Safe container to propagate yeast?

[UberBrewer]

I have been planning a nice weekend of brewing and while sanitizing my supplies I broke my 2000ml Erlenmeyer flask for propagating yeast. Unfortunately I do not live anywhere near a brew shop so replacing it will take awhile. Has anyone had luck propagating yeast in any other containers?

I have used a growler, a spaghetti sauce jar, a plastic juice jug, etc. I'm pretty sure the yeast really don't care what kind of container they "do their thing" in.

As long as you can effectively sanitize it you can use pretty much anything. I do all my starters in a 1 gal glass jug, which works on my stir plate but not on all.

I have used pickle jars, mason jars, 1 gal wine bottles, Gatorade bottle, but my favorite is an old quart size milk bottle. I have thought about getting a flask but what advantage does it have over these other containers?

I have tons of growlers. Don't know why I didn't think of that before.
