Straw issue
    #14215443 - 03/31/11 03:20 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

A few weeks ago i ordered 5lbs of pasteurized straw and was told it stays contaminant/bacteria free for up to 3-4 weeks. Well, today just a day over week 2 and tomorrow i am needing this straw for a monotub. The problem is, when i smell the filter patch, it is a faint smell of a chemical. The closest thing i can pinpoint this smell to is rubbing alcohol or ethanol. I was wondering if any of you knew what this means and if my straw is basically unusable. Common sense would tell me yes, but i would like to be 100% sure because without this straw, my tubs will not happen and i have about 3 grain bags at 95-100% waiting to be spawned.


Any help on the straw would be much appreciated.

I'm not the leading expert on the subject, but I think you are ok. My grain jars still smell like bacteria after I pc them and they still work great. It's prob. just the smell of dead bacteria that were killed in the pasteurization. JMO

Thanks for the response. I should also mention it did smell like fresh earthy straw when it first arrived.
