Reddit reviews 2000ml Narrow Mouth Erlenmeyer Flask, 3.3 Borosilicate Glass, Karter Scientific 213G15 (Single)

While I agree with /u/BaggySpandex that additional surface area for air transfer is a benefit, the best part about Erlenmeyer Flasks and a stir plate is you can boil and cool the wort directly in the Erlenmeyer--no need to sanitize a jar, boil in a pot and then cool and transfer. Constant stirring results in more yeast cells and increased vitality.

2L Erlenmeyer flasks are only $19 on Amazon. If you have access to a spare 8v power supply and an old computer, you can built a stir plate with a computer fan, hard drive magnet.

I have this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006UKI8XK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And haven't had issues with it throwing my stir bar
