Help! Condensation in my incubator!
    #5366906 - 03/05/06 10:05 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Help! After my inoculated jars' first night in a heated incubator I find condensation built up inside my bin this morning. Is water evaporating out of the jars!? Or is that water may have collected on the foil below the lid during the PC sterilization process and tried to evaporate out last night in the 84 degree temperature of my incubator?

u'r fine. just don't let the condensation drip into ur jars and mess up the water ratio. the water isn't from ur jars.

Yeah, The same thing happened to me, though it was expected to get condensation.

I had covered my jars with layers:
-Tyvek
-Jarlid/polyfil 1/4 in. hole
- two sheets of mexican paper towels

the towels were moist in the morning, should I have replaced them?

since - I have shielded the jars from direct moisture contact by doming a plastic grocery bag around the tub inside the tub. =)

Any suggestions? should I add h202 and/or apply that solution to the once moist towel covers?

Thanks!!!!!!~!!!!!

I think you're making too much of controlling the condensation and not enough of just eliminating it. My layers consist of

-Tyvek (will have a hole after inoculation)
-Lid w/ Polyfill through a 1/4" hole
-Tyvek (inoculation hole is covered by tape)

The last Tyvek layer (the only thing that my jars have that you don't use) doesn't have a hole like the bottom layer (as yours will, and I'm assuming from the order that the tyvek you're using is below the lid) which is the only tyvek layer you have. This is the only thing I can think of that would be a source of H2O getting out, but I'd need more info/pics to give you more ideas.

I'm not positive (50/50) that that's where your problem is arising, but I'm just pointing out the difference I noticed between your lids and mine, and I've never had this problem.
