my jars cracked! please help
    #26546079 - 03/20/20 08:15 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

so I've had many successful jars in the past but just recently while I was sterilizing my jars I didn't realize the whole bottom cracked, I didn't notice until after I injected my spores. mycelium is already growing and is in great shape but what do y'all think? will it stay sterile? I've been keeping the cracked jars in my still air box.

I'd tape the cracks and skip the shake.

It’s happened to me with Lc jars... I figure if a crack can leak water it can also allow contamination through... but they won’t just wiggle their way through in their own, they would probably have to be some starches in the crack that allow something to wick through... it probably won’t happen though, just saying it could..

I would just carry on and like dude said maybe not shake or shake very carefully...worst that can happen is they fail...

I have some cracked petri's that are doing great right now.
but they'll be getting tossed when they finish their purpose.

What kind of jars are they? Im assuming you are using half-pint wide mouths for the PF tek (you mentioned shooting spores)? If so, how are you steaming your jars?

BRF jars sterilized in a boiling water pot? It probably ran low on water and you added some to the pot? I did that too when I first started. Thermal shock cracks from hot glass coming in contact with cooler water. Keep a second pot of water boiling next to the jar pot, so if it runs low, you can transfer some without breaking the glass.

Im just guessing thats what it was without knowing anything else about what youre doing lol

BOOM Called it lol.

Thats good. Pressure cooker will make things easier and open up a lot of new routes for you to go. The cracked jars shouldnt be a problem as long as theres no pieces missing or big gaps, just throw them out once you birth the cakes, you dont wanna reuse them, especially in a pressure cooker.

Added water to them? Like to cool them down? If so, yeah cant do that. It will definitely crack the jars from the quick change in temperature.

I believe MushiMommi is a she. But yeah, that makes sense. Flash steaming I like to call it.
