Keeping out contams but having air exchange?
    #5967631 - 08/15/06 09:05 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Well my situation is that I don't have any tyvek right now so I have to improvise with keeping out contams but stil allowwing air exchange. All I have is micropore tape, foil, etc. I am trying to PC, inoculate, and incubate so I plan to have my rye jars with the small hole for inoculation covered with micropore tape, cover the big hole (air exchange) with micropore tape, covering the whole thing with a coffee filter, and then foil on top. Then I will put this into the pressure cooker. I will then take off the foil and let it cool. For innocuation I'll then take off the coffee filter and put the needle through the micropore hole. After inoculation I'll retape the hole.

So with this method, will my jars be safe from contamination but stil have enough air exchange?

yeah, it *should* work, assuming the micropore isn't melted/damaged in the PC process... whenever i've used micropore for anything i've applied it after PC'ing so i'm not really sure there.
