I have read and watched PF TEK several times. Unfortunately in my haste I think I may have inoculated my jars too quickly after PCing them. They were not hot but a little warm. Only waited 3 hrs after the PC. I did more jars today and WILL wait until they are cool. Anyone think I have a chance with the first 5 jars? :huh:

The middle of the jars were problly still to hot,hot enough to cause thermal death, so I doubt you will see anything.
But leave them for a couple weeks just in case.
You never know.
I speaking of 1/2 pint jars.
Not pint jars.
Pint jars would still be to hot in the middle and you will not get anything.
Let them set for at least 8 hrs.

They are 1/2 pint. I will let them sit. Another question if you don't mind. I noticed the tape was removed from over the holes after inoculation. I t never told you to remove it. Just somethin I noticed. Remove tape or leave on? :huh:

Some take it off and some leave it on.
Beings your doing BRF you have the dry verm barrier that acts as such,a barrier against contam.
So you can take them off.
See what works best for you.
Take some jars and remove the tape, and take some and leave the tape on and see what works best in your favor.  -_-
