“Jar” tek - best air filter?
    #26433652 - 01/14/20 05:45 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

What would you recommend as a filter for air exchange when inoculating/incubating using some tek involving a jar?
Which one do you recommend?
You may choose only one

"Tek involving a jar"

You may need to be more specific. In terms of working with grain I use tight polyfill. I don't like the poll as it seems silly so no vote.😄

I use polyfill and synthetic filter discs.  They both work great.  Tried micropore tape too, didn't always work.

I use whatever lids I have to spare...

Mainly a 1/2" hole stuffed with fine cotton (I use the cotton that I previously used for building vape coils; really fine cotton).
Some I have a hole with syringe filter glued in.
Some just couple of small holes covered in micropore tape.

My preference is the cotton stuff as it seems to colonise faster. Plus if I accidentally load up my jars with grain that's too wet and cba to redo a batch, it seems to allow for surface moisture to evaporate out of the jar, lowering moisture to an acceptable level.

If using PF Tek, just use micropore tape over the injection holes. If using grain jars, use polyfill in a 1/2" hole, Tyvek or use synthetic filter discs. Do NOT use synthetic filter discs with PF Tek! It will dry the jars out!

I'm using these style of lids for grain:



Made using Tyvek and RTV silicone for injection port.

Here's a discussion on these lids.. RR disagrees w this design but this lid tek has worked well for many people:

Here's also another option if the tyvek lids above are not your style:

To each it's own but, IMO polyfil lids are the best. You can inoculate the jars right in the open air and the lids can be re-used several times also. Until the material is starting to decay. I used Tyvek for some time and then discovered polyfil. I haven't looked back since. So much easier and just as effective.
