Half pint jar lid holes 1/16?
    #21321863 - 02/24/15 09:25 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys, about to drill my 4 holes in the lids for my half pint jars to make some cakes. On let's grow mushrooms i'm pretty sure they say to use a 1/16 drill bit. I've got the piece in the drill now but is that really big enough for air exchange? I've looked around and there doesn't seem to be much info on it for half pint jars and i've read some completely opposite opinions varying from 1" down to 1/16 or 3/34. Any input would be greatly appreciated, Cheers

That makes sense however would the size of the holes not also effect the amount of air being exchanged and i've read if there's too much or too little you have problems?

The holes are for inoculation and gas exchange. Just get them around 1/8" or so and you'll be fine. You'll learn there's usually a little give with measurements in this hobby.
