Two things I found. The lids don't make a vacumme seal to the jar, and the lids are easier to remove in general.

I never have done this, i like the gummy stuff to come in contact with the jar for a sure fire airtight seal, the only time I have problems removing the lid is when the lids are brand new, after one time through the PC, colonization and the dishwasher they dont stick like they used to.

Exactly. The rubber seal makes it hard to get the lid off. You're going to have a hole or two drilled in the hole anyway, so the seal is not necessary. Any circulation will follow the path of least resistance, which is through the drilled hole and filter, and not through the steel to glass 'seal' once the ring is screwed down tight against the upside down lid.

Oh also with a layer of tyvek under the lid it doesnt matter what direction the lid faces.

Except that the tyvek or filter disk should be on the outside of the lid, not inside. If you put it on the inside it will get wet with moisture from the grains and contaminate. Keep it on the outside where it will stay dry. RR
