Take that foil off pronto.. If you don't have a dry verm layer at the top, get some micropore tape from Walmart. That foil will inhibit proper GE

We have the tape lol were just keeping the foil on the top, because we see other people do the same, we did inoculate the jars through the tape, so should we take the foil off and put new tape over the old with the holes from the needle?

I would remove the old tape and apply some new tape over them. I'm not sure how double layering it like that would affect gas exchange. I'd definitely keep the foil off though. That's only really necessary when PCing the jars.
If you have a dry verm layer at the top of your jar mix, there's no need for tape unless you just wanna be extra precautious

Look up PFTek and check the "Trusted Cultivator" box- tons of info there. Your jars are pretty big, so they will take longer to fully colonize. Still totally viable, my first PF Cakes were pint jars.

I pressure cook mine for 90-120 minutes. (Also info you can get by searching) I've heard talk of steam sterilization being viable for PF cakes but I'd rather go with the standard. I got my PC from an Asian grocer for $80, it can hold 7 jars and works great. How did you do yours?
