Do you use metal lid with Tyvek?
    #12024772 - 02/13/10 10:57 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

this is a follow up to my question on forgeting to put foil over tyvek. 

I did'nt use metal lids just one sheet of tyvek.  After reading I realise I should have used lids with a couple holes in them but since I'm planning to use some mycel from a petri dish, inoculation holes were of no use.  I am now concerned about my berries drying out since I have a larger surface area with only tyvek.

Forget your grains drying out, you should worry more about shaking your grains and getting grain juice on your Tyvek, which when wet is useless as a contam barrier.

so would you say to put the lids on with a couple holes and re PC the my existing PCed berries?  I don't know if it's possible to over cook them and I don't want to start from scratch (clean, soak, boil and PC)if it's not necessary.
thanks

my last two grains i've used tyvek and feem comfortable shaking the grain..as long as moisture is correct the grain is essentially dry on the outside and doesn't hurt tyvek at all...

that makes sense.  If the moisture content isn't right I could have contam issues regardless of using the metal lid or not.  I'll see in the morning when I open the PC how the grains look and I suppose I could add a 2nd layer of tyvek over the lid and maybe wipe it down with alcohol or put some foil over half the tyvek to prevent it from drying out.
