Holes in a PF Jar
    #5465116 - 03/31/06 06:43 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I was thinking, why should there be four holes? Is there some advantage over just having one big hole in the center? And wouldn't one hole help minimize the risk of a contamination since the syringe A: only goes in once, and B: there's only one hole open to the outdoors anyways?

Any ideas? I'm making a new set of jars tommorow (this is my third try at jars... my last two all got contaminated with blue/green mold) and i'm hoping to find a way that'll minimize risks.

For PF you Do want 4 holes

More inoculations points helps for colonization, fewer = slower colonization


You can use this so the jars can breath

more holes more places to shot the needle down the side of the glass
needle needs to be on the glass

i use a single hole in all my jars. this way when i see growth on the outside of the jars, i know the whole inside has growth already.

the needle doesnt need to be on the glass. I put one hole in the center of my jar lids and then just point it at the sides in 4 places. as long as your not using those little ass half pint jelly jars it works.

your intent is to
completely cover the
outside of the cake
with mycellia
as fast as possible
that helps shut out any contams.
so growth from 4 equidistant points
converge to cover the surface
faster than one central injection.
on larger diameter cakes
i use 6 holes, even faster.
