Equipment Questions.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to ask a few questions. I'm in Australia by the way.
1. Is pea straw any good? I havent been able to find any posts that discuss it.
2. I've been looking for some jars, In a tek I read you could use Dolmio jars, but I havent seen any of those type jars around. If I cant find anything suitable, I'm just going to order some Ball or Kerr Canning Jars off the internet.
3. Should I rinse all of my Geolite balls before I put them into the bottom of the PMP?
4. When fruiting cakes into a PMP, should I place the cakes on the bottom, on an upside down lid from one of the jars? Or should I place them in direct contact with the Geolite?
Thanks,
Arbalest

gday mate where about in australia are ya?
yes pea straw is fine.
just use some jars that are as big for what you need, i use 1lt olive jars.
yes rinse the geolite balls
it's fine either way, you'll find the ones you put on the geolite will be a little waterlogged thou

Thanks for that, I'm in melbourne.
I'm looking for some jars that dont go inwards at all, so I can fruit them as cakes, but I cant find any. Nearly all jars I see in the shops at least go inwards a tiny bit. so im worried i wont be able to get the cakes out.

From what i've read there is mixed opinion on this, what gauge needle should i get? The only thing worrying me is if I get too big a gauge, will the solution flow out to quickly, as I'm only a noob and havent done this before.
Also, as I asked in the post above, anyone know of any suitable jars that I could get in melbourne, Australia, that do not go inwards at all, cause I want to fruit them as cakes for my first time.
Thanks

I used 18 gage, and worked fine. For spores I heard it doesn't matter much, though.
Two popular jars are Ball and Kerr(wide mouth preferred over regular) but even a regular glass works as long as you maintain strict controls to prevent contamination. You can find the jars in the canning section(usually next to tupperware and dishes). I found similar jars with hard plastic suitable at 99cent store. If you can't find them, you can order on line. Good luck
