Masking tape on grain jars
    #14109598 - 03/12/11 03:41 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I was thinking. For PF tek I used masking tape to cover the holes, then after 35% colonization I removed the tape. Would this work for grain substrates? Or is it too risky? The jars would need to be kept inside a clean container. I personally would rather use micropore tape (I have some), but could masking tape be used?

love you guys
(much respect RR :rockon:)

I don't understand why you need tape at all...Aluminum foil during cooking, then remove and incubate after inoculation. Simple...

he's not using a silicon injection port, so he'll have to cover the hole with tape afterwards....

is what i was thinking.

Go to Walmart, or any craft shop and pick up a large bag of polyfil for around 4 dollars. It's a lifetime supply if you are making filter lids for jars. Or rip open a polyester stuffed pillow. This is the easiest lid at the best price that comes to mind.

Not too sure about pc temps being ok for masking tape. For covering inoculation holes masking tape should work though, but micropore is better.

I would not remove the tape during colonization, as you do with PF TEK. PF TEK jars benefit from a verm filter layer while grain jars typically don't. 

Polyfill is infact plastic but it works great for gas exchange. You can buy it at craft stores if you hate megalomart.

The silicone method Biologys mentioned works great too.
But hey what do I know. Good luck.
