Bulk Drying Chamber Idea
    #15186302 - 10/06/11 12:32 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

So I'm trying to design a bulk drying container that is still somewhat compact. I do have a dehydrator but can only put so much. I need something to hold all the others while the dehydrator is working. So here's the idea, input wanted please.
I thought of taking an extra 52 qt tub drilling holes and to fit dowel rods through. run dowels through the holes across the tub (maybe 3 or 4 dowels each shelf) then placing chichen wire on the dowels for support and window screening on that. Having these shelves in the tub every 3 inches up. The bottom of the tub would have paper towels with damp rip covering the floor of the container. this way I wouldn't have to lay the mushrooms all over my desk and open surfaces. Please let me know what you think. If this is plausible I will build it tonight.

Talkitecture is sometimes difficult to respond to. I recently used autocadd to mock-up an idea I had and posted it here. of course hand drawings work too. Also, don't bump your own thread for at least 24 hours. Sounds like this setup would work, but I would use a different desiccant than damp-rid, because there are better ones out there and if you're serious about growing (which sounds like you are) then I'm sure you could procure some.

Do you know of other desiccants that are better? And where I'd find them?

I also use the small packets on the bottom of a jar with a little paper towel on top of it, then all my dried mushrooms I want to store, just to guarantee their crispness

well I'm using a small (1-2 quart)mixing bowl, with approx 12 med sized mushies sitting in a sieve, clingfilm wrapped around the whole thing (sarin wrap) sealing it off, with an inch thick layer of Calcium Chloride under the sieve (I think that's the same as the Damprid)

so far they've been in there for 2 days and still look pretty fresh. they've shrunk perhaps 30%...

so I dunno if I've put enough in there tbh. But your set-up sounds like it's gonna need LOADS of Damprid.

hopefully someone else will chime in, as it seems like I should have fanned them first, but this is my first time, and I'm gonna get a fan tomorrow :smile:
