That's PP5, it should work.

I think she uses the smaller ones. 1 pint if I remember right...
That one would be a bit to deep.

Quarts should colonize just fine. It's like saying a widemouth quarts are too deep for stones.

Yeah, I know, but he was afraid that it would melt in the PC.

I'm just saying if you're just gonna case the top like Violet does, then you probably don't want such a deep container.
I'm not saying it wouldn't work, I'm just saying you could accomplish the same thing with less grain.

I started with quarts then switched to the pints ala Violet tek. The quarts are more likely to stall, fyi. Violet addresses that potentiality with the small ones by loosening the lids to allow CO2 escape. Edited to add: You can buy the containers at amazon.com and many other places on the web.

ya i thought of that i was going to put a tyvek breather on the lid cause loosening the lid might let contaminates in.

I would avoid modifying the lids if you can. You might read Violet's bad experience with that. Gas Exchange without contamination IS accomplished by slightly loosening the lids. But we wouldn't be where we are without experimentation and learning!

I have used the exact jar you have through my pc without any issue IIRC. When I should have used grain, I tried to make a big brf cake. The jar lived, while the brf stalled out.

I use the big ones for 'master jars' and for growing invitro sterile fruits for sterile prints and perhaps clones. They're extremely useful, but I have & use far fewer of those than the pint size.
To use for invitro growing, load the same small amount of prepped grain (~200-300mL) and colonize as normal. After at least a week consolidating, loosen the lids more than the tiny crack for GE but not enough that they can be picked up off the top, then sit back on the shelf. They fruit themselves with time, in the 3/4 of empty space! Bottom-watering works the same both containers of course.
For scale growing & using FCs you'll need the shorter pint containers, like petersodm said above.
Btw, I see mention of loose-lids for GE... FYI I've not had to crack a lid to reach full-colo in quite some time! With even spread of inoc, you likely won't have to break the seal until using. (MS is different, slower)

they work. we have a project with them right now.
they do take longer to colonize. and ,if ya fill them more than 60% full, youll have to increase PC time.
the small ones, ya can flash PC for 30-35 min. large ones like suggested, id go like 55 min.
part of the PP5 thing, is look around for PP5 containers everywhere. there is a shape for every occasion.
consider your cooker size, your goals, and the possibilities.
excellent, to see plastics peeps , in action.

There is no such thing as PP5. It's polypropylene. The 5 is just a recycling code.
Get to know the products you're using. It'll make things much easier.

O.K ,but since i love experimentation I'll put a breather on two jar and then leave two more unmodified and do a few runs too see the differences and document them
