cleared some space. I'm at work all day today so I can't get quotes out. Will get them tomorrow. Again sorry for the delay.
 
If you have any 4L flasks left, I'll take one shipped to 19403.
Please send me a pm with total and paypal address.

Thanks,
 
wegz15, I left you a PM over the weekend. Hopefully you got it and we can arrange pickup for the 4L. Thanks!
 
Why do people choose to use these, as opposed to a growler? Any benefits?

They can be direct heated which results in less chances of contamination of starter wort. They're mostly immune to temp shock so you can cool quickly in an ice bath. Most have measurements so you know exact liquid amounts. Just to name a few.
 
I paid for 2 of the 4L flasks.

You can use direct heat to heat them but I wouldn't use an electric stove to do it. I did that before and with the element it gets hot spots. That stresses the glass in just one place and bang right on the stove the bottom falls off. Now i use a heated stirplate and all is good.

I have heard of people getting around that with an old pan with some sand in it...
 
I hear putting the flask in bigger pot with a water bath works as well for those who have electric stoves. I haven't tried it myself but plan to the next time I don't feel like using the side burner on my grill.
 
I bet that if you had just a cast iron fry pan that would be good too. I just like the stir plate because you don't have to worry about a boil over as much.
 
Hello,
If you still have (2) 2 liter, a 500mL, and a 250mL shoot me your paypal address and I will get the $$ right out to you.
Thanks,
Walter
 
wegs, your inbox is full again, but I can come by and pick them up anytime this week. Would prefer something during the day and not during traffic if possible, let me know some times that would work for you.

Thanks!
