just to let you know that this does not work. Pf cake requires the metal lids. The tyvek breaths too much and will decrease teh yeild amount of a cake. It could also result in contams on your cake. The cake dries out and the exposed brf doesnt colonize. You birth the cake and leave this uncolonized brf exposed and bam, contamed!!

It works fine if you put the tyvek over or under the metal lid with the four inoculation points in it. That way you still get the minimal gas exchange metered by the lid, but you also that extra centimeter of BRF/Verm mix at the top of the jar. Mine are thriving.

What?? Are you still using the straight verm layer?

point of this is that you need the metal lid to hold in that moisture.

No. Hence the tyvek. The lid gates the gas exchange, and prevents the drying out of the cake.

micropore tape is appearently fine too w/o the verm layer
I found that baking my verm before using it in cakes makes a noticeable change in contaminants.

I use tyvek under the metal lid sometimes I use verm, sometimes not. Once I used micropore tape as well, but I tend find that it's not really necessary for my situation.
I dont use the PF recipe, just straight whole brown rice. Haven't had a problem in the last year or so, but actually the last batch I did two days ago did come out of the PC a little dry. But I blame the rice.
