Jar Lids Sticky-Side Up?
    #5562020 - 04/27/06 08:55 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Someone just told me that the Bell jar lids are supposed to go sticky-side up and then the ring gets attached. I put them into my PC sticky-side down. They're PCing now.

How bad is this? I've seen both methods listed so I didn't worry about it much. Should I stop the PC and invert the lids?

Didn't affect my jars, so I'm guessing you should be fine.

its no problem at all. original thinking was with them upside down they wouldn't seal, and you can loosen the ring to allow gas exchange. but... if you have holes in the top and a dry verm layer (for PF) you can just leave untaped, or a tyvek/polyfill/whatever filter in a grain jar, you get plenty of exchange that way and its no biggie if the lid seals on tight.

Air will take the path of least resistance, which means it will pass through the holes in your lid and the filter or verm barrier before it will pass under the tight metal/glass seal of the lid. You can use the lids either direction, but we usually put them with the rubber side up to make the lids easier to get off.
