Help with lids
    #24898814 - 01/08/18 03:35 PM (7 years, 9 days ago)

Donโ€™t got any silicone, I use half pints for agar, put one hole in the middle and cover with 2 layers of microporous. Can I use the same lid for grain jars if Iโ€™m going MS-> grain?

They both work.  Whatever you want to do.  I have used MP tape, injected through it, then put another layer on.  All in the SAB.

You can slap a piece of postal tyvek over 2 layers of mp tape. Seems to be working ok.

You can buy tyvek suits from hardware stores and use pieces of that cut up for a lifetime.

Seems staples has free fedex envelopes.

I like sfds or MP tape over tyvek. Even better yet is unmodded plastic lids.

I don't like micropore for grain jars. People use it and it works, but I don't trust it

I would use polyfill, its really reliable

Iโ€™ve been using unmodded plastic lids for everything for months with no trouble at all. Itโ€™s so much easier. No tape, no poly, no foil to screw around with. I suppose this is probably only appropriate for cleaner atmospheres however and still doesnโ€™t offer as much protection as a filtered lid, but I really like to keep my shit as simple as possible.

In my first agar to grain adventure, I'm using unmodified metal lids since I had a bunch of jars sitting around waiting for something (now I know what). I was worried, since my home is not "spotless." However, it's day 4, and all three are between 20 and 50% colonized already. Did a shake on two of them today.

I just had the lids slightly loose in the PC, and covered the upper part in foil. Of course I need to tighten them down for a good shake, but I'm loosening them again after. We'll see how it goes in the next couple of days.

I guess I just feel that it is less wasteful for me to leave them unmodified at this point, and it seems that people have found faster colonization with this method.
