Sterilization Issue - Only 1 Layer of Foil
    #18961679 - 10/10/13 09:56 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Just realized that I only put one layer of aluminum over the lid to my jars that are now in the PC...

Substrate: Wild Bird Seed
Jar: 1 qt. Ball Mason Wide Mouth
Lid: punched hole in center w/ regular screwdriver - FAE Filter: Polyfill
No tyvek
~80 mins @ 15 PSI

As you can see I went with a minimalist approach to the lid construction as it has worked in the past. I wish I would have remembered to at least apply 2 layers of foil. In the future, I plan to add a layer of tyvek in-between the glass and the lid.

Question: As long as the lids are not visibly wet after cooling, is it worth inoculating them?

Or should I just go ahead and restart?

The amount of inoculant isn't an issue, it's the time involved.

Eventually this spawn will be mixed with a coco/verm/gypsum substrate and fruited in a monotub

As long as the filter isn't soaked it's all good.

one layer of foil is not your issue, even if your lids are visibly wet, the moisture content inside of your jars, and whether they were sterilized, is more important, and they should be fine based on your prep,

how you move the jars from the sterile environment of the pressure cooker to where you will inoculate is more important, I recommend a still air box or flow hood, if you use either you should be fine.

even a well sterilized bathroom would probably work for you,

I say inoculate and then come back in a week or two and let us know, I suspect you will have success.

I use sfd and I have completely forgotten to put foil on before and had no issues. The moral of the story is that sfd rock! :rockon:

Thanks for the quick replies everyone :thumbup:

The PC just reached 0 psi a few minutes ago, now just waiting for the PC to cool for another 30 mins or so before I break up the grain.

Inoculation tomorrow - I have a few left over LC syringes though I am weary of using them due to their age (over 6 months old). Most likely will use one of the several MultiSpore syringes I have stashed instead.

Anyways, time to crack open a beer and watch an episode of Archer :chugbeer:

Cheers
