LIDS LIDS LIDS QUESTIONS QUESTIONS QUESTIONS
    #25096724 - 03/28/18 09:55 AM (6 years, 2 days ago)

I want to know what is considered the best and safest 1pint lid for grain to grain transfers when using a SAB. (Still Air Box for rookies here)

Right now, lids are Metal Ball lids with 3 holes drilled.  Tyvek underneath and 3M microspore tape over the top of the holes.  When I do Grain to Grain transfer I unscrew the lids gently in the SAB then quickly crack lid and toss in grains.

This has been working OK, but the tyvek eventually has to be replaced and so does the microspore.  After two PCs, I can't be sure to trust the tyvek or microspore to keep contams out.

Anyone have any advice on creating lids that are long lasting?

Miropore is not sufficient. Use polyfill, felt or SFD (good to best)

Synthetic filter discs are real nice. But they cost a bit.

In my opinion it doesn't any better than fungi perfecti plastic lids with a hole drilled in them and a snug SFD underneath.

Yes, I use tyvek under the entire bottomside of the lid.  It's a waste, but what's nice about that is when you unscrew the lid, it lifts the whole otp lid up so I can one hand unscrew and use the other to make the transfer.

Ah yea, I saw their site.  Rusting lids are another problem.  The Ball lids also have a tendency to bend and pop in and out when you don't want them doing that.  Like in my SAB!

Are you doing G2G with your lids?  You drop them in that tiny whole on top?

Man, cover that bottom with tyvek!  lol

Anyway, I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy 100 of these plastic lids.  They seem pretty OK.  I'll probably stick with what I got for now.  Probably buy more tyvek and microspore for 15$.  Just a lot of work having to re-do lids every 2 PC.  wah wah wah

In that case I would probably create new lids just for that.  We'll see.  You may be right.
