Have you ever lost a brf jar to contams by knocking it over?
    #26014334 - 05/26/19 12:58 PM (4 years, 7 months ago)

So I've lost some brf jars from tipping them over and breaking the fine verm filter loose introducing contams. Being annoyed by this I did an experiment. Instead of using fine vermiculite I packed the top with extra coarse verm instead. This allows for a thicker filter that can be packed up to the lid so it can't get knocked loose. I intentionally knocked the jars over every 3 days during colonization. No contams at all and colonized 4 days faster than using fine verm. I suspect the coarse allowed more fae. Obviously this doesn't prove anything but I think coarse is safer as a filter and allows more air exchange.
Anyways just wanted to share that with everyone. It works better for me at least.

Cheers.
