Cool! I think I may give that a go then. Got some syringes that did well on brf cakes so it’s worth a shot. Will still be knocking up some pasty plates too.

I get wide mouth myself but don't think it matters much with grains since you can break it up to pour it out unlike cakes

Cool I’ll get the wide mouth then. It’s the only one left lol. Think other people are growing mushrooms too. There’s a good supply of regular quarts. The only wide mouth one has been opened, but I’ll clean them anyway.

I remember first time I ever got some quart jars I'm in the store with my friend and I'm looking around and this lady was going to help out and give us advice I guess and she asks "What are you using he jars for?"
I'm like... uh..... canning food I suppose...?

Hahah right? Not like they need to know 
I ended up getting regular mouth because the wide mouth ones looked like they had some minor cracks. Going to start up some plates tomorrow and run some brf cakes tonight so I can inoculate tomorrow.

Regular mouth jars have an edge over wide mouth jars due to opening being somewhat smaller. Smaller openings are less of a path way for invader spores to enter inside of.

I've used both regular and wide mouth for g2g and both worked just fine for me.
I have noticed that the newest shipments of ball jars, at least where i am, are a new design. They're almost completely bare. Just a small ball logo. But they have all sorts of visible defects that scare me. Apparently their new equipment needs to be dialed in

Haha! Good I got regular mouth. Guess either one would be fine though.. Excited to start this up!
Yeah Apples, I got the Kerr jars that don’t have mutch on them. Hopefully they last a good long while. Some of my halfpints cracked in the pc last run so I picked up another pack for PF Tek and I’ll probably use them for agar sometime down the road.

They're all actually made by the same company now. Ball used to be the best because they had mrasurements. Now they don't, and their glass molds are all fucked up. They need to shape up because that's what's almost always selling at stores here

Huh that’s lame.. They should fix the problem soon if they are getting a lot of complaints about it. Mine seem to be fine though.

Mine look fine. They have measurements. Idk what you're talking about. Maybe a bad batch? I bought mine a few months ago.
As for regular vs wide mouth, technically Ham is right but I've never had a problem with wide mouths. G2Ging a regular mouth qt into a wide mouth qt almost feels like cheating it's so easy lol.

I'm talking about the new ball jars. The boxes even said it was a new design. No measurement marks. Just one small ball logo near the bottom on one side and a bunch of defects. From two different stores in two different towns. I don't have any of the empties or a decent camera at the moment so this picture doesn't really show it, but i'm not trippin

Eat some of those PE and I’m sure you’ll be tripping lol. I see what you mean though, those do look new. Hope they fix the defects. Maybe if you call them they will give you a free box. I did that when I bought the wrong desiccant packs and they let me keep the other ones and sent me a bag for free.
I might have to get some widemouths for g2g lol, sounds easy.
