How do you guys make your jar filters???
    #25953692 - 04/24/19 09:45 PM (5 years, 8 months ago)

Alright so for the first Time I sterilized my own grain. Did everything, transferee grain into jars with new substrate and it hit me today that the reason it’s not growing is because there is no filter at the top of the jar. How would you guys recommend me do this since it’s already in the jars? Hope I didn’t screw up twelve jars of spawn 😵

yea thats not good. best bet would be buy another set of 1/2 pint jars make the lids pc them and then swap them in a sab carefully. or toss that grain and start over with proper lids.

I understand what you are saying.... that’s why I’m brainstorming trying to think of something that might possibly work.... vs starting over and not TRYING, you feel me?

I punctured holes and covered them with tape. (Inside glove box) very sterile, everything. We’ll see how it goes. Was very tedious tiring work.

Drill a hole with a large drill bit and portable drill. Ball up some polyfill. Stuff it into the hole. Trim off excess.

You PC'd jars of spawn without some sort of hole in the lid to allow pressure equalization? Did none of them bust?

Also, im with Teladi. Drill a 1/4" hole in the lid and stuff some polyfill in there. Thats what i do normally.

Sounds like you this advice is a little late but you could use the unmodified lid tek. That's probably what I would have done, bought some plastic lids, PC 'em, swap it in the SAB. But you'll probably be good with what you did. What kind of tape did you put on? Does it breath? Micropore tape does breath but is not actually very microporey at all...

And stuffing poly in there is probably a bad idea after pressure cooking the jar. You're stuffing un sterile stuff in there and messing with it for a long time. What you did with the hole and tape is probably better.

It sounds like u used PF jar style lids (4 small holes). Is that true?

If so, the microspore tape over the little holes should be OK. I like to use filter disks. They are like their own "lid" and fit perfectly on jars.

I use plastic tops with 1/4 inch hole drilled in it. On the underside of lid I used rtv sealant to glue quarter sized Circles of filter material I cut down from larger mason jar lid filter material I purchased from Mycohaus.  Looks decent and when they get filthy I can peel off and reglue a new piece.

Thanks you guys we’ll see how it goes.
I literally sat there and thought, and thought about what I could do with least risk for contam.

My fingers are crossed and I’ll buy filter disks in the future. This craft has been trial and error learning for me so far. I learn best from my mistakes :-p

I use tyvek envelopes. I went to the post office and asked for some and they told me to take the whole rack because nobody ever used them.

Ok, you shouldn't :rofl:

We've all been there. If you read the thread I think on page 2 or 3 someone has the same realization as you.

Good luck!

Just hoping it works out. I spent a LOT of time on that I can’t believe I didn’t read about filtering before hand 😰

We’ll see.
Thank you
