How Large should GE holes be when using Polyfill in grain jars
    #23809842 - 11/07/16 02:08 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hi,

I am using Franks 12 step tek for monotub and I'm seeing mixed info on there regarding which size of hole to use when using polyfill for your gas exchange. It now shows to drill a 1/4 inch hole but obviously at some point he said to use a 1" hole for the GE and other users have quoted that.

For my jars I have drilled a 1/4" hole sealed with High Heat silicone for a self healing injection port and another 1/4" hole which I planned to stuff with polyfill for my GE.

Is 1/4" too small if using polyfill? I am not using Tyvek or any kind of synthetic filter disc?

Also if I do use a 1/4" hole how tightly should I pack the polyfill.

Please advise


Cheers

1/4inch to 1inch hole

stuff it as tight as fucking possible. and then just a little bit tighter than that

See this is what I mean that's a huge variance between 1/4" to an inch. Are there any factors to consider in determining which size is best?

Also should confirm am using a spore syringe for inoculation.

I've always used 1/4 inch.  I've seen some people 3/8 ", and they both work. 
I don't think it matters much either, (but 1/4 " bits are cheaper lol). 
Make sure you put that hole EXACTLY in the center or all hell will reign upon you until the end of your days.  Not a mm off dammit ,that's what really matters.

I noticed differences with sclerotia producing species. I did not use polyfill but .22 filter stickers. The jars produced more stones in less time with two 1/8 inch holes covered with filter stickers than the jars with 1 GE hole. But if the jars are made to be used as spawn 1/4 inch to 1 inch hole, as bodhisatta wrote should be fine.

I'm taking it this is a joke? I have my GE hole on the side and my injection port in the center
