Ever-expanding spawn bag (pre-sterilized)
    #12801135 - 06/25/10 04:54 AM (13 years, 8 months ago)

So I am doing a test bag of GT in a 3 lb spawn bag with 5 mls of LC.  The bag was bought from a vendor and inoculated within 7 days of purchase (per recommendations from vendor).  I had read on another thread that you have to 'bleed' the air out every few days.  Well, I can't bleed the air out!  I feel like I'm going to pop the bag if I try to bleed the air our the filter patch.  Anyone have experience/advice?  My only next recourse would be to syringe out the air (scary!), but I guess it's better than the bag popping.

i have never had to "bleed" a bag..

however i do push all the air out of the bag before i PC. i just push gently and it slowly releases air through the filter patch.

I've never had a bag expand.  I always trap a bit of sterile air from the flowhood before I seal the bag, but have never had one expand to the point of being tight.  You want a high CO2 level during colonization, so I wouldn't be trying to bleed air out.

Ok, got the bag to bleed, it just goes VERY slowly.  However, the smell is not good.  Doesn't smell like mushrooms, but doesn't smell like dirty feet or sweet.  I think it smells like fermentation though :frown:
