Verm layer gone, can it be saved?
    #16821250 - 09/10/12 12:44 AM (12 years, 4 months ago)

So I went to check on jars finally.  I don't know if I was stoned, if I shook this too hard at some point, or if I simply forgot to put a verm layer on this.  There is a giant gap above the substrate, with a bit of myc on the glass and colonizing all the way up to the glass.  Also, on the hole up top is an orange colored discharge that has hardened.  Whats up with this?  I would hate to lose even one jar.

Why would you be shaking brf jars?
How could you "just forget a Verm layer"?
Remove the foil and uncover the holes your restricting the GE. (Except on the one without Verm you'll need micropore tape for it or just loosen cap for GE and see what happens)

That orange discharged on your holes on your lids is rust. Also you should not have your holes covered with tape or aluminum foil.....they need to be open for GE and the Verm layer protects your jars from contams.

I wasn't going around shaking jars.  I think that maybe this jar accidentally (unlike all the rest which are fine) got shaken - maybe when moving in the glove box, from the steamer, I don't know.  If I forgot a verm layer it might be because I did like 30 jars at once while stoned and maybe missed one when I was distracted or something.
Doesn't matter anyway.  I don't know how it happened, only that it did. 
So even with the verm layer gone, and possible contaminants settling, it is still advisable to take the foil off?  I figured enough air was getting in since it's not airtight, and the space below the foil has enough room to conduct air toward the holes.
Mainly, I just want to know if it is worth saving.

Did you put tape on all the holes on every jar?

Doesn't look like any Verm Barrier was added. :shrug:
Wait it out and see. Re-apply Micro Pore tape to your holes
if you inoculated through the first round of tape. :thumbup:
