Great to hear! I hope they turn out well and I'm glad I inocced anyway. I still feel don't feel like it's right/completely correct though, because I've gotten to where no water gets under foil before. You don't think it compromises the dry barrier?

100% as in 100% failure. no one lets a jar 100% contaminate... at least i hope not.
cover the holes with tape. remove after inoculation. solves that problem.

Even if your spores or inoculant had some mold or bacteria in it, you would still get some successful jars because there is more spores of the mushrooms than of the mold/bacteria and the mushroom mycelium out paces the contams.
Exactly. Should always be a few that make it unless the syringe is completely trash. But that is rare unless you get your syringes from whores101 or drunksters.

I think that SGFC looks pretty great! Holes on the bottom too right? What's the distance between your holes? It's difficult to tell from the photo, but the standard is a 2" x 2" grid pattern.

OP mentioned he had a 4qt PC. What brand is it? Does it reach 15 psi? Does it have an accurate gauge? It's only PF tek so just a pot should be fine but maybe your PC is just crap?

It's presto. It does reach 15psi(supposed to, at least). No accurate gage. And yes, one of the pics was the bottom. I left out the pic of the lid because I hadn't done it yet. And i'm not sure if it's exactly 2in but it's close.

If you're in the US I can recommend a Presto 23Qt should be around $70. 16Qt should be fine too, it's the same diameter just shorter.

Honestly the size of the PC doesn't matter, other than being inconvenient. And even not reaching 15 PSI is not an issue, I have a grow going right now with 25+ containers all steam sterilized without a pressure cooker, all successfully germinated and 0 contams.. (grains included)
If you don't know what PSI your PC is reaching, that's a huge problem. Have you looked up the model #? A google search of the model # will tell you everything about it.
If you can't figure it out, steam sterilize until you get another one.

Yea, I know he's doing PF tek that's why I said "A pot should be just fine". I'm just wondering about his equipment and procedure.
