I picked up a couple of 5L flasks and the best price I was able to find was a homebrew4less.com. Might want to check them out to see if they carry 4L (or just get the 5L)

I had my LHBS order me a 5L Bomex flask. I boil my starter right in it and transfer straight to the ice bath. It's been great, but not cheap.....

I personally can't justify the cost of a 4-5 L flask, so I use 1 gal glass jugs. $40 buys a lot of ingredients.

All of my glass jugs have a concave bottom and I couldn't get the stir bar to stay on.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that you need some decent magnets to make this work. A salvaged hard drive magnet probably won't do the trick. I bought a little package of rare-earth magnets at the hardware store. They're the size of a button battery but lift something like 12 lb, and they can spin a 25 mm bar through the bottom of a carboy.
