Use of synthetic filter discs
    #7593238 - 11/04/07 12:38 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hey, a quick question - what is the best way of using the synthetic filter discs available thru some of the sponsors (specifically myco-supply).

I was looking to colonize some quart jars with rye. Is it better to put the discs under the metal jar lid (with about 5 small holes poked through the metal) and then screw the ring down or remove the lid completely and use the filter disc itself as a lid, screwing down the ring to keep it on.

I would put the lid on the jar first.
with a bunch of very, very small holes in it.
the smaller the better, lots of them.
then the filter disc goes on top of the lid.
then it all gets screwed down with a band.

that way the lid keeps the moisture off of the filter disc.
yet the holes provide the gas exchange provision needed.
the lids get rusty. the discs get old and stained, but it matters not.
they keep on working. for years and years.

does that also go for micropore tape? I have it stuck over holes in my lids and it's got all stained with rust. I was wondering if it still provides gas exchange like that.
