5000 ML Flask, website shows $14.31 and my invoice shows $13.02 each. Not sure what shipping will be but 2-5000 ML flask for $26.04 shipping can be $25 and I will still be happy. https://www.midlands...TED FG4980-5000

Wow! Nice find. I couldn't find on there whether or not it is borosilicate.

I just did a google search on the model number and found this https://www.novatech...sks/FG4980-5000General DescriptionBorosilicate glass flasks are designed to give the best combination of thermal shock resistance, physical strength and resistance to chemical attack. The flasks with interchangeable joints are particularly suitable for all glass apparatus assemblies.

damn - that's an awesome deal!

They are now questioning me about what I plan to use the flask for. So, it may turn out to be a non-deal

I'd just tell them what's up. You're legal. I'm guessing they have requests from those in the drug trade. I don't have hbo but what's that show about the teacher that becomes a cook? Probably insiration for more than one.Beach

That is what I did, told them I am propagating yeast. They said OK and will be shipping them out.

Probably a CYA question to trip up the total dumb asses.Beach

Awesome! I just put in an order for two. If these come in, and are of good quality, I will send this out to the brewclub. I was just looking at 5L erlenmyer flasks, and couldn't find any cheaply.

It sounds like you might want to give them a heads up about orders coming in from homebrewers.Beach

[gnef]

I will wait for them to ask me a question. If they are informed that people are starting to buy a lot of them, they may suddenly raise the prices.

this could end up like the USDA hop starts we all ordered back on the Greenboard poor folks didn't know what hit them

[brewman]

How much was shipping?Dan

[gnef]

My invoice also showed the reduced price, and shipping for me is 15 for the two I ordered. The only thing is that they are back ordered, and they don't expect to get more in for a couple of Weeks. Total for two including shipping came out to just over $40. If they actually come in two Weeks, I will be stoked.Eta- they didn't ask me any questions, so maybe they just do that randomly to check?

hmm .. maybe I look sketchy via e-mail :scratch:For the price, I really hope this comes through.

[al_bob]

What do they cost normally? I forget. All I remember is the last one i broke I didn't replace it. Cost was a factor I'm sure. I've been using growlers for starters.
