I'd shake now, and you probably won't need to again. You also need to remove the foil. RR

If you cracked the lids loose then your fine. I actually never used any filters for years during incubating I only loosened the lids a bit never had one single contam! People never like to keep things simple they always think theres a better way, it a shame really. The only thing is remembering to tighten the lids before shaking then reloosening. GL and Welcome

Just make sure you hold your hand over the tyvek before you shake if you're going to do it that way. When you cut an exact circle expecially when they first come out of the pressure cooker it's really easy to shake it and have the cover come off.

Ah no it's not especially when using lids that have lots of gas exchange, the foil helps the culture hold it's moisture content nicely. WORD!
