slim, as long as you have good syringes from good vendors.

I say very slim as you said "do everything as it says"

but I think the chances of beginners doing "everything as it says" are even slimmer! :wink:

i.e. take no shortcuts!

PC correctly, wash hands, clean clothes, alcohol wipe anything important, and spray some oust or lysol all around the room and you should be fine. Ive forgotten many of those steps one time or another and still didnt get contams.

Follow all directions. Don't skip any steps. I am a newbie, but have inoculated close to sixty jars with not one contam. Here is what I do:

Pressure cook the jars. Leave jars in PC, don't touch it until you are ready. Spray the room air with some sort of antibacterial spray. Wash hands. Wear gloves and a mask. I bleach the table before doing anything. Wipe everything with rubbing alcohol that might come in contact (directly or indirectly) with the needle. (gloves once you put them on, handle of the pressure cooker, lid of the jars, etc...) I use paper towels to apply rubbing alcohol- use a different paper towel for everything. I find it convenient to have a sprayer with rubbing alcohol instead of the bottle it comes in.

This has worked great for me. 0% contam rate. Good luck with yours.
