Alcohol + substrate = Big mistake?
    #14275696 - 04/11/11 11:26 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

No signs of growth in 5 days.. SWIM knows there is still time but SWIM'S been thinking real hard on his possible mistakes.

*BRF pretty coarsly ground
*Substrate looks dry (maybe not though)

He flame-sterilized between every jar BUT

**wiped needle with alcohol between every hole

I'm guessing the latter is his demise. Any hope? or should SWIM go back to square one?

Patience. I alcohol between holes and flame between jars. Never had a problem. Also ground my BRF in bulk with a cheap blender...trust me, it was never as fine as the storebought stuff.

Wiping with alcohol is not a problem in itself. The only danger there is putting an undesirable cell on the needle and introducing it into your jar.  That would show up as nasty growth.

Your concern about the lack of growth after 5 days is most likely due to a lack of patience.  Give it another 5 days before entertaining the first thought about inviability.

Is SWIM someone who is me? Why do people keep indirectly talking about themselves? I am so confused when it comes to this kind of stuff. I searched SWIM to see if it's someone I don't know :confused:

SWIM = Someone Who Isn't Me.

Yes, give it some time. I know I waited for 9 days before any noticeable growth in my jars. Of course, I also made the mistake of inoculating the inside of the cake, not against the glass wall of the jar. Rookie move :tongue:

Good luck!
