A paper punch works pretty good. You gotta remove the little guard thingy though.

I will check out DG. How much does it cost there?
the other issue with hole puncher is that I have not seen one that will do a hold in the middle of the lid.

The other night I went a different route. I picked up white plastic lids from Walmart (8@2.99). I make 5 holes in them easily using a soldering iron. In the center hole I put a syringe filter glued with hi-temp silicone (for GE). In the holes I put silicone (self healing injection port). Now the white lids say that they are not meant for canning. I sterilized 24 lit jars and they seem to have done ok. I will be injecting some later today.

I just use a nail to make a hole and then stick a file from my swiss army knife in it and start twisting and grinding until it's the right size. The top side is nice and smooth.

Knock-off tools are just a bad idea in my opinion. :nonono:

Yea my whiteney jr no 5 was made in the 1930s I think. I bought it on ebay more as a cool collector thing because it came in this sick metal box with faded yellow instructions and price list and stuff it's really cool I actually don't use it for anything lol. Since I don't make jars anymore and my LC lids are one piece it's not useful to me.

For people that use tyvek or sfd for the ge holes, I switched from one hole in the middle to two or three much smaller ones in a triangle.

Reason being I was getting tons of millet and milo coming through the hole and getting stuck between the lid and filter during shaking. I was just holding my finger over the hole while I shook but when I made new lids decided to go with holes too small for grain to fit through.

Personally I hate two piece metal lids and I’ve done so well with unmodded lids that’s all I use now. Buy em and use em. Easy.

Unmodded? I made the switch to plastic a couple years ago and man that really makes the inoculations simpler. No more taking off rings and having to hold the lid in place while you do it. Drilling them is simple too and you can do it just by twisting a knife.

Read the tek. Also jars only need GE not FAE. FAE in jars would dry them out.

Curious here, I have never allowed GE on jars and they've all been fine (and even the ones that didn't pan out/germ had no gas to escape after pulling the tape off, so nothing wanted to escape it would seem.)

Am I the crazy one here?  Is this a strain-specific thing?

Cubes are a weed you can do a lot wrong and still grow them. Still doesn't hurt to give them benefits

That's a really good point, I am wondering if I should test this on some half pint jars to see how much GE happens about halfway through colonizing them.

I use a Dremel and put a hole through the lid from the metal side, then widen it from the rubbery side, and smooth the edges from both sides.
