Question about lid filter hole and polyfill
    #18745563 - 08/23/13 03:42 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

is it sufficient to drill a hole in the mason jar lid and stuff some polyfill such as done in the following video:


?


or should one also as a secondary safety measure tape the filter hole with parafilm so as to make sure no contams get through the polyfill?

It is sufficient, but using EZ Felt or SFD's will seal the deal. I know SFD's will outlive your lid. Polyfill has to be changed at some point.

Most people think polyfil sucks but will pass in a pinch, I happen to agree. My current project nearly stalled before colonization because the polyfil was suffocating my poor myc.

Besides, it's like ten bucks for ten SFD's that can then be turned into several more per disc because you only need a quarter sized cut off each disc per lid.

I've used two 125mm SFD's to make 20 jars. And I was generous with the size of the cut out SFD.
