While I see people trying pf tek with the 4 nail holes and a dry verm layer I also see people having a lot of problems with it and contams. With all the preparation and money people put into this the best advice I ever received was to make the proper lids to decrease failure in the hobby. This is the link someone gave me for the lids

I just dont like to see people spent all there time, effort and money to have contams when they are easily avoidable, I usethe 4 self sealing holes with 1 filter in the middle.

If people are having contams with PF cakes and the dry verm layer is the filter, it is due to poor sterile procedure or contaminated inoculant.
No need for any fancy lids for PF tek.

PF tek is as basic as it comes. Everyone can do it. That's the beauty of it. It has worked with 4 holes and a dry layer of verm for years.

I think my problem and many others was the dry verm getting wet during pc'ing. I had a 50 to 60% failure rate with it and when I changed lids it went to 0% with nothing changed but the lids. I respect your opinion and I have been following all your teks to go to bulk but this is an easy way for someone to start off without the frustrations I had in the beginning and it dont take that long to do while giving you experience on making the lids you will make when doing grains.

I never had a problem with pf tek and dry verm as a filter. those are nice lids but its much cheeper and quicker to dump some dry verm on and call it good for me!
