Plastic lids ?

Does anybody just use the ball white plastic lids sold at walmart regular and widemouth variety? They are in the same section as the jars in most stores. Just wondering... didint know if you could PC them or whatnot. But metal lids just annoy me for some odd reason.

They can be used just like the metal jar lids, and some people do use them.
Someone, though I can't remember who at the moment, sold/sells jar lids like that with pre-drilled inoculation holes with self healing injector ports, for liquid culture.

I just didnt know if you could PC them or whatnot.
Plus the clangyness + rust of the metal lids gets on my nerves so im going to give them a try out.

Yes , they can be PC'ed , but canning is not their intended purpose . They're made to replace the metal lid for storage while you're eating the contents of the jar .
I use them for LC lids all the time . They have a tendency to fall off because they expand a lot more then the jar at 250 degrees . I solved this by taping them on with some micrspore tape

Hey just putting foil over the tubing is a pretty good idea. Way easier than covering the full thing.
Nice thinking Hippie

The plastic lids from fungi perfecti are particularly prone to flying off when you shake the jars, sending your grains all over the room and into the carpet. They also don't seal well. Micropore tape or parafilm should be considered a must. RR
