Erlenmeyer Flask - 500mL
Y410
#6.5 Stopper fits our 500ml flask
All of our flasks are made from borosilicate type glass which is nice because they can be transferred directly from heat to ice and not crack like normal glass. (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.)
Great Flask for yeast culturing.

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.
