Erlenmeyer Flask - 3000 mL

    Description

    The best brewers make large yeast starters to get their beer fermenting fast. Large populations of active yeast help ensure flavorful beer free of off flavors.

    Our large 3000ml Erlenmyer Flask is a great 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 3L (3000mL) Capacity
    • Made from Borosilicate Glass
    • Fantastic price for a flask of this size
    • Produced for MoreBeer!

    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)

        MoreBeer Stands Behind These Flasks!

        I gave this one star in another review because the bottom was not flat, but I should have waited until I reached out to MoreBeer. They said these are supposed to be flat and are sending my a new one. I tried to edit or delete my other review, but there's not an option to do this.I appreciate MoreBeer's customer service!

        Very well packed and the bottom is completely flat.

        Gets the job done!

        Not much to say. It’s a nice big flask. For high gravity beers where you’ll want 2L of starter, this is a nice option because you can boil your wort right on the stove top in the flask and then stir by hand or put on a stir plate after it cools.

        B
        Brian M.
        must have for starters

        Perfect size to make a 2L starter

        Bottom not flat

        The flask does not have a flat bottom, which can be an issue with the stir bar sliding off. On a simple water test, the stir bar stayed in place; however, I have yet to try it with a starter.On a more positive note, the flask arrived well packaged and in good condition.

        Bring on the big stuff. Big beers or lots of beer this will allow you to make a big enough start...

        Good quality thick glass which should hold up overtime. Let’s me do bigger starters.

        NOT for use with a stir plate :(

        The 3000ml flasks that are currently being shipped have a concave (not flat) bottom. If you intend to use a stir plate, this is not the flask for you. Otherwise, the flask I received is sturdy and without defects. Mike from Customer Service was professional and assisted me with the return.

        Like it more than the 2000 no flasks

        Perfect size for doing a starter. Gives more flexibility with the size of the starter needed!

        Great size and well made

        I used this to make a 2.4L starter and still had plenty of headroom. Note that a #10 stopper fits well, not a 10.5 as suggested in the Q&A section.

        small neck

        The flask is ok but I really wanted one with a larger neck sthat would take a # 10 stopper

        Love the size of the 3000 mil. flask.

        This is the best size for 10 and 12 gallon batch starters

        Very nice!

        I just unpacked and cleaned 2 of these. They are very high quality thick walled flasks. I will put them to the test!

        Does is come with a foam stopper?

        MoreBeer!

        No it does not come with a foam stopper.

        MoreBeer!

        No stopper just the flask.

        MoreBeer!

        No it does not come with a stopper.

        MoreBeer!

        It does not come with a foam stopper. I sanitize a piece of aluminum foil and loosely fit it over the mouth of the flask. This method has always worked for me.

        MoreBeer!

        No

        MoreBeer!

        Not when I purchased mine

        MoreBeer!

        It does not come with any stopper but it is a great flask. Highly recommended. I also purchased the 5000 ml at the same time and wished I’d bought 2 of the 3000 ml for doing back to back yeast batches.

        MoreBeer!

        Mine did not but a piece of tin foil sprayed with StarSan works great!

        MoreBeer!

        No you have to order the stopper separate.

        MoreBeer!

        No. I’ve tried them before. Seems like a nice idea but sanitized foil is much easier to deal with.

        What high of the flask?

        MoreBeer!

        It is approximately 13 inches tall

        MoreBeer!

        12-1/4 - 12-1/2" high

        MoreBeer!

        The flask is approximately 12.5 inches (31 cm) tall.

        MoreBeer!

        the 3000ML is 12 and 1/4 inches high. Great flask!

        MoreBeer!

        14-16 inches in that range is my guess. Not at the brewery at the moment.

        MoreBeer!

        High as "pho"

        What size stopper fits this flask?

        MoreBeer!

        #10.5 is too big for this flask - I bought one and it didn't fit. a #10 fits just right.

        MoreBeer!

        A #10.5 Stopper should fit Y440 well.

        MoreBeer!

        Sorry I use aluminum foil to cover my starters.

        Is the bottom flat? The one i have from elsewhere doesn't and it is useless on my stir plate.

        MoreBeer!

        Mine was not flat but I reached out to MoreBeer and they're sending a replacement. Great customer service!

        MoreBeer!

        Yes the bottom is flat and this will be great for making a yeast starter.
