Erlenmeyer Flask - 2000 mL

    Description

    These Erlenmeyer flasks help the best brewers to make large yeast starters to get their beer fermenting fast. Large populations of active yeast help ensure a healthy fermentation, free of off flavors. One of our favorite things about the Erlenmeyer flasks is that you can boil your starters directly in them!

    Our large 2000ml Erlenmyer Flask is the ideal vessel to make a large yeast starter for 5 gallon lagers and high gravity brews. Because it is made from borosilicate glass you can move it from a boil on your gas stove into a cold water bath for cooling, without the risk of cracking. (We do not recommend the use of an electric element. If this cannot be avoided, we recommend using a larger pot as a hot water bath on the stove.) This means you can do the whole process in one container, keeping it simple and helping to reduce the risk of contamination when transferring from one container to another.

    Recommended Process for Use of Flask:
    Double Boiler Method

    It is important for your safety to heat water in the flask with a heat source that distributes heat evenly. Our manufacturer has confirmed that direct heat to the glass can break down its integrity and break if the heat source doesn't distribute evenly.

    Morebeer! recommends using the "double boiler method." This process involves using a boiling water bath on the outside of the flask to heat up the water inside the flask. All you need is a kettle 3 gallons or larger. This process is much safer and efficient. If the flask should break or boil over, your kettle will be there to collect the contents, thus keeping your stove clean and keeping you away from potential harm.

    Features

    • Massive 2L (2000mL) Capacity
    • Made from Borosilicate Glass
    • Fantastic price for a flask of this size
    • Produced for MoreBeer!
    • 6.5" base 2.5" top 10.75"H

    Why make a yeast starter? (from our FAQ)
    We build starters for 3 main reasons. First, to ensure yeast health. By making a starter 1-3 days in advance, you ensure that your yeast is healthy and strong and ready to do its job. Second, to create more yeast. By making the starter you will increase the cell count of the yeast, giving you a better chance of keeping bacteria's and wild yeasts from fermenting your wort. Third, if you are making high gravity beers. If you are making a high gravity beer (1.060+) you will need more yeast to start the ferment faster. High gravity beers will also finish more completely when you pitch ample quantities of yeast.

    In the lab world, these flasks are known as "Student Grade". A great flask for making yeast starters!(Student grade is not the highest grade flasks and will have minor defects)

        Perfect Tool

        This flask is the perfect size and material with which to make a five gallon yeast starter. Convenient to use as the glass can go right on the open flame stove. Quality is excellent.

        Flask for yeast starters

        Well it does hold what it says. I don't boil in them so can't say. It scares me to put on flaming stove top. Base may be too large for some stir plates. 2000ml base 4.75''- 5'' w

        Erlenmeyer flask works great

        I have used this flask twice now to do a yeast starter for homebrewing beer. I have been able to use the flask directly on a stove top burner and directly cool in an ice bath. I also use a stir plate and it works great. There were some other comments that the curved bottom inside the flask prevented the stir bar from staying centered. I have not experienced that; the bar has remained in place and continued to create a nice vortex in the wort.

        Works as expected.

        I've made a starter with this, on a stir plate, and it worked fine. Looks like it will be easy to clean with a bottle brush.

        Better Yeast Starters

        When combined with a stir plate great for making starters for most strength beers. High gravity lagers need a bigger flask or to do two step starter

        Perfect size for a 5gal batch

        If I'm doing a 10gal batch, I use two of these. Its definitely nice to be able to do starters in a single vessel and avoid additional opportunity for contamination by transferring to another vessel. Handles going straight from a boil on the stovetop directly into the freezer to cool down before pitching yeast.

        Good value

        I bought 2 after I broke the one I had for years. Works as designed and the best price I found for this size.

        Erlenmeyer flask does great job for yeast starters

        I've been using these for years & this one from More Beer does the job. Tempered glass helps it last a long time, as long as I don't burn the bottom!

        Great for yeast starters and blowoff tube jar

        I bought this to make yeast starters. I works great. Just a heads up though, if you fill it to the level you want before you boil the water, there will be MUCH less.Also you it to create an airlock with my blowoff tube. The neck is wide enough to let air escape, but the shape holds the tube well and with the wide base, doesnt tip over

        High quality flask for yeast starters

        Really sturdy flask that I use for all my yeast starters. Just my little tip on starters, I start to boil the DME/water mixture in a large pot so that when the hot break (yes, you still get one with DME) happens it won't make a mess. After the hot break, I pour the wort into this flask (using BE490 funnel) and top off with a little more boiling water. And then, since it's borosilicate glass, you can move it from the boil into a cold water bath for cooling.

        Yeast starters make all the difference.

        I really didn't get my beers to turn out properly until I started making a yeast starter. This flask makes it easy. Proper size for a 5 gallon batch. and great quality for the price, too.

        Does Exactly What It's Supposed To!

        This is my go-to flask for starters, and it has always performed exactly how it is supposed to through about 15+ batches so far. One of the best priced value flasks available!

        Not the greatest gradation marks but great value for the price.
