Inoculation Question:)
    #14187103 - 03/26/11 02:22 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

so I've run into a question. After inoculating my BRF jars do I replace the foil or tape or just leave the holes open? I've been looking everywhere with no avail:(

well, i have asked the same question man, and what i got was this:
leave it on to prevent contam..
the dry verc should protect it.. ie, leave the tape off for gas exchange..
and...use some micropore tape from 3M..

not a straight answer yet...sorry

What I do is, I just nail some small holes in the metal canning lids (through which I inoculate the jars).  Tape up, steam sterilize, let cool, then remove tape and inoculate.  After inoculating, I tape over the holes again (with ordinary masking tape, it really doesn't matter.  Except any sort of plastic-y tape will be hard to peel off without it falling apart into all sorts of annoying little strips, in my experience). 

I leave the tape on for a few days until there is visible germination.  Then, I take the tape off to let it start getting some free air exchange.  If you want to use micropore tape, then you can get the best of both worlds, but I don't think it's necessary.  I've only had 1 contam out of ~20 jars done so far with my method.

Id go with microspore tape. I did it without my first time and had a ton of contams, im sure there was other reasons why but the tape would have helped.

Just like RR's videos say... put the foil on before you sterilize them, to keep the steam out and the water in.  Take it off to 'noc them up, and then leave them alone until they've been 100% colonized for a week.

take off the foil. The dry verm layer is your filter. Trust me it works.  I thought it sounded risky too, but its not.

After innoc, no tape, no foil. Leave them open. They need to breath!
