G2G Jars

Sooo.... I fudged up... I was making some lids for G2G jars and I made a 1/2 in hole in them covered with Painter Suit tyvek. The preferred method I've come across is doing 1/4 in...Will this allow to much GE? If so I'm thinking I might just RTV over part of the surface area...hmmm

Probably, but I think you should use them as is and report back.

Word... I was thinking about it but wasn't sure.. I will probably just do one or two to experiment I suppose.

I don't recommend doing this, I've done this before and it dried out the top of my grains EVERY time. 1/2" seems enormous for a tyvek filter. Myc will have a very hard time colonizing the top grains.
but... if you want to experiment, be my guest

Have you tried it with Foomans Wbs tek? Where the wbs tend to be on the moist side of the spectrum?
I think I may end up putting some tape over 1/2 of the hole.
The area for 1/2 in. bit came out to (A = .2) , 1/4 in. is (A = .096), 1/8th in. is (A=.012)

Just cover the whole jar in a nice cloak of foil, man. Stop that GE from getting out of hand.

1/2" is too big IME.
You should take some plumbers tape and make the hole smaller, then put your tyvek filter over the hole and tape

ive used 1/2 holes in widemouth quarts... just get some poly & pack it about 1 1/2X tighter than normal. It'll be fine

I guess I failed to mention this tyvek filter is placed on the lid with rtv like a filter. So, I don't have the option in which ya'll advise. I'm going to tape over a portion using the solutions I stated in my above post. Thank you all for shared expertise and advice. I will follow up in this thread with the outcome.

I always ended up with bacteria using Fooman's WBS tek. I strictly use rye now

i just hammer in a couple holes from a nail in my lids for GE and inoculation points (ball quart jars, i do grain). ..lid down, then tyvek filter, then thread ring.. colonization times are great and i have had zero problems with this method, doing hundreds of jars. i have not had any contams do to filter.

It's not that I do not know how to make a lid. There are many teks on here, I simply just wasn't thinking when I grabbed the bit. All I need to do is cover 0.104 of .2 area.

The only thought I have now is whether to just duct tape half of it or to put a few layers of micro pore tape over the tyvek to make the filter for GE thicker

I would duct tape it myself, to avoid wasting precious micropore tape

1 has a new type of saran wrap on it over half of the hole and another has 2 layers of micro pore tape on it

saran wrap is NOT permeable. use glad cling wrap! they are made from separate materials and cling wrap will let everything breathe

Tape over part of it would be better. You don't want stop or impede the GE too much. I believe totally covering the jar in foil would be too much. Besides, light is beneficial in the colonization step as well...

Haha. Guys... Its already taken care of. thank you though. Doing the math, covering half the hole with something non breathable was completely fine. BUT, just for the hell of it.. I took it off and added two layers of micro pore tape and its working like a champ
