Cooling sterilized jars too quickly. Problem in this?

OK I am sterilizing all my jars tomorrow and inoculating on Friday and a friends house. So I usually let my jars sit in my closet at room temp to cool off. Really just so they're out of the way, but otherwise room temp just the same. Well since I'm traveling with them I was just going to put them in my trunk and let cool out there so I can hit the road first thing and not have to worry about anything being loaded up (and my neighbors wondering whats going on.) My neighbors on one side are cool and have known them for years. Elderly couple. But I just got new neighbors on the other side and don't know them well at all, so I want to avoid as much sketchy activity as possible.
BUT ANYWAYS.
To my question. It gets in the 20s if not lower at nights this week and I'm sure they will cool off quicker than usual in my trunk. But before I do this I wanted to know if it was a problem if they cool too quickly. Thanks.

the glass will crack if cooled too quickley. if you are willing to take the risk of breaking glass in your trunk then try it.
second, i wouldn't be showing anyone what you are trying to do. by bringing the jars to your friends house, that's breaking rule #1 never let anyone know what you are doing.

I totally understand where you're comign from on that one. This friend wants to help with the growing process in the fact that it's being done in his house. He has the spores already I'm just doing the jars at minebecause I already had the equipment and such. I thought about the glass breaking and figured I'd better just throw them in the closet.

Zenbrah- just noticed you were from philly, thats where im from and currently visiting right now.
On to the real subject, the glass will really only crack if you go from one extreme to the other. So, if you took the jars out of the PC and DIRECTLY placed them into 20 degree temps you'll run the chance of cracking the glass. If you let them cool down a bit and then put them somewhere cool they'll be fine. If you want, make an extra jar, and right after its done put it in the ice bin in the freezer and watch what happens. Personally, my favorite, was getting a 100 watt lightbulb really hot and then hit it with a cold blast of water from a squirt gun. Glass everywhere!! (the geek in me stole it from how they kill the Alien in Alien 3)

With i like to do with quart jars is this. Pressure cook at 15 psi 90 mins, then turn the heat off. Let the pressure drop to 5 psi, and pull the regulator off. Then I take the jars out with a heat pad one at a time and shake them. Set them all on the counter to cool for 30 mins. Then I set them in the sink and put cold water halfway up the jars, and let them sit in cold water for 1 hour.
They are good to go after that.

Then I set them in the sink and put cold water halfway up the jars, and let them sit in cold water for 1 hour. If you put them directly into cold water, about half the jars will break. If you let the jars cool for a half hour none will break. They are good to go after that.
