How long after I've sterilized my jars can I wait to inject the spores? My spores should arrive tomorrow but I wanted to sterilize my jars tonight and let them sit overnight.

-I've never experimented with that, I wait until they cool to room temp. If you wait too long new bacteria might develope and contam ur jars after innoculation. I would reccommend waiting until you have the spores because you don't know exactly what time their coming.

They SHOULD arrive morrow... u camt be sure. patiance is a must in this hobby.i suggest wait til u recieve ure spores then pc (or pf). y chance it, like pw said, y give other shit extra time.
I actually after sterilizing my jars wait 36 hours before inoculating them and it seems to be working for me. I have learned that after 36 hours if the jars look good still you won't have any contamination. I also one time cooked a set of jars and waited two weeks before inoculating and had no problem. But normally I think inoculating within 36 hours is the best.

I wait like 6 to 8 hours and mine have always turned out great.
