Up and on again, got sent home sick from work, working on the next hangover! LOL Yes I tried the plastic, they work great! I just like glass better.
On a side note if you use plastic you can heat up a needle cherry hot with a torch and stick it right through the lid to inoculate!
Cool shit in my opinion.

How do you seal the lid after that then? Polyfil/micropore tape?

Isopropyl alcohol can be found at shoppers drug mart and rexall and dextrose is essentially corn sugar and can be found at bulk barn as well, they will give you the same stuff at a local home brew shop if you ask them. Also, make your own wine places may have it, and may be able to get you liquid malt extract if I that's what mean when you say malt and not the malted barley itself.

I get my alcohol and micropore tape from Shoppers Drug Mart but any drug store will obviously have it.
Every home brew place I've been to has malt and dextrose.
Now, anyone know a good place for garden Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)?

tusca was recommending local garden centers as some sell it by the 6lb box. I personally haven't been able to locate a box of gypsum myself but I am still looking, got a few more garden centers to stop in at.
Until then I just get my gypsum from a 2'x2' chunk of drywall patch that I picked up at Home Depot (before I knew about the free stickers -- d'oh). My fiance recently picked up a mortar and pestle, I've been eager to try it out for a while. Works great to break up gypsum (as long as I'm careful about not inhaling the dust).
I recall reading a post by RR where he said the garden gypsum he picks up is simply packaged crushed drywall panels as you can still see little chunks of drywall paper here and there in the gypsum.
I realize this doesn't really answer your question but I thought I'd throw it out there for anyone else following along.

Added a few ideas under local supplies. Thanks for everyones additions, this thread is going in the right direction for sure!
As well yesterday while browsing through a discount book bin I found a "Guide to Canadian Healthcare 2006-2007" That has a HUGE section in the back on suppliers of anything hospital related. I think I have struck a goldmine and will be posting some sites/ companies in the future for everyone to check out. Not bad for a $1.

Gypsum/Drywall Tek 
It works but I would rather find it already done though.

No, no coincidence.
I have never seen a bag or box of gypsum, and I've been all over Ontario. Whenever I ask for gypsum I get the WTF look like I'm from another planet. 
This is why I get on the offensive whenever someone says, "you can find gypsum everywhere in any garden centre, Home Depot, etc.
It's just plain wrong.

So I just went to go give you a good rating for starting this thread only to discover yet another restriction placed upon me! Well just know that once I finally have 50 posts under my belt(whenever that happens...) you'll get 5 from me for this awesome thread! Would have been nice to see this stickied at the top of the forum the first time I came here, very informative. Hooray for evil!
