Now why didn't I think of that? I could actually just use a huge zip lock bag! As a matter of fact, I have some. God, I am such a dork sometimes, it amazes me. Thanks Pauly! I am not concerned with contamination as these are seeds, therefore no filtration is needed.
Do you have any tubing? I figure that I will need to buy a stopper and a hard plastic tube a few inches long, plus about 2-3 ft of 1/4 inch tubing. Then, I will set up a CO2 generator using yeast in a pyrex or nalgene bottle. Genius!
