question about pc and jar lid hole size
    #21215780 - 02/02/15 11:48 AM (9 years, 3 months ago)

Hey everyone, so I have a notion I may have burnt myself a little on my wbs jars. I see so many different opinions on hole size on here but I ended up going with one 3/4" hole stuffed with needle bending density amounts of poly. Just wondering if this is too big. I see a few folks using 4 1/4" holes so I suppose that adds up to 1" so I don't believe so but I could be wrong. Other question I have is every time I PC I have failed and allowed my rocker to just hiss its ass off instead of lowering temps. I have never had a dry PC as I put enough water in there but the last time I went to use it (presto PC) the pressure lock/indicator never seated correctly and just purged steam and my rocker did nada. I turned of cleared the valve etc... Tried again and same damn thing. Just curious if over temping and pressurizing could have damaged the valve. The reason for these questions is I have more wbs I need to PC. And as for the hole size I'm curious because i have some colonizing but as of today they are only about 30-35% colonized and I noc'd em up on the 11th of Jan so I fear maybe they are too dry due to hole size. Thanks for your feedback guys.

it's all good so long as it is filtered with tightly stuffed poly

I use lots of jars with unmeasured holes (just hammer a nail through, twirl it/ reem/widen a little, pull out, stuff) and that works fine. As for 'is 1/4' too small/big' I do not think the myc cares so long as there is filtered gas exchange

Two holes is just extra work at that point.

if you innoced from a spore syringe your time sounds okay. once you start g2g transfers it will speed up.

As for if you damaged your PC. if you let the pc run out of water for any period of time it can warp creating an imperfect seal loosing pressure and thus being worthless. This takes a lot, though, and most likely yours is fine. but do check that there is no water leakage from the seal or that the bottom of your pc is not warped to hell

I drill 4 x 1/16" holes in my lids as per RR's recommendation,  finishing nails also work.



1 x 1/4" holes with poly will work, but 4 x 1/4" holes would be far too much though IMO,  your grains would probably loose too much moisture.

I can't comment on the 3/4" hole but I know that 3 or 4 x 1/16" holes are plenty for GE, remember that high co2 levels are needed for colonization,  if holes are too large you'll loose co2 and moisture.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll check my PC tonight to see if its warped but its never ran outta water so I don't think it would have. And ya I nocd with syringe. 1cc per quart jar. Just inpatient I guess lol.
