I was chatting to homebrew west and they said they'll have 2l erlenmeyer flasks back in stock in october - I just got one on ebay from king scientific - affordable if you deliver through parcel motel

Shiny had some 3l ones. They would be better as you can actually ferment a 2l starter properly.

especially boiling dme at the start gives loads of headspace
reading a lot of articles recently that 2L starters are better overall and to pitch at high Krausen
and to use only the yeast.

Was there 4 or 5 litre flasks available in the last GB Shiny? Not enough head space in my 3 litre flask for 3 litre starters. It always makes a mess of my stir plate.
On tap: Flanders, Gose,
Fermenting: Oatmeal Brown, 200ish Fathoms,
Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

2L starters really come into their own if you use a roller mill to mill you grain.

I am gonna grind your grapes through that roller mill next time I see you :o

3 L starter  :o, you shouldn't need those now with o2 unless you are brewing 10 Gal batches?

The largest conical in the group buy was 3L. There are 5L conical's but I don't want to be encouraging that.

Rest assured stir bars are on "the list" but only one size. Will do another one in the coming months.

now he tells me I just bought a load from a Chinaman, bigger is not always best when it comes to stir bars I am finding.
