Trying a jar again
    #21355932 - 03/03/15 11:29 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

So I have had bad luck with jars but wanna give a few another try as I found some intact sfd's laying around.

My question is about the lids of course.
Do I go place on jar sfd, then lid with hole in it, then band?

Or lid, sfd, then band? Also will a larger hole in the lid cause any issue except for maybe drying out grains faster, say 1/4-1/2in?

i pop a 1/4 inch hole in the lid and rtv a small circle of a sfd on the lid you can use a few small nail holes or ive seen people not use holes at all in there no pour lids

Should go in this order.
Jar>Lid>SFD>Band>Foil

Right. Is there something about the order I put that was wrong?

Lid>SFD

Make a diff if the lid is upside down or not if I'm using a whole sfd?

Well scratch that idea of using a whole disk. The ones I have are thick and with the lid and filter I can't get the jar ring to grab and screw lol

I really don't care to keep these sfd's so could I actually skip the lid and just go sfd->ring?

I don't see my grain being wet enough to let something grow on it when I shake.

using a whole SFD as a lid is a recipe for your grains to dry out long before they colonize

So aminata virosa in this threadhttp://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19127506. Says he's had no issue with having a sfd on the inside. Maybe I'll just do the sfd and leave the foil on with a hole or 2 in it. I refuse to cut those thick sfd's again.

I have lids that I was using gasket side up with sfd's siliconed to them and I find that the metal to glass seal is too imperfect for my environment.I get contams in unopened jars.

it's been done but it drys out grains way faster. unless you're like aminata virosa and already super on top of your game using very aggressive cultures you might run into a problem.
