One note about the standard drill bits leaving burrs - if you drill a small pilot hole ahead of time, then the hole with the 13/64 bit will not leave burrs behind. Twice as many presses, but it solves the problem for the more common bit.

That's actually a great tip all around. I used to just drill once until a coworker said use a small drill first and itll go faster. I'm like no way, but there's some truth to that especially if ya got to drill half inch or bigger holes on thick metal.

What I’ve always done is put the lid on top of the ring, get a decent sized nail and one tap with a hammer for each hole. It goes right through, the only problem is the hole can be almost square shaped. I knew this technique but of course i just bought plastic lids for my mason jars and wanted to try out some of those glad style quart PP5 screw on containers. They were 3 for $2 so no biggie if it’s a loss. I forgot to check for a gasket type seal, but if not I’ll just parafilm it.

I agree on using only metal lids. I'm using a hand punch to make the holes, no sharp burrs. A couple of things I'd recommend. Use a wood block under the lid to provide backing. Better yet, make a jig that helps place/locate the lid in position on the drill press. Use a wood block and add a couple of strips of molding on top (glue them down). The two molding strips are placed at right angle so that when the lid is slid in the depth of the hole is quickly located from the edge of the lid. The jig will help speed the hole making process up and yield repeatable hole placement. The jig assembly is clamped down to the drill press table.

You sharing all your knowledge is so helpful! So the syringe filter is only for gas exchange? BTW, was a journeyman machinist, and saw a guy have his little finger pulled off his hand, when using gloves for hot chips. Suggestion: Use a non-lid-deforming clamp/block that you can drill right through to make holes in the lids (use scrap wood/plastic/aluminum, etc block to distribute clamp load on lid) clamp multiple lids together, and use a wood/plastic sacrificial block below the lid too, even if you do one at a time. The back-support on the drill breaking through the lid will vastly reduce the lid's hole deformation. If you clamp the block so the drill goes through the same hole, it will also drastically reduce burrs and deformation. The clamp will also mitigate the danger of spinning lids, etc. You should be able to do 50 lids at a time easily. You are the mushroom master for sure, so I'm happy to give you a couple tips, if you're interested. Keep up the great work!

You make a great point about how cheap lids are. I've been wondering why it seems like such a major sticking point for people, especially beginners. Obviously a newbie will want to start as cheap and simple as possible. But i think it's deeper than that. Lids are such a common item, and we're deeply familiar with how important it is for them to be unmodified. Then to go buy something, just to drill holes in it and make it 'useless' for it's "Typical" purpose, it's just a weird sort of thing to mentally overcome, particularly for people who really hate to waste things. even though it's not wasteful at all if it serves it's purpose to your needs. Combine that with how important a good lid is for growing. Add in all the different opinions and claims. And then throw in how many or few lids you might need to make, and remake, all while your mushrooms are depending on a good lid, it's a weird thing for people! it's a funny thing to watch and experience. The lids really are so stupidly cheap. But for a newbie, having to go out and buy/make 20+ lids that might not even work for you, just to find out you need a different material and more lids to try again, ending up with a pile of garbage lids that can't be used, etcetc, I can see how it would be so daunting! even if in reality they're so so cheap and stupidly helpful in the hobby! and although drilling all those holes can seem like a big project (and it IS), it's also stupidly simple and the time you spend making the lids makes your life so much easier down the road. i'm only just now getting some oysters fruiting, so i'm still fairly new to the hobby, yet i'm struggling with the weird mental side of it all! growing myc really shines a spotlight on your mental state. gives a great way to observe negative patterns or beliefs you might have. i already knew the magic ones were incredible teachers, i guess i just didn't realize that ALL mushrooms were that way! so given all that, i can see why lids become such a weird sticking point for people. a lot of people struggle with the everyday value of things. it's hard for us to truly appreciate it all! you get the cheap-skates who have to let go of the value of pennies (like accepting how stupidly cheap lids are lol!), and you get the loose-pockets who end up respecting the power of a dollar more (realizing how much you can grow for so little, and being able to see how much MORE you could have gotten if you were more money conscious). etc. love it. thanks for all the videos!

Speaking of money and purchasing power if money was backed or redeemable with gold and silver then ya we’d have good purchasing power. Inflation is not low. For some people though it is nice to DIY or have DIY projects not just to save money, but to grow and learn yourself. Honestly I think a lot of channels are making way more money by educating people because then people feel like oh that guy is knowledgeable I’ll buy from them. Even if people make their own lids they’re far more likely to buy LC from mossy creek. North spore does similar things. I watched a girl inoculate logs and was talking how north spore taught her and she bought stuff from them. It’s sort of like freemium. Companies offer free stuff and then people can upgrade or pay money. It’s a great marketing and selling tool.

If one of your LC jars can make 40-50 10mL syringes. How long will the self healing injector port(SHIP) last, will it need to be replaced at say 30 uses being poked that many times, or are they good for the entire use of the LC jar and when you make another batch of LC replace it then? Because each time you poke the SHIP you are taking a small chunk of it out.

We just make a whole new lid each time we make up a jar of LC. You can reuse the lid a few times, but the injector port should be replaced each time.

I’m new to mycology I tried this and wasted 100 dollars worth of syringes because there wasn’t enough gas exchange (I used 13mm dia .22um pore size). I’m sure if I had used the same brand syringe filter as you it would have worked. Ironically the only culture that worked was the one with a white lid and as I just learned from your video it was because the white lid had built in gas exchange. I did discover however that albino a++ was able to survive with less gas exchange while the 5 other strands did nothing.
