Is it ok for spawn to touch filter material when shaking jars? Can wicking of contam occur if filter gets moist? Also, why are things wrapped in foil when sterilizing?

WTF?

your spawn shouldn't be that wet.

but i shake the shit out of my jars... only once.

foil keeps water from comming into the jar.

Thanks, I need to clarify; Why do you wrap shot-glasses and syringes in foil before sterilizing? Is it just to keep them clean after removing them from PC?

yes, you don't want your syringes to get contams on them while they are cooling and not being used.  :regularshroom:

The reason we use foil over our jars when in the PC is because of condensation. The top(lid) of the PC is cooler because it's exposed to the outside air. This causes the steam that contacts it to turn back to water and 'rain' down on your jars. If you didn't have your jars covered, that 'rain water' would seep in and ruin your water/substrate mixture.

If your filters get wet with grain juice, you are guaranteed to have contamination. It's very easy for molds or bacteria to colonize right through a wet filter. The only way a filter works, whether tyvek, polyfill, vermiculite, cotton, or synthetic filter disk is if the filter stays totally dry. That's another reason to use foil when sterilizing, but also a good reason to remove the foil when the jars come out of the PC or steam bath, to make sure the filter material can dry out.
