PCing substrate, tight/loose jar lids? & tape
    #14252991 - 04/07/11 12:57 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

My lids on my 1/2 pint jars of substrate were air tight and the holes were taped, then covered with tin foil, and pressure cooked for 90 minutes.

My question is this, some people say the jars need to be air tight to stop the steam from gettn the dry verm wet and others say the lid should be loose allowing the substrate to sterilize, I had mine air tight just wondering if they should be sterile?

Yesterday I sterilized ten jars and didn't tape the holes, and after posting on here what I had done I was told that I should start over with new substrate because I didn't tape the holes and now the substrates water level could be off so I threw all that substrate away and started over.. Now I'm like what the hell because I'm being the lids should have been loose and tape isn't required only tin foil.

Someone draw the line!


Here's the link without the tape.

They wouldn't be air tight either way they have holes in the lid!

unless you see pooling at the bottom of your jars, I'd be willing to bet that you're jars are perfectly fine..


I crack my jar lis when PC'n and having foil  then soon as done sterilizing i'll close the lid good an tight..I also leave the foil on until I nocc up my jars, then remove it..
