Quart Jars

I was just wondering if I could use quart jars instead of the hal pint that is recomended? If I do use quart will they yield more?

Depends on what you are using as your substrate. If you are doing the PF tek then stick with the pint jars. You have a better chance of contams in a QT jar. WBS works well with QT jars. Keep in mind that to use QT jars you better have at least a 6QT PC. I can barely fit 2 in mine (and thats tight)

not with a pf brown rice/vermiculite mixture. there's a reason half pints are suggested.

it will take too long first and foremost. and its not a matter of patience there, its a matter of part of your jar becoming so colonized that pins start to appear before the rest is even finished... second problem is how do you propose on getting it out of the jar? quarts have shoulders on the jar, the opening of the jar is smaller than the inside, and a colonized cake is a pretty solid thing, you'd need to scoop it out and break it to bits to get it out

it can be done, but you'll be forced into casing, and the likelyhood of it working out is lower. halt pints are ideal, with pints being ok but not great.

BRF wont work with QT jars as said in the post above. Main reason is because of time.

QT jars work best with grain because you shake them, spreading the myc around to speed colonization up.

Stick with half pinters. Follow the tek word for word and you cant lose.
