I bought my PF jars from morrisons. Morrison's brand organic jam's. Even made with fair trade sugar :wink:. Were cheaper then the BM jams from there and cheaper then at tesco. And there were no glass jars at my asda suitable for pf tek. I went for the glass as I'm trying to do everything as organic as possible.

First Post! Go me!

Sorry for the noob question. I'm from the us living in the UK. and this whole not getting rubbing alcohol is confusing. Can I use surgical spirits in its place? I tried it on a camera lens..... That was a mistake. I'm guessing that the gums in it left residue on the lens. I got if off eventually. Oh lessons learned. This is a good thread. Think there is and need to have out own section or anything? Some items either aren't available or have different names.

Thanks everyone

Some one had told me that I could get it from a chemist. I tried a few in town. I asked for isopropyl alcohol and they were like "wtf are you on about" :P Might have been the american accent. Wonder if i ask for IPA if it would make a difference? anyone know if chemists carry it?

I did ask for rubbing alcohol at first. When they didn't seem to know what I was talking about, I gave them more info hoping they could help me.

I couldn't find it and wanted to nok today. I sprayed and wipes everything down with spray dettol, crept for jar holes and needle. Flamed it till glowing red though thoroughly. Did my first nok on 10 pf cakes make with organic rye flour. I did half with a b+ spore print, and half with a goodie from AndyMc, cheers for that man.

really excited to see how it comes out. Fingers crossed on no contams. I did .5cc in each of 4 holes for 4 jars and used 1cc in the last jar. I left 1cc in syringe, wondering if it its enough to use as a mother for more? I'm assuming that it is. I'll look into it more next week. Just been a bit busy. I have to be a bit careful atm though. I'm living with the parentals till I get my work visa and step dad isnt too stoked on me growing. Trying to ease him into it. Cant really do it behind his back and rather have the respect there. Think i can get him to be ok with it. Just need to grow some nice shiitake or somethin tasty like that so that he gets some out of it as well :P So i dint know if i should be keeping needles in the fridge atm. going to keep em in a cool dark place for now :smile:

Is that turpentine? Can also get Methylated spirits. And something else that is clear colored and sold as turpentine substitute, or something along those lines. Usually sold by paint. Used for removing paint I think. Anyone able to clarify this as I'm not 100% positive on names or spelling.

well its purple so they maybe put either dye in it or something else that is probably not that cool. I'm trying to keep my grow as organic as possible. Not even letting it come in to contact with plastic except for syringes where needed of course. Anyone know exactly whats in meths spirits?

I've passed through, never stayed.
But that doesn't mean I'm completely ignorant.
Certainly not as ignorant as some.
If you want to waste your money on crap you don't need, that's fine. I'm outta here.




Sorry if my post came off as abrasive, I was only curious since it says Colorado as your location. When I posted I was  wondering if you were from UK now living in US.

You've been very helpful in this thread, and I'm sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intention.

I'm wanting to do some lids with silicone. I keep hearing rtv. guessing this is what I want to use for the heat. Also I'm using metal lids. Does it not stick as well to the metal? I'm weird about plastics, let alone heating them. Call me old fashioned, just not into it. Feel safer with glass since its inert, and metal cause usually it just oxidizes. Opinions?

Also where can I get a cheap large say 60 mil syringe? Also regular needles will fit on em right?( I'm assuming all needles attachments are the same size can some one enlighten me?)

:EDIT:

Also wheres the cheap place to get karo? I'm thinking about using organic agave since I already have it.(for LC of course)

cheers dude. Pretty excited, Still waiting for the jars to colonize. Not sure if they're 100% though. there are single bits of verm stuck to the glass that isn't colonizing. theres also a bit of sitting water on the bottom. just a few drops around the out sides. Is that cool? Sorry a bit of topic I know.

When the go all white, you gotta wait a week anyway :thumbup:

That verm is probably from the dry verm barrier, try not to more the jars too much as disturbance of the barrier leads to unhappiness. A few drops of water are fine, its a minor.


http://www.barnitts.co.uk/products/details/9382.html
I'm thinking of these any one used them for cake making.




Well I have a few that are mostly all white except for a bit on the bottom center. Almost thought about turning the jar over to let it get off the glass and maybe dry a tiny bit. Not so much dry, but more like get standing water off of it. And Yeah I already lost one to contam, so I try to move as little as possible.

And I almost bought those jars, then went around the shops and found jam at Morrison's for £1.59 a jar. Jars just like the Bonne Maman jars, except they have a black lid. Its even organic and fair trade, Right up my alley :wink::thumbup:

I bought a bunch of those (mine are a less tapered but same size, from the same shop).  I found them to be a bit too small for cakes.  I'm sticking with Sainsbury half-pint drinking glasses with foil lids, though the Bonne Maman jars look good too.

These jars are OK for making grain LCs though.  I could probably give you a few (unused) to try out as I bought 2 dozen and it's too many.




Your a proper nice guy Andymc.

I'm going to do a grain LC in 250 ml salsa jars. fit nice in the mini fridge :P Just trying to decide on some lids now. I got silicone but no filter material. Thinking I might just go B and Q  and get a tyvek suit, and use that.
