Do I have things right? (third try)

Well... I started over. This time i think i got things down. I rinsed my grain in piping hot water before putting into jars. I added a knife tip of gypsum. Had premade 50/50 mix jars left over and just added water. PCed all the jars for an hour with filter discs on them... I had no aluminum foil though. So that could have a consequence. I don't know. I left the weight on the PC and let the PC sit over night. Took a shower the next day, disinfected the room with clorox spray. Wore mask and gloves. Used 91% isopropyl on paper towel to wipe syringe needle. I set everything up. I used 4 grain jars. Unscrewed the tops. I made sure the filter discs stayed on the jar while unscrewing the outer part. Grabbed syringe and wiped it with alcohol. Lifted the disc slightly and tryed to inject spores in as quickly as i could straight down one side. I injected 1 cc into each jar. Making sure to wipe with alcohol after every injection. Then i screwed the outer part on the filter discs and places all 4 jars into my mini incubator. It is a single tub with an aquarium heater on the bottom and filled with water. I just placed the jars into the water for incubation. Sooo..... Does all this sound good? Also.. will the lack of aluminum foil during PCing screw up things? I appreciate all input on this. This is my third time so.. i'm making sure i have things right, lol. Later people.

well, you should shake grain jars as soon as the pc is cooled down enough to where the pressure is equalized. and can't you inject through filter dics? that would seem much more clean than lifting and injecting(though if done in clean, still air it shouldn't be that big of a deal) and DO NOT put jars in standing warm water, that's asking for trouble just let em sit out at room temp

That tin foil is pretty important. Use heavy duty tin foil.
In this hobby you can't cut corners and expect results.

Yea... i shook them as soon as the PC was cool. The bottom half of the rye was stuck together and pretty moist. It's prolly cause i didn't use the aluminum foil during PCing. I'm hoping it doesn't cause problems. Hmmm.... I don't know if you can inject through the filter discs. If you can that would help out ALOT. Anyways... thanks for the feedback. I hope to hear more from more people. I'm a newb so... lol. Later Guys.
