so I just finished making a bunch of pf tek brown rice flower jars... sterilized them, waited for them to cool.
go to inoculate them and the fucking holes in my lids are too small for my syringe needle
what do you guys use to poke your holes?... I used a thumb tack and a hammer, only shit I had available
fuck I am so pissed off right now
what a waste of fuckin time and vermiculite

Open the holes more, and re-sterilize? Why not?

you can disinfect the nail really good and make it bigger because the nail only has to go in a little to make the hole bigger. tap softly just to widen it a little and wear gloves. you should be fine if not just re-boil it or re-pressure cook it after making the holes bigger.

Hahahaha... I'm sorry... I had the EXACT same issue when I did my very first jars. Now you know better. It's a mistake you can only make once

Simple solution.
Take the jar lid of in a glovebox. Make the hole bigger and give both sides of the lid a wipe with IPA just incase (probably not realy needed since you have a filter - the dry verm layer)

I did that but with a nail that was too small! you know i shoved the needle on in through the hole and it was so sharp it went on through! just dint break your needle unless you have another one! Or you can flame a nail and just work it by hand to widen the hole first! Good Luck!

I had the same problem my first time. If you happen to have one of those small swiss army type knives they usually have a long straight pointy blade(not really a blade, it's an awl for punching leather and stuff) i stuck it in the started hole and just gave it a couple twists back and forth and the hole opened up enough for the needle to fit.

im pretty sure you have a small square screw driver around somewhere, use that to make the holes bigger, infact there are so many things you can use in a household just use your brain, and like veda said you got your verm layer filter so why worry, rub everything with alcohol and your set, and relaaxxxxeee, take it easy!!!

get yourself a cheap plastic cutting board that's like at least a 1/4" thick.
buy one of these (scratch awl)
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00941028000P?keyword=Scratch+Awl
you can hammer this through probably 10 lids at a time, all on top the cutting board. the scratch awl will get stuck when you're all the way through. just pull it out and do your next holes.
