Borosilicate Glass Erlenmeyer flasks - good prices and indicated quality

[kimosabby]

Ladies and gents,

ordered a borosilicate glass Erlenmeyer flask 3000ml £26.36 from these people as going into the voodoo world of liquid yeast

Wide range and great prices; what I like is its coming from a lab/science company so I believe the quality is as indicated and they sell proper lab stuff. Stir plates are too high price though

Prices a bit more competitive ?

unless you want unknow origin potential imitation; i would rather pay more and have the confidence to know going from hot to cold will not result in my starter ending up on the floor particularly on brew day.

I looked at cream supplies and the disclaimer about heat baove 150C put me off; also they didn't have 3000ml flasks which was the deal breaker; 2000ml will be too small. When I spoke to Kings Scentific they advised that the direct heat followed by hot to cold was not an issue for these flasks

Fair enough

Ive not not had any issues. From stove to ice bath. All stamped borosilicate.

I’ve followed other links on the forum @foxbat to the site.

Happy brewing

you can't argue with that shame cream supplies don't do a 3000ml

whats the best price you seen for 3000ml

It was £7.99 on Cream Supplies.

Currently out of stock - often the case.
5L are even rarer on there.
Further reassurance for you - I received one flask with a small chip on the opening. An emailed photo to inform them and a replacement arrived the next day - FOC of course

If Cream Supplies are out of stock then Cole Parmer are competitive as long as you don't need it immediately as they are currently showing a 14 day lead time on all the big flasks.

Yes I rang them and it is a couple of weeks. Was hoping to get it on this weekend. Again another lab company where quality feels assured

I got a couple of 2L flasks from this eBay seller REX sientific | eBay Stores and can’t fault them.

The difference in price between one and two was minimal and it looks the same for 3L flasks too. £23 for one, £30 for two, delivered.
