Reusing lids for BRF jars
    #27471139 - 09/16/21 10:34 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

So yeah did a bunch of jars. All came out contam'd. Vendor said they had a bad batch and could've been them. Every one of them got trich. Thing is I reused the lids 2-3 times. Do you all reuse lids or just buy new ones. Side question I found buying ball jars cheaper than buying new lids. Unless buying offbrand bulk lids for 100-150 lids. Have you guys had any luck with these offbrand lids or stick to ball? (looking for new updated answer)

The company that sells mason jars recommends replacing lids just for canning food, because it may not be a perfect seal when reused, so canned foods at risk for food poisoning. This may or may not be an issue in cultivation, I'm sure others will have their own opinions on that.

Reuse them until they are dilapidated. Companies recommend replacing the lids because once you seal the lid the red sealing ring has been compromised and may not seal correctly again. That’s a major health hazard in canning foods. If you’re doing BRF then the vermiculite layer on top is your filter. The syringe could be overly dirty, didn’t sterilize the cake well enough, or brought in contaminates as you were inoculating.

Definitely reuse lids. Nothing wrong with that. I've been using the same lids for like 2+ years and only replace them once they get pretty rusty. I started using the ball brand leakproof plastic lids and they're dope af. I use em on grain jars but it's really the same type of wear and tear for both processes.
