Borosilicate Erlenmeyer Conical Flask 500ml
This 500 ml Erlenmeyer Conical Flask made from high-quality borosilicate glass is ideal for preparing medium-sized yeast starters using a stir plate. Creating proper yeast starters helps ensure healthy fermentation and improves beer quality by preventing under-pitching and yeast stress.
Borosilicate glass offers excellent thermal resistance, allowing brewers to safely heat starter wort made with dry malt extract (DME) directly in the flask before cooling and pitching yeast.
The flask’s wide conical design promotes efficient mixing and oxygenation when used with a stir plate, making it a perfect tool for yeast propagation.
This size is particularly well suited for yeast storage or small yeast starters, where higher cell counts are required for clean fermentation.
