At first I remember having issues with boil-over, and eventually started using a tequila bottle per an RR tek I remember reading.
anyone used Wine bottles or growlers?
what works for you?

Soy sauce bottles. They're small enough to fit in the microwave if you need to reheat them.

These have holes in the caps with tyvek in them to release the pressure. If you don't have something like that you need to leave the caps loose.

ok that makes sense. I used to use polyfill and foil on mine for that.
Maybe I can just modify the cap on the growler with a part of a SFD for air flow

I use a liquor bottle too. But I like this idea. But are you saying you microwave to melt the agar after youve already poured? No PC cycle?
This is what I use

I'm currently using a cuervo silver bottle with a SFD installed over a 1/4" hole in the cap. It was the only clear bottle that I had on hand at the time with a metal cap that I knew would survive the pc cycle. Works really well.
I might use my 1.75L bottle of spirytus rektyfikowany for an even larger agar vessel. Clear bottle with metal cap. Then I can pour 2 sleeves of dishes at a time. But it may be a bit cumbersome at that size. Gonna deffinatley give it a try when the bottle is empty, just got the bottle the other day though and I don't actually drink the stuff. I should have through about this before I recycled the last bottle. LoL

Yes, it only needs to be pressure cooked once. So if you have any leftover in the bottle after pouring or if you don't get around to using it before it solidifies you can use the microwave to melt it again.
