      That's a good price. I paid just over R800

        220 mm Diameter x 50 mm Neck Diameter x 365 mm Total length

        Is that fine for instance on the INTLLAB? I placed an order for one, not sure which shipping method they decided on yet.. eish.

          It fits with the sides hanging over. I normally just put 2 cling wrap rolls either side just incase.

            If you can try and get the Wide neck flask. it just make's it easier to clean or even try and get a Beaker

            Low Form Beaker with Spout – Vitraform Glassware

            I'm not sure why everyone(myself included) went with the difficult to clean erlenmeyer flask. It sucks to clean and is a pita to work with much easier to just have a nice big mouth that you can stick a wash cloth in to clean

              Yeah the beakers seem like the easier and cheaper option, I was wondering about the cleaning of the flasks...

                  That's how it hangs over. First one going.

                      Awesome. I hope for your sake. Just a tip. Start making your bank with the yeasts that have the earliest best before date.

                            This is really tempting, especially at that price.

                            Almost not worth DIY. I have everything to build a stir plate, tried doing it, but had a hard time getting the balance right, so gave up temporarily. This has me thinking and at the price and the cost of yeast, the stir plate would probably pay for itself quickly.

                            What do you guys think of the product's quality and how does it work?

                              Works perfectly well. Even with a 5L flask.
                              Quality is great as well. Use mine a lot.
