Cover for 5000ml Flask
What do you guys use to cover these beasts? I'm using tinfoil for now but would like a stopper although none I have are big enough.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I use tinfoil (with elastic band when its sitting in the fridge for some time). Anything longer I usually use mason jars for.
my 5L measures 5.6cm inside so a #11.5 (mayb 11) stopper should fit. Noble grape has drilled ones I believe, not sure where to get undrilled..

I actually do both tinfoil and beaker. Upside beakers work better than stoppers IMHO.

Re: Cover for 5000ml Flask
Ran into a geomicrobiologist friend in the elevator at a university I was teaching at in Michigan who had a tray full of containers straight from the autoclave with just inverted petri dishes resting on top of them as lids. I commented about it, and he assured me that was fine to maintain sterile conditions. Tin foil and inverted beakers sound just fine in our context.
