Whats your favorite hole size??
    #8243731 - 04/05/08 06:44 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Just wondering what everybodys favorite hole size is for GE (gas exchange) on your jars while theyre colonizing?

I only have 4 holes in the lids probably 1/16th in. That I used to inoculate the jars, I don't know if this is sufficient for gas exchange, but I also have the lids slightly cracked for a little more exchange. The cakes seem to grow at a decent pace and they are also strong. What size hole do you use for gas exchange. I was thinking of getting some of them synthetic filter discs, they seem great for GE

peace

I use wide mouth quart jars so I use a 1/2 in. hole for my GE. Then I take wide mouth size filter discs and cut a couple up in smaller circles and seal em on my lids with slicone

I got 1 hole in my oyster cakes.
Glad polypropylene containers instead of jars.
about 1/16 th made by a red hot 18 gauge needle as I injected LC through the plastic lid.
Burnt hole was covered with micropore tape right after injection.
one inch chunk or saran wrap roll used instead of parafilm still provides some gas exchange too I think.

So you just have one 1/16th hole? How big are those containers? Do you think you get enough GE with that one hole??

This big.

They grow but I think less gas exchange may be a stimulant in some cases.
Not a lot of fresh air under a rotting log I guess.
Your results may vary.
I'm pretty patient too, I only fruit enough for a meal, that's why I still use cakes for Oysters.
They grow slow in a cool basement...when I want them to speed up they move to the kitchen and finally to a fruiting chamber (Pop bottle).
Try 4 jars with same strain and conditions but different holes, see what's best for your strain.

I am doing pint and quart jars of WBS spawn with lids as described in Doc's WBS Tek.

I have been drilling one 1/4" (or whatever bit was handy ... I think the last holes were approaching 3/8" ...) in the center of the metal lid. Hole is stuffed with polyfil. Then a piece of tyvek goes between the jar and lid (ring screws down on the tyvek).

You inoculate through the polyfil and tyvek ..... you can shake the hell out of the jar to distribute the inoculant and the grain bounces off the tyvek barrier (like a drum skin) and never touches the polyfil.

These lids have worked well for me.

1/4" to 3/8" holes.

Wow ! Roadkill ..... you killed me!
