As long as you cool the wort down before transferring to the jug, it'll work. I highly recommend Erlenmeyer flasks though. So much easier to heat, cool and pitch in the same vessel. They aren't too expensive. My LHBS sells 5000ml ones for $30.

I have used gallon water jugs for my starters for years with great results. I now have a stirplate in which I am using E flasks.
