Quick question about PF Tek cakes
    #22123292 - 08/21/15 04:15 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hey everyone, just a quick question. I created and sterilized ten mason jars according to the usual procedures for pf tek. There was a mix up with my spores in the mail, and going to inoculated now my sterilized jars have been sitting about a week. They were all covered with foil individually, then covered with plastic wrap in a box together. I was wondering if the water content of my jars was still at an acceptable level after a week of sitting. Upon inspection, it appears to be relatively humid inside the jars. Am I safe to inoculate these, or should I create and sterilize new jars?

A week is the limit.

If you want maximum success, re-do it all. If you want to be lazy then def re-sterilize at least.

If the moisture content was right from the start it will stay fine. After sterilization you remove the foil and let the dry verm barrier do its job. The jar sits on a shelf for weeks while it colonizes

It takes more than weeks for the jar to just dry out. But you should use jars within a day or two of sterilization.

Op is irrational about jar dry out. But either way old jars are bad news not because of moisture content but because they were sterilized too long ago

Thanks for all the replies. I'll sterilize these again and let them sit overnight, inoculate in the morning. First timer here, just wanted to make sure everything goes well! :grin:
