Really easy, but hard to search for Q
    #10098442 - 04/03/09 12:23 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

When talking about spawn ratios, and more specifically talking about how many Quarts of spawn to use, are people talking about actual full quarts of spawn by volume or quart jars of spawn that are almost ALWAYS filled only 2/3 to 3/4 full.

most ppl only put a cup of say rye in and they expand a lot so it pretty much ends up looking about 3/4 full
but the ratio u probably are seeing is how much spawn to add to the bulk substrate
the spawn will be the lower number like a 1:3etc ration
1 being the spawn 3 being the bulk substrate
i would say though people would count the 3/4 full jar as a 1 quart jar
even if it was spose to be 1 completely full Qt jar i dont think it would make too much of a difference

I often make an approximation to adjust for the empty space when calculating spawn ratio. I doubt this is common and judging by the close spawn ratio recommendations on here using it as if the spawn jars were full would not be the end of the world.

I don't agree. 3/4 vs 1 maybe be negligible, but when using 9 x QT spawn jars for a tub, thats a difference between 9 and 12 jars. that's 3 quarts!

This is exactly the type of answer I wanted but can I get someone else to confirm? You make it sound like not a lot of people account for this.

it doesn't matter if your using as 5:1,4:1 or 3:1 ration i would imagine.

spawn is spawn, it will be fine, if your doin 10:1, simple,. just chuck another 2 jars in to be sure.

Lik I said I do it but does anyone else? Nobody mentions it if they do. Like we said though it shouldn't make much of a difference.
