Medium Mania jars
    #5666523 - 05/23/06 09:09 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Just received my jars from medium mania and am surprised that there is no dry layer of vermiculite as the pf tek requires.

I am very nervous about how things will turn out now. Never worked with jars that did not include the dry layer of vermiculite.

I covered the holes with the coffee filters & medical tape they provided...but I am still very nervous.

Any advice or thoughts? Is the dry layer of vermiculite something that is often eliminated?

I know a certain one who has used it many times with no extra layer and still turned out perfect :thumbup:

Argh...I am so ocd about all of this...

every other time have made my own jars. follow all the steps exactly. never had a problem. so this is just a shock to me, to see that the jars had no dry layer.

i think my sterilization methods were ok for the room, lysoled the whole thing (small pantry, no vent). mopped floor with clean mop, antibacterial solution. bathed before entering room. lysoled hands and self.

i really hope it goes ok.

also...they included cut up pieces of us mail paper instead of tyvek filter disks...???? does this work the same way???

It's tyvek paper hopefully. You can use it as a filter on your jar lids.

It should work fine as long as you were sterile during inoculation, you shouldn't have any worries.
