They're stuck!!
    #11278103 -

Couple questions.
1) Self explanitory- invetro pins I let go for shits and giggles, but they're jammed in damn tight, how the &^%#$ can I get them out without breaking the bottle?



2)*last question*
I've read here and there that bruising causes loss of potency. Now, just how much of a loss are we talkin? 50%, 2%, or just a misguided myth or assumption?
I ask because as you'll see, I like to draw, and I find the blue bruising factor interesting, and the stems a blank canvas.
Am I curious about potency loss?-yea
will I stop doodling on stems?... probably not, unless the loss is measurably high (and myth-busted)

Thoughts?

held nice and still in the jar, and I can be more generous with my time as it won't dry out, ... Just won't come out either! :crazy2:

If I have to break it open, I'm going to wait till the others mature a bit more.
Think if I crack the glass at stress points, it may break around the cake, leaving the cake itself, for the most part, unharmed. I wouldn't mind a second flush off this one :grin:

lol all contingent upon the overall colonization of the cake ... some ppl dont know that a small column of non colonized material will usually run down the middle if released from the jar just a little earlier than what it should be ( cant see inside so its a common mistake) in that case it would just bore out and not grab ....

Said to hell with the jar (when I was stocking supplies I didn't realize any cakes I made in them wouldn't come out in one piece. And (oh this is steaming my ass bad!!) I haven't had so much as 1 pin with any casing I've tried. They just sit for weeks until they finally get contaminated, dry, anything but pin!!!

So, using the ball of a jewelers hammer, (don't ask) I laid the jar on a slab of concrete on it's side, tapped around for gaps (hollow sound) and gave it 1 good tap on the seam. only issue was the shattered glass dust and shards that embedded themselves into the cake from the pressure. Brushed it off with a soft paint brush and tooth brush for the peaces really embedded, (both sterilized in alcohol) rinsed the cake real good, sprinkled with verm, put back into the FC only picked the biggon, biggest I've gotten so far. But the casings are a real bitch. (just using straight verm and crumbled brf cakes, ... all I have for the time being.
Wanna know what this weighs?
