Stop with the felt. You may as well put a window screen over the jar. Go to a big box store an buy a Tyvek paint suit and use that material to make filters. Consider this the "ghetto" minimum you where looking to bottom out at.

So you are not using a glove box? Spend $8 at the same BB store and get a medium tote. Toss the lid and cut 2 holes for your hand near what is now the top. Flip the tote over on a table and wallah! Instant GB. If you use the knock down technique I disclosed above with plain tap water and use the GB you will see an improvement. Shoot for more than the minimum. Good luck!




I've been using ez-felt discs on the outside of my jars for some time now and have had zero contams. I even knocked through the filter and left a nice hole over my injection port and they still worked fine. They usually last for like 3-4 pc runs


Filters aren't that hard :shrug: I've used envelope tyvek only on 100+ jars, no worries. I've used ez-felt on over 100 jars, no worries. I've just poked one whole in the lid and stuffed with polyfil and knocked through it and every thing, no worries. Hell I've even made an LC and grain jars that had one 1/4" hole that i just put micro pore tape over and they all lasted fine (even tested the lc)




Incorrect

you are dealing with a hige contaminate outbreak right now

your filters are the obvious culpret. i said that like 10 posts ago and everyone agrees.
since there is no logical, alternative, hypothesis (and its obvious) your next step is to buck up and buy a 3 dollar bag of polyfil at walmart.
noone reports failure with polyfil. including me

or filter disks!! iv used them too and they are just as awesome. i think they even look better but polyfil is faster to obtain

also tyvek from envelopes is not reccomended becasue it is crap, its too thin. buy a pain suit

I think you can get the wrong type of ezfelt cause one time I went to a diff craft store and they had "easy felt" not "ez-felt" and that entire round went south, even from a tested glc that performed fine on other jars afterward


Wish I had the extra 300$ to order a proper filter disk for every one of my jars lmao

Getting the filter wet is not the issue here (Although it can be)

Op's problems are coming from poor inoculation procedures, not the filter.

The filter will always come out damp or wet from steam vapors being released from within the jar, you cannot prevent this!

Leave the foil on the jar until you are ready to use it and then take a paper towel and just gently dab the filter material to absorb the excess water...with polyfill it will evaporate fairly quick (within a day) same with tyvek, but micropore tape needs to be dabbed and a second piece put overtop. Works just fine for me.



If it was the filter, i'd be having the same problem.



Build a glovebox op.
