Karo jars contam'd b4 inoc ,?'s
    #3431415 - 12/01/04 03:20 AM (19 years, 3 months ago)

AFOAF says...

ok here it is , 8 jelly sized jars (smaller then 1/2 pints) were filled with 75ml distilled water and 1 teaspoon karo light , after being cleaned very well with alcohol , then tyvek lid with 1 poly-filled hole and 2 layers of foil , pc'd @ 15 psi for 20 mins and let cool for a day.

later 1 of the 7 had this very light brown sediment/growth/cloud collections on the bottom , removed foil to see that lid was drenched in this standing water, the rest looked clear with small fibers thinking to be from the paper towel used to clean them with no sediment.

so 7 were inoc'd with 4 different strains 1cc to each and covered with 2 coffee filters and rubber band, some actually pushed liquid up though hole upon puncturing (wiped off with alcohol) , is this ok (contams?)?

also since jars were so short syringe needle got submerged in solution , was then wiped with alcohol and flamed , is this ok (contams?)?

was wondering if the poly-filled hole (since moist) would wick contams into/around/through tyvek or puncture hole ?

first time doing karo and dont want to fuck up any help is appreciated thanks ~_^

It's very hard to interpret your thread precisely, you should consider editing it grammatically.

a few things

no need for polyfill with tyvek..

were there chunks in the cloud? if so your karo is carmelized and probably no good... if its just lightly yellowish its good... you should see a distorted cloud upon shaking of the jar.. thats the karo built up on the bottom...

the needle in the solution is no big deal.

coffee filters invite contams and are useless with tyvek

coffee filters are made of natural fibers, contams eat natural fibers. coffee filters get wet and stay wet for a while, and the it dispurses a lot.. contams like wetness. tyvek is a far superior filter, and is all you should need. organic is bad, thats why you use polyfill not cottonballs. and like i said, the polyfill is useless with the tyvek. infact, most say tyvek is superior to filter discs, and understandably so, eseapcaily if you have seen a picture of it under microscope. so here's my advice from for your FOAF, next time he does anything with tyvek, use it alone, its all you should need except for aluminum foil to cover while pcing.

so do you think afoaf should remove the coffee filters on top of the jars and just leave the lid exposed or something else?

ow thats easy to take coffee filter away, if there is a hole in the tyvek as well, you could let the polyfill stay there.
So keep lid + tyvek (and maybe polyfill) remove coffee filter.
