You should be asking what precautions to take WITH incubators, which imo are useless. They cause far more problems with members than they solve. I haven't used one in years. Jars colonize very well at 75F. They might colonize slightly faster at 80F, but not much. Bacteria and thermophillic molds are stimulated at higher temperatures, so I've had a FAR lower contamination rate from using room temperature, even if it takes an extra three or four days to colonize a quart of rye.

Incubation was pretty useful for mine when I was trying to colonise my jars back in March, when room temperature was something like <65F (England's a chilly place).

If the weather's mild where you are, though, and ambient temperature is into the >70F range, there shouldn't be much difference between using an incubator and not, as RR says.

I saw a graph for cubensis and mexicana of temperature against growth rate the other day, I'll see if I can find it.
