Here is the deal. I have everything I need except the spores. I thought they would be here by today.(got Hawk eye e-mail today saying he just got off vacation,, so I figure another week to recieve) I have some time today to prepare the jars and cook them, can I go ahead and get them ready so all that is left is injecting the spores when I recieve them. What do I need to do with them until I inject them??
One more question. I put tin foil over the jars and poke holes in the lid before pressure cooking, correct??
Thanks

you'll be fine preparing now and waiting a day or two to inject it'll also give you a heads up on improper sterilization...that day or two might allow you to see if any contams pop up.
and yes, you'll want a hole in the lid big enough for inoculation, and yes, foil will go on top of that to keep excess moisture from coming into that hole. also, people recommend using tyvek filters between the lid and the rim of the jar
i.e.
foil ---- lid + band ---- tyvek ---- jar
tyvek can be found at any post office for free, as tyvek mailer envelopes for priority mail. make sure its tyvek, if it has a fibrous wavy appearance, and is extremely difficult to tear with your hands, its probably tyvek. you can also order tyvek from the post office for free, and they send it to you in a couple days, to a week. 10 envelopes of it, free... also, dont link directly from this place to the usps website open a new browser =/

Am i OK to store them a week and where should I store them?? the fridge??
Sorry,, one more question. Do i need to place a washcloth or steaming rack in the pressure cooker so the jars do not sit directly on the bottom or is that just if you boil them??

Shit what about pre-sterilized jars you buy from vendors? can you hang on to those for a little while before you knock them up? My friend got some a month ago and knocked up 3 and waited on the other three.
