Natural Fiber Filter?
    #14324465 - 04/20/11 06:44 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I'm looking for a natural fiber filter. I think micropore tape qualifies, but it's quite messy when taking it off. Any suggestions?

A couple other points
-Can you buy bees wax at the grocery store?
-Would closing a jar up until 30% colonization work? (not the best way, I know)

I used to pick up bees wax at the healthfood store.

Not sure why you would seal it till 30% though.

Synthetic filter disks last a long damn time too. Reusable.

The point of closing up until 30% would be to allow the mycelium to take hold enough before opening the inoculation points for gas exchange.

its not going to matter, granted it may 'have a hold' on to the grains that its colonized, but there will still be the 70% that isn't colonized, and will still contaminate if there is no filter...

so I'd stick to the normal method and filter it before sterilizing, and let it breathe the entire colonization time..
