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.

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.

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.
