My sfd's have always been damp even covered in foil so I don't see what difference it would make. They haven't been an wetter without foil. I use 2-3 qts of water in a 23 qt Presto.

I just poured my first sleeve of petri dishes instead of doing no pours and my god what a bitch that was! A bunch of plates formed condensation from pouring to hot I think but hopefully it clears up, if not i can try the coffee mug trick and then i ran out of agar towards the end and got a super super thin layer in the last 4 or 5, I'll probably stick to no pours from now on

Keep practicing and do not give up because your first time wasn't a big success.
If I did that I would not get any where in life. Keep going mate!

(I also do mostly no pour tho)

I confess I just stated pouring my own plates, and ran no pours for a couple years... Nothing compares to the visibility of a petri dish... And I won't go back to no pours

I really like the visibility but pouring plates in a small SAB kinda sucks, haha all my plates still have a bunch of condensation I'm gonna try the mug of hot water trick and see if it helps, I really like the visibility but I wanna mabye get some deep glass petri dishes and try and see if I can do those in a no pour stay without boiling them over

Condensation shouldn't mess anything up..as long as you wrap the dishes once solidified there shouldn't be any problems... You can buy a brand new hepa filter/fan unit cheaper than building a hood, I have a 24x48 and it works suprisingly well and only spent $140 on it used

That's good to know! I wont worry about tje condensation then, I poured my plates, stacked them 10 high and left them in my SAB to cool overnight, I'm gonna inoculate in a bit and then wrap them

Yes having foil on your jars does does make whatever your using forms filter wet. But there's a big difference  between the steam that gets trapped between the foil and the lid and water repeatedly dropping down from the PC lid onto the filter material


I confess I ran out of mp tape so o just tore apart a throw pillow. :lol:

Whoops. Found 22 jars I inoculated on 18 Feb, and never shook. Most are 200% colonized. My wrists are paying the price of shaking them loose.

Nice growth, though:

Admittedly I'm only on my 2nd round of no foil jars. I just don't get the impression water is really raining down on the filters when there's 10 jars crammed in there. We'll see though. I've had a long stretch of no contams so I guess I'm willing to push some boundaries til I fuck up.

You gonna blame the pillow on the cats?

Def the cats. Ots not so much a contaminated issue. And if u under cook your grains it's not such a huge problem.  But when it happens to me I can tell because I'll have a bunch of exploded grains in my jars. That's how I can tell a.descent amount of water got in.

When I was running with oats. I was under  ooking them. And not using foil on my lids with ez felt and all it did was hydrate some of the oats more so then the rest. Then I tried that same way with  wbs and because the wbs was pretty close to field  capacity I got a ton of busted seeds. So now I use foil when I know my grain prep is almost perfect.

Make sense. Thsts how I experienced it.

I do foil as a precautionary measure in PC, and to keep bad stuff from settling on the lid until I'm done inoculating.

Seriously... I keep trying to convince myself to go no-pour for the cheapness of it ... but then I go and do shit like this because PETRIS ARE SO NICE



I probably poured about 60 petris before I figured out my condensation issues. I'm sure you'll get it faster than me (mine were environmental issues, not pour related). If you have a little extra money get a surface temp gun and just ping your agar until it reads 117F ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073J4MD6W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). I tend to prepare myself to pour at around 121F.

Also, they're not the worlds greatest media jars, but there's a 3 for $15 bundle that's been happening since early December: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H275DGN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

PETRI LYFE Y0!

True confession,

I just got scammed by an online shopping site because I wanted the cheapest stir plate lol

Stay away from felsha.com, they are scammers. Just cancelled my credit card because of those Richard craniums.
