It isn't very often that you find Glass Milk Bottles these days. In fact, I am pretty sure that if I wanted milk delivered to my door I would be waiting an awfully long time (besides, some kids would probably nick it!)
I was very surprised when I saw an empty bottle sat on a desk at work (although it had contained fresh orange rather than milk).
Looks perfect making a yeast starter in. It has now been bagged (I was polite enough to ask if I could have it first - lots of curiosity as to why I wanted it). Will probably make my starter on Wednesday ready for Friday.
It looks like it should take a rubber bung with no problems and it should easily fit in the fridge door (even with airlock). Just need to find my airlock now!

Good find 
When I made starters from dried yeast in the past I used an empty milk bottle I <ahem> found outside someone's house. Worked a treat - the hole was a perpect size for a bung and airlock. These days I just sprinkle the stuff onto the wort, wait, and then stir in. The milk bottle just sits there, unused, in my office amongst all the other brewing cr4p I've accumulated.
