Nope, not done anything with it except clone it. When I found it it was the few days above 0C for a week, it was wet and about 8C ish.
Is there any info on the Nebro - didnt it come from the Exotic co-op thread ? Must be some parameters somewhere. Obviously just treaing it like Eryngii does not work!

Thing about shiitake you know its going to be long and its not bad cos once you get the block in to fruit it takes about a week, plus 75 always puts out.
I did but i caught the second flush and you have little environmental control, ive failed in indoor fruiting.

If you are comfortable with electricity, get one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/dual-safety-thermostat-7/21275 and one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/tank-coupler-15mm/82376 Cap an 8" bit of 15mm copper pipe, mount inside tank using tank coupler, put thermostat probe inside pipe(from the outside!), set to 65C and use it to switch the supply of the steamer. Don't forget to earth it and insulate it well! Dont see why it would not work.
awsome m8 will look into this for sure.

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good link for an impulse sealer?
I bought the cheapest one I could find on ebay, but its awful. It leaves pits and holes in the seal, lower the timer and it doesn't form a complete seal!
Cheers

this looks promising will call tomorrow;

from Solarity on another forum;

Good score!
For any UK based readers having difficulty finding these in food grade, you might consider copper water heating tanks,- they are about the same size when you cut the top off and despite the price of copper cabn still be picked up used quite cheaply.

EDIT; called then today;
MINIMUM ORDER 50 DRUMS. HOOT!

What area are you in Fractal? I have a friend who makes bio diesel, they have loads of them. Not sure if they got any spare but I can try and find out tomorrow if you like. He's in the Oxfordshire area if that's any good for ya..

Oh well, sorry then, can't do much you ya'.
I would've thought you could find one at a builders yard for sure, you tried asking local merchants/tradesmen if they have any sitting around? Or floating in the Tyne...
