Hey everyone,
I have just inoculated some jars.
Now i understand some people take the foil off and replace it with coffee filters for better air exchange.
Is this recommended to be done jsut after inoculation or should I wait a week then change....
The jars are currently in the incubator

You don't need any cover over PF style jars, that include foil and tape. You can always toss a coffee filter over top of them though, it can't hurt.
For grain jars w/ filter tops, a coffee filter is like dust protection. I use them over top Polyfill lids.
Coffee filter won't hinder your gas exchange either, they work great.

I use the polyfill but i use the coffee filter over top the jar then screw the lid around it then pressure cook it with the foil on top of that.
Then i sit in incubator for about a week so the mycelium starts to take off THEN i take the coffee filter off for more air exchange.
NO CONTAMS SO FAR
