Well of course it makes sense; I said it didn't I? lol jkjk.. but I know what you mean about 'ideas'. When I was active on this board I read a million "ideas" that I just rolled my eyes at and a handful that I actually gave a nod to.

I'm really concerned about 1 of 2 things and they are really just 2 sides of the same coin:

1. It will dry too fast (although seeing as how it maintains moistures in these jars I'm inoculating; I don't think this will be an issue)

2. It won't allow for enough gas exchange and will allow condensation to build up. (if this happens this renders tyvek useless for me but I can still save that jar by just reverting to the traditional method.

looks like an experiment is in order. I have a harvest coming up in 4 weeks so we will see.
daihashi Reviewed by daihashi on . Curing in Mason Jars with Tyvek? I have started another hobby that uses Tyvek. Tyvek is a plastic material that you can find everywhere. One of the most common places is Fedex. Their envelopes are made out of Tyvek. Tyvek is also a Vapor barrier used in houses and I think you can even get suits for painting or something made out of tyvek. Anyway Tyvek allows for gas exchange while at the same time keeping out contaminants that would allow conditions for mold or other things to spawn. From what I understand Tyvek does not Rating: 5
