These things are just awesome. By keeping an eye out on eBay, I have been able to aquire some of these for next to nothing. People often don't know the value of these and sell them for peanuts.
I have two kinds, the first is a 250ML steel container. It's nice when you just need a small amount of LI.
This is mine:

This container cost like $500 bucks but I got one for under $20, just had to get a lid. New parts like gaskets are only a few bucks. https://fungi.com/products/250ml-stainless-steel-eberbach-container
They fit on any Waring blender base. I picked up that lab blender dirt cheap (came with a couple 1Litre steel Eberbach containers), the really nice thing about this one is it has a seconds timer for consistency.
The next type, and I actually like this better for our purposes, are these glass 500ml ones:

Again I got this for super cheap. It needed a new lid, which I was able to get a couple for like $5. New blades are only like $20 if you need to replace it. They cost about $300 new. https://fungi.com/products/500ml-glass-eberbach-container
These are fully sterilizable. You put them through a PC cycle with desired amount of water and then simply drop in an agar wedge and blend for 2-3 seconds tops (over blending damages the myc. This is why I like the glass ones that let you see.). This gives you a sterile liquid inoculant that you can use to inoculate grain spawn or liquid cultures (which I then spin on a magnetic stir plate for a few days until it's grown).
I've talked about these before on here and I've seen people make their own versions of these using Oster blender parts which can fit in Mason jar lids, which is great! But I just figured I would make a post about this for cultivators who might not know they can be found for so cheap.
