Thanks

Someone mentioned this in another post. If you go to ebay and search for synthetic filter media, they sell 3x7 foot sheets of the .5 micron stuff for 40something dollars. These are nearly the same thing the filter disks are made of, you can cut a few hundred from 1 sheet.

Jo anne fabrics or whatever that other craft store is. ez-felt or friendly felt.
Its just polyfill pressed into a stiff sheet. polyfill works just fine
I've had over 100 jars succeed using disks cut from ez felt. I would recommend one time use since they're so cheap anyway

Before I found SFD's, I used EZ-Felt (@ Jo-Anns, Micheals, etc) for my GE port with good success. One sheet @ 1.99 is enough for about 80 ports if doing them as I did below. I have since started using SFDs and injection ports, but still cut the SFD's the same way. I use those lids for everything except LC's and my earlier EZ-Felt lids are still in the rotation...

I actually just came across US quarter sized synthetic filter discs at my local homebrew shop. Five for 99cents. I believe they were rated at .5 micron.

I'm under the impression that we need .3 or smaller. I could very well be wrong though

Fungal spores are 2 microns plus. Bacteria spores can get down to less than .1 microns. Virii are even smaller. .5 is adequate. Technically 1 micron should be adequate too, but if i had to recommend id say .5.
