Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.

Yea thats normal for pr. Its the highly ryzmorphic(sp?) mycelium that looks like strands. I think if you add a marble to the jar it helps break up the mycelium "balls" But do so before you innoculate

Try adding a 1/4 teaspoon of nutritional yeast. It will make that mycelium grow like crazy. It will make the Karo tek turn a bit caramel colour but don't worry abou that it is normal. What you will notice is that the mycelium will start to grow a lot faster and in large clumps. And yes put that marble or some broken glass in there to stir up.

Could I use just regular yeast used in coocking? If so can it still be sterelized?
