Quick question about LC and lids
    #16200114 - 05/08/12 02:37 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Did some searching, couldn't seem to find consistant information.

Some lid teks recommend a hole in the lid for air exchange, as well as a hole for inoculation. Others just recommend a single hole covered in silicone. 

So which tek should I use? I have a bunch of LCs already, but they just have a single hole to inoculate, no filter, no air hole, just covered in foil. I wanted to try out these self healing lids/ports.

So yay or nay to an extra hole for air exchange, or just a self healing hole with silicone?

You need some form of GE so you don't create a vacuum in your jar.

If you're just using a Self-Healing Inoc Port (SHIP,) then you can use a sterile syringe stuffed tightly w/ polyfil to alleviate the vacuum in your.

It's much easier to just have a small GE port in the lid.
