i think i over dried my spawn, so.......
    #12032350 - 02/15/10 06:50 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

ok last week i was bored so i gathered up 3 qt jars, WBS, Popcorn, and some cracked corn. i was just curious in which id prefer so i was going to test them out. my last attemp with WBS (successfully doone it in the past many times) i skipt the drying part after the simmer and i had no growth bc the spawn was too wet. so this time around i would make sure that didnt happen so i after i simmered all the spawn i let it strain for 30 min, then i laied it out on my counter and let it dry for some time.

it been over a week now and no growth in the jars. ususally with wbs i see myc in 3-4 days. i know the syringe is good:thumbup:

so this is my idea, round up some old syringes. boil some water. suck up the boiling water in the syringes. let cool. inject into the jars. sound like it would be a good idea? any guess on how many cc a jar would get?

thanks alot!

Don't do that, just start over, bro....if you inject water now, it'll just sit on the outside of the grain and cause bacteria eventually.....believe me, I've had these problems before

Only way i could MAYBE see it working, is if you sterilized some water in a jar and drew it from there...but it's more the fact that your grains probably wont absorb that new water and it'll sit on the shell and cause bacteria anyhow

Just either be patient, if you've already injected, or scrap and readapt

You can try it, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work.

Usually the 30 minute strain is all that's required. You just want them surface dry. Some people do this in 5 minutes with a clean dry towel. How long did they sit on the counter? A day or two and they would have been pretty dehydrated. A quick and easy test is the TP test. Just take a few kernels of grain and drop them on a square of TP. If after 10 seconds there is no moisture on the TP they are good to go into the PC. Good luck next time. :smile:
