There are a bunch of easy casing methods, can you specify which?

Re: Quart Jar Revisited.

My distant relatives don't recommend it at all, but have a few suggestions if your distant relatives insist on trying it:

1) Do not mess with the jars at all once you've innoculated them, until they're fully colonized. Especially, do not open them to "tip out" the CO2 until they're fully colonized.

2) Do not add additional water.

3) Do not apply heat to the bottom of the jars. If you must apply heat, do it from above.

Are they bigger than half-pints? Sure, but they're mostly air.

There's about as much rice in the quart jar as in a half-pint. It's about a quarter-pint of rice with no vermiculite.

The jar becomes the terrarium.
