Reusing White Labs vials.

Vanilla bean, halved and split, in brandy.

I like to clean them, fill them with premium Tequila and quickly invert them into an icy Margarita, letting the fine liquor slowly drain out as I sip. It makes a cool presentation for a Mexican themed cocktail/dinner party.

The vials are quit nice once the label and glue are cleaned off, and are great for small clean storage or extracts,- or margarita makers. Would like to read what other folk may have used them for. --Mark F.--

If you need a lot of them, you can buy them on Amazon. They are bottle preforms.

I've used them for liquid cooking ingredients when backpacking, where weight and space leans away from bring the full syrup or ketchup bottles.

May I start out by saying that I have only ever used dry yeast and then just sent them on their way after the deed was done. If I were to get in the habit of saving some of my soldiers could you store them in the vials again after cleaning or is that a big no no?

Someone just recently recommended I use a white labs vial to test for "too much CO2" in my homemade wine. Take a sample of wine, cap, shake....if there is a hiss- too much CO2. Going to try this soon.

The vials work pretty good as a condom.

Washed and sanitized, They should be ready to go again. --Mark F.--

They have pills that can help you with your E.D.

Awesome thanks, I will have to give this a try after my next brew.

Thats what I used them for. Ive started a yeast library with them.

I used one the night I got to taste Heady Topper to steal the dregs to capture some Conan.
I have seen them used as cool looking grain/hops/beer filled tap handles.
Definitely am going to steal the tincture/extract making idea.
With how thick walled they are, they should be perfect for freezing yeast.

Also, for easy removal of the adhesive, you still cannot beat WD-40 and a paper towel.

Send them to me so I can have a brew day with Chris White. I only need another 4,985!
