Jar Lid Tightness in steaming?
    #7011653 - 06/05/07 12:15 PM (16 years, 9 months ago)

okay im doin the pf tek and i want to know how tight the jar lid should be. also, what have people fruited their cakes in? i was going to put 12 in 4x3 columns in a clear rubbermaid tub with a piece of plexi glass cut to fit the inside diagonally, like the dual chambered terrarium in the pf tek. sound good?

thanks

Just screw the lids on tightly before you PC and make sure you use tyvek before capping them. You're probably using 1/2 pint jars, so use 1-1.5 cc's of spore solution per jar. Inncubate in a black trash bag on a shelf above your fridge and fruit in a clear to opaque rubbermaid, I'd use a 90 qt rubbermaid, with 2-3 inches of perlite on the bottom. Fan 4-5 times daily and you should do allright. Also, the hell with the plexi glass, it's cheaper to get some painters plastic drop cloth at 3 mil thick, and duck tape it.

Hope that helps.
Also, watch the Mushroom Growing Made Easy video in my signature.

in response to nibin, no they're flat like 4 x 3. not in stacks.

and thanks stoned myconaut. but, when you say use tyvek, do you mean in substitution of the pf tek suggested tin foil? also, how do i keep it humid? i want high humidity but condensation dripping alot back onto it all is bad...right?

Good idea. You can see a video demonstration of it on either yahoo or youtube. The yahoo version is here: http://video.yahoo.com/video/search?p=mushroom+cultivation&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-501&ei=UTF-8 Be sure to watch the 4 parts in order. Yahoo has them out of order on the page.
