my polyfil got dyed
    #16787004 - 09/04/12 01:48 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

i just opened the PC from a cycle last night and it seems that a WHOLE bunch of moisture got under my foil cover and now all the polyfil is an off yellow color. almost the color of the water when you do rye berry rinses, a few of them felt wet to the touch. do you think this could cause problems?

EDIT: if the polyfil is a huge deal, i was going to use these jars for G2G, so i could replace them with different lids when i do that

The foil is there to keep the filters from getting wet and to keep extra water out of your jars. If your water content got thrown off then no bueno.

Should probably start over to be safe. Less time wasted than if it fails later.

if the water content was thrown off, it wasn't by any amount that would matter. my main concern is in the filter itself. as wet filters can allow contams in.

Maybe let the jars sit until the filters are dry, but i guess if they are wet and a contam lands on them you could be screwed.

If you aren't worried about the water content then put some new poly in and recook.

i'm thinking that the best plan of action would be to make new lids, wrap extra good in foil, PC for 20-40 minutes, then when i do my G2G swap lids in the process.

sounds solid, right?

If that's the idea then just cook the lids and swap them out ASAP, don't wait to do G2G unless it's going to be immediately. Wouldn't wait any longer than necessary getting those potentially contaminated lids off the jars.
