Thank you for this great thread Simon!
Its been 2 days since I put them in the jars and also dried for 4 days at 70-75 degrees with 60-65% humidity. As soon as I jarred them in about 2 hours time they rose to 70%. I layed everything on a screen for about 8 hrs then back in the jar and its still 70% with the lids open they stay at 60-65% range.
My question is should I lay everything back out to dry some more (really don't want to over dry em though) or keep em in jars and everytime the humidity gets to 70, open the lid till it gets lower to the correct range? The lid would be open most of the day I'm thinking so how would that effect the process. Or leaving then half open?. I'm using 1/2 gal mason jars. I was also planning on grabbing some humidity packs to help keep it in range.
that's what I did last time, worked great. after a while the RH in the open jars started to stay down with the lids closed. Then I started using the fridge to lower it further after a few weeks.
