**URGENT** Not enough holes in lids?
    #19404326 - 01/11/14 03:15 PM (10 years, 19 days ago)

So I recently acquired 12 quarter pint jars (the short kind) and outfitted them with self healing injection ports using the "Low Dough Self Sealing Inoculation Lids Tek". I drilled 2 quarter inch holes in each lid and plugged one with silicone.

I now have 12 BRF jars currently sterilizing, but I've been doing some reading and am worried that 2 holes will not allow for enough gas exchange. Apparently lids with 4 holes allow much faster colonization.

So...Would it be worth the risk of contams to drill 2 more holes in each lid? Should I drill the holes and resterilize? Should I just suffer through the slow colonization period?

Help please! I am hoping to knock em up tomorrow once they cool.

a quarter inch hole should suffice. generally when people use four holes the hols are smaller than a quarter inch. I use one quarter inch hole covered with one layer of pollyfill and one layer of paint suit tyvek and it works great.
