How many times should I sterlize jars in pot? PF Tek
    #21394949 - 03/11/15 08:30 PM (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hey guys. So my spores arrived today and I am super pumped :smile:

I am sterlizing my jars right now but I am wondering if I should do it more then once.

I read some PF Tek tutorials that say once for an hour and a half is good. Others say to do it for an hour and a half but three times and than inoculate.

What would you suggest?

thanks :smile:

90 min steam sterilization is sufficient.

fantastic. I have about 40 minutes left to go.

Is it ok to open the lid to add water if I think I need it?

also after they are done I am just going to leave them in the pot till I get home from work tomorrow. I assume that is ok?

Yes. Do not let it run dry

I'll highjack this thread since it's relevant. Can you sterilize for too long? I sterilized mine for about 2 hours yesterday but i thought about leaving them in there even longer for better results, any negatives to doing this except time loss?

Not really, 2 hours is just fine. If you sterilize for too long it's possible your jars will lose some of their water content.
