Brown spots in jars?
    #12048988 - 02/17/10 05:40 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

I have noticed that after I do pf cakes or grain jars that there are brown specks of something in the bottoms of the jars. I try to scrape it out with various objects, spoods, tooth pics, knife.. but I can't get them out. I have PCed them but the shit does come out or scrape off. What do you guys do?

The jar lids are also getting rusty looking. I have heard that they can be used more than once...how many times do you use the lids and screw caps? -MYK

the little flaky things are flakes of verm that get caked onto the surface of the glass.  you can get rid of the rust by soaking your jars and lids in bleach water after each use and wiping them down well. you can use the lids and bands many, many times if you take care of them.

But you'll never see me following
Bouncing back and forth between the healing and the hollering
Riding the outer ring of my own private saturn
Thoughts scattered all across the grey matter

I scrub jars out with a brush. Lids get reused until they get rusty enough that I toss them.

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

Thank you for the comments. I have been thinking about going to plastic lids but they are spendy. I also had trouble figuring out what size the lids were compared to the jars. I think I saw some on the  mycosupply site that said they fit a 88mm jar mouth. -MYK
