This is a great idea. My only concern is volume. Are the jars as large as the deli cups that black jungle and josh's frogs sell?
mason jars are two-piece lids. the center piece is detachable.How did you cut out the center of the lid?
Correctmason jars are two-piece lids. the center piece is detachable.
You are correct on this. It is more trouble, but I have 2 curious cats, one of which is a hyper kitten who loves to knock stuff over, so a screw on top is actually good for me. However those without this problem would probably hate to screw the cap on and off.My only concern with this idea is it seems like it would be a little harder to screw off/on the top rather than slapping the lid on the deli cup.
that's how I always worked itThe quart sized jars are essentially the same size.
Those are going to let mites in and out of your cultures. May I suggest using a coffee filter instead of the mesh. I have used coffee filters with mason jars before. You may be able to use the coffee filter in addition to the mesh.
No need to cut the coffee filter. Just lay it on top and screw down the lid.
Ace's hardware will allow you to special order them, and you won't need to cover shipping.During the summer and fall you can get them at Lowe's, Home Depot, WallMart, Safeway, King Soopers.... They are very hard to find in the winter as nobody is doing any home canning.
It might depend on where you live. We have them year round in grocery stores here.During the summer and fall you can get them at Lowe's, Home Depot, WallMart, Safeway, King Soopers.... They are very hard to find in the winter as nobody is doing any home canning.

Hah! Nope, they get their own section of shelving, next to the charcoal, where I shop. If you can't can it, bbq itnext to the pig's feet and possum bottoms?
