Hole size in PF cake jars?
    #15951074 - 03/15/12 01:56 PM (11 years, 10 months ago)

Yes, I used the search function, but everything seemed relevant to grains etc.

I'm prepping my 1/2 pint jars for innocculation. I used a finishing nail which is just large enough for the needle to enter (maybe 1/16 of an inch).

Is this an appropriate size or is it too small for proper gas exchange. I also bought some micropore tape, if that's necessary.

Thanks for any input.

You should be fine.  I do the same, creating four inoc. points for each jar/lid, has never done me wrong. :thumbup:

Yeah I would think as long as you can cleanly and safely get the needle in and out you should be ok.

That hole size is perfect, us a hole just big enough for the needle. Assuming its somewhere around and 18GA needle. Thats plenty for GE. Also do not use micropore take for ur pf jars. Use around a half inch dry verm layer at the top and leave the wholes open. The dry verm will be a sufficient contam barrier. Make sure its in a pretty clean room at room temp for colonization. Assuming you dont live in an igloo.

Those holes should be fine (Same way of making them as I use), and you shouldn't really need the tape. So long as your 'verm' layer is there, which should be 1/2" (1cm) deep.

Good luck with the rest :thumbup:

Ok, thanks everyone. I'll skip the tape. 48 jars going into sterilization :smile:

I'll put up a log shortly. Wish me luck.

I'd be bustin' out the ole' 60cc syringe.
Fortunately, if your syringe is solid or if it's LC, you only need a drop or thtee per port. A 60cc might very well do the whole job since a ML in my experience is ~25 drops give or take
