How long will brf packed jars last before they go bad?
    #3277561 - 10/25/04 11:01 PM (19 years, 5 months ago)

i have 8 half pint jars that I packed with BRF about 1 month n a half ago...They have been in a cool dark area in my room....airtight in the jars.

Should I make a new MRF mix or will these cakes be fine for sterlization/inoculation?

Thanks.

It hasn't been too long. The only concern other than contams I'd have is the moisture level.. but if its only a month and a half and they're airtight, I know I personally would give them a shot. Not sure if its the right answer though :smile:

If they weren't sterilized before you stored them, they're going to be a nasty mess, even if you PC them now.. the stuff that has been growing in there for the last month and a half will have used up moisture, nutrients and airspace.

I'd just make new jars. Substrate is cheap compared to all the time and effort required for a grow, just to have it be the problem.

I made a huge mistake mixing my jars up before I was ready to inoculate and ended up with some pretty nasty stuff growing in them. It's pretty suprising to hear that you have no contams yet. I thought they would immediately grow unless you cooked them right after mixing. I would mix up some new jars just to be extra safe.

A couple of years ago, I had some extra jars (ran out of syringe juice) and I put them away -- NOTE: they were steam/sterilized and had tape over the holes. It was atleast a month later when I used them and they worked fine. If they hadn't then I didn't do a good job of cooking them. I could be wrong, but when my jars are done and ready to be inoculated, I think of them as being similar to the canned foods in my pantry -- able to be stored and clear of nasty stuff.
