (for starters) and water (for quenching hot noc loops, etc).

What about 1/2 pint canning jars? With canning season upon us, you should be able to find these in the stores. Less than $10 for 12.

+1 All about the mason jars. I pressure cook my extract in the jar then let them cool. Great for yeast build up.

 

[Joe Camel]

you can even buy 1/4 pint "gift size" mason jars. The beauty of this is that the lids are one size fits all.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but pressure canning wort is fine. No problem there, and in fact it's a good idea. Pressure canning your yeast, however, will kill it.

Sorry about the mixed up wording.

I pressure cook my extract in the jars, let cool before adding yeast for propagation and empty jars for yeast storage.
