TYVEK OR POLYFILL
    #8883127 -

I am currently making 3 20qt monotubs..  I was reading and some one said that they pefer to use tyvek on the bottom holes of the monotub instead of polyfill..  They added 2 layers one to the inside of the tub and one to the outside of the tub, then they used polyfill for the top holes..  I was just wondering every ones opinion on this as well as what u think would be better.  I got the idea from monstermitch's tek for a mono tub..
Use polyfill or tyvek for bottom holes.
You may choose only one

I was under the impression that tyvek is waterproof but I am not too sure on the exchange of gases. Polyfill is non-organic and will allow for good gas exchange and somewhat of a filter(? on the filter part). Anyways Polyfill, bad at walmart is like $2-3 and well tyvek is free but a bag of polyfill will last you a lifetime. Plus you don't have to wait for shipping for polyfill :smile:

Tyvek has to let gas in cause almost everyone uses it as a Filter/GE on grain jars, you know the tyvek lids..  They are used for GE..

yeah, tyvek will definitely allow gas exchange, but my friend ran into trouble using it on the bottom hole of a monotub because it seems to not be as good at FAE. the tyvek was the only variation from his usual setup and he got 2 flushes and then mold.
it seems like a great idea, because shrooms tend to grow near the holes and you have to pick the polyfil out of them, but after that my friend won't experiment with it for a while. perhaps if you take the time to fan often it's fine.

the polyfil embedded in the stems is annoying. my friend is thinking of building a martha as soon as he has the resources, if only to try it out.
