Use 1/2 pints. 1/4 pints not only dry out too fast, they leave very little substrate to support a flush. In fact, after the verm barrier is added, they're quite a bit less than half the size of 1/2 pint cakes. Performance is much better with the correct size jar.

Hey RogerRabbit, your video is amazing.. I ordered it and found it great!
I did a search on 1/4 pint jars.. and i heard they are pretty good for casing! What do you think?

I'd boiled mine for 90mins

next time I'd go with the 1/2s
RR is likely right

but sometimes you go with what you've got.

nope, but that's probably what will happen
maybe a dunk and roll for a couple (just to see) and a nice peat/verm casing for a few.

guess we'll see.

next time going with the standard 1/2s is a good idea IMO
now that I've been told the 1/4s aren't as good, it makes sense, but I didn't consider it until today.
