i spent the last 1.5 hours riding my bike around town checking albertsons, bell market, longs, safeway, walgreens, a posh neighborhood supermarket, and the nursery store...but it was worth it because i got my brf, verm, and mason jars.
the only thing is that i could only find 1 pint mason jars. can i still use them or will it take longer to colonize or what? if i can use them should i just double up on the verm and brf for each jar? thanks a bunch!
how well does the boiling sterilization tek work? i have no pressure cooker so i believe that is my only option

If you look around, you should be able to find a PC that fits pints for 20-50 bux.
Steam steralization works, but I don't know how well it will work on pints. Assuming they're sterile, pints should work fine.
Good luck.

Boiling them will suffice. I know a guy who did that the first time with BRF pints and things worked out well.

Or just fill em half way, and then you already have your pints when you do grains

He'd probably have to innoc them upside down if he did that since the needle probably isn't long enough otherwise.

Damn, ya got me, I wasn't thinking.
Ha ha ha....ok this is a joke but who knows. Fill em half way and don't add a verm layer but use tyvek or poly fill instead. Shoot spores in and shake em. Who knows.

hmmmmm...as much as i like experimenting i don't think it'll work for a newbie. so should i just use pints and hope they don't take forever to colonize? or should i fill them not all the way to the top and shake them a bit once the mycelium starts to colonize?

Well if your gonna keep those jars you'll probably have to fill em. That can take forever to finish. BRF would more likely be a pain in the ass to try to shake and when done you probably couldn't see in the jar very well. Was just a idea.
Albertsons didn't have widemouth half pints? I got mine there that is why I ask.

If there is a store called Orchard Supply Hardware in your area they have all the jars there.
