Bands Loose or Tight?
    #5756641 - 06/16/06 09:20 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Have a quick question.. Does it make any difference whether I keep the jar tp bands tight or loose during sterilization? I didn't put any tape over the holes, covered the tops with two layers of tin foil, and PC'd 8 jars at 15 PSI for an hour. They're still chilling out in the P-cooker, and I plan to inoculate this evening. Read somewhere that leaving lids loose can result in too much moisture and prohibit growth.. Any suggestioins?  :syringe:

I tighten mine so they're snug and have never had any problems with it.

I left mine loose.. You think that'll affect the substrate adversely?

Slightly loose gives better gas exchange which produces healthier cultures. :wink: Seems to me this question has been asked three times already this week is it me or Alzheimer's?
