Wish me luck (update)

Going to use my second try with the birdseed tech, just inoculated tonight, only I could not find any Tvyek, so I just used aluminum foil. Hopefully this goes through this time, followed the tech and everything. Last time was just a bad error at my part, ended up having the inoc temps at..oh..107 so, as expected, I grew a jar of contams. I'm watching the temperature much closer this time. Wish me luck!
Update: looks like one of the jars has some Myc, might be my imagination though..
Update: Well looks like my grains were bust, something must be amiss, however it looks like 1 out of 8 jars didn't have any trich. Though I'm sure that 1 jar did. Oh well better luck next time and I'd better review my sanitary tek.

Believe it or not, I found it at Pet.co in the bird section. Anyways it's been kept at about 78 temp wise, still nothing but it's still too soon.

Tyvek is free, and is found at ANY US Post Office. You just take the envalopes for free because they expect you to pay when you actually ship something.
No need to pay for it, or look any further.

You need the tyvek to allow air exchange in the jar, it lets out pent up CO2 while filter'ing anything from getting in. Simply useing foil wont work it needs the air exchange for the mycelium to survive.

I've got a 1/4 hole in the top of the jar filled with poly fill and there's a hole in the foil from the inocc, still no good?

You should have just used the breather as the inoculation point.
No need for two holes when useing polyfil filters
cover up that hole in the foil where you innoc'd, contams will get in. Also, did you use the jar lids/rings or just tinfoil lids?

You jars are destined for failure Beebo, sorry man.
Tinfoil lids work fine with the pfcakes because pf gets a dry verm layer to help aid against airborne contamination, grains dont have this....
I wish I could say you might have some luck but it's highly doubtful.

*laughs* sorry let me clear things up. I put a layer of tin foil on, screwed the cap on with a 1/4 inch hole filled with poly fill, then pressure cooked, waited ad ay and innoced through the poly fill hole.

Also next time put the foil on last, so you can take it off after you inoc. It should be jar..lid..band..foil.

I dunno if maybe it's my imagination, but three days and I think I see a little bit of myc in one.
