I chose making bigger holes in my lids over removing the foil. but yeah more gas exchange could be needed.I've always read that you should remove it to give the jars better FAE. Although I doubt it makes a huge difference.
you dont even really need any type of filter if your area is steril, I dont even use lids any more! but i digress, some people prefer that extra layer of protection vs the extra gas exchange, i sometimes prefer both.on pf tek you dont need to keep foil on
if your really worried and dont want to use foil i like to use micropore tape Good luck!
Really no lids? Never new that oneyou dont even really need any type of filter if your area is steril, I dont even use lids any more! but i digress, some people prefer that extra layer of protection vs the extra gas exchange, i sometimes prefer both.
Yeah most people need some tpye of filter, i started playing around with no lids, and i got jars to colonize sooo much faster, my jars before where definitely choked by one of the things i was doing... lids, filter, and or foil.. so i cut it down to just filter and foil. or just lid and foil.Really no lids? Never new that one
But i dont have a dedicated area to make sure is steril 24/7 so that extra layer of protection brings me comfort
Well thats nice to know. I will experiment with that next time!Yeah most people need some tpye of filter, i started playing around with no lids, and i got jars to colonize sooo much faster, my jars before where definitely choked by one of the things i was doing... lids, filter, and or foil.. so i cut it down to just filter and foil. or just lid and foil.
