Hi, i am currently in a situation where i could get actual flasks, but id have to order them off the net, im kind of in a small town area. what kind of stores supply these, or is there anything that i can use to replace the flask that is readily available or cheap. if not its no big deal, ill get a flask

unless you are in texas ordering glass is not a big deal ...one word e-bay

as for getto glass you can use about any clear beer bottle wine bottle , you know what i mean.. make it clear so you can see what is going on.

thanks a bunch, come to think of it, 40 oz beer bottles sound like they would work fine. make a stopper for it and swiv will be set

hi vegas--i spoke with cheesy 3 posts down on the reaction vessels we use down here--for the birch only though--and if your in a small town --travel to get what you need--and if its being delivered make sure the parcel comes in an unmarked box without the glassware supply companies logo on it--gossip in a little town is woefull--good luck

swim uses a 250ml flask w/ rubber stopper (rubber cork w/ hole for tubing) for bubbling, but swim thinks beer bottles are bettter, as so if it breaks it is less to replace as far as money goes.

ohh, and also if you say that you can get flasks, get a 22liter triple neck....hehehe...and 10 for me also. peace..

one for me to please

Why not use light bulbs? beer bottles are not heat resistant.

huh,light bulbs--god i love this forum--all the things i hear of that i would never think of--just actually what do you use these light bulbs for---dont you shudder at the thought of having 20 grands worth of product in such a thinned walled container--but who am i to question what my friends have never experienced--yet the fragility of the light bulb would lead me to at least try for something structurally stronger

light bulbs will handle the heat but not the internal pressures of a rxn. flasks from 250 ml to 1000 ml can be had at any beer and wine making supply shop.

holy fuck lol SWIM just noticed that you said 20 grand worth of product in a light bulb man that light bulb would have to be 3 feet tall and big around as a basketball. shakes head, laffin , damn

nah wicked, from what ive viewed from afar--and what friends tell me--in a far west spot on ozzy island--the crystal runs at $8000 an oz--to buy it in shot glasses rather than the whole bottle is $500 a glass--20 grand was quite conservative --a good bircher can do more than two and a half oz a cook

$8,000 an oz.! What the hell costs that much?

umm,have a guess
