Use of a whiskey bottle with grain lc (tek)

The use of a whiskey bottle: -the main advantage would be it allows an easier extraction of the solution from the bottle as all the liquid pools in the lid (smaller space when compared to a jar lid thus less myc solution is wasted -may be possible to use with an lc, if a double filter of tyvek is installed -not exactly sure how the material(inside the lid, resting between the metal lid and the glass neck) creating the water tight seal will hold when pressure cooked multiple times (initially it expanded by maybe 30%, it may expand more or stay the same size?)
just thought id share an idea maybe its been discussed suggested before but i would love to hear your thoughts regardless, or be pointed in the right direction where i can read more on this particular subject

RR talks extensively about using a whiskey bottle for agar, in many posts and in his videos, but I haven't seen anyone use it for LC, especially a grain LC.
Are you recommending that the grains colonize in the whiskey jar? Seems like it would be a lot of work and tricky to load it, unload it, etc. With agar its all basically liquid, so easy to deal with the narrow neck.
Try it and let us know!

yes, colonise grains eg popcorn in the whiskey jar and proceed with the grain lc tek.
loading and unloading shouldnt be difficult, especially with 200ml/300ml sized bottles(what i was thinking of size wise).
unloading you just shake the grains out of the jar however for loading you can use a funnel of the correct size that fits, or you could even use make your own out of carboard and celotape
i thought long and hard and the only problem maybe the degration of the material(in the lid) thats used to create a water tight seal, in repeated sterilization but after a few sterilisations if the water tight seal does not hold you can dispose of it and make a new one for pennies.
from a 330ml jar you can get 200ml of solution which is plenty so one whiskey jar may be more than enough.
i think they look pretty cool and make a nice change from the standard jar shape.
