So when I'm pasteurizing.. I need to keep lifting up the lid to check the temp of the substrate making sure it doesnt go over 160F, right? Unless I have a digital one with a beeper, of course.

You say to let them pasteurize for 60 OR 90 mins if I like.
I start the timer when I turn the stove off when the substrate temp his 140F. I just leave them in the PC for 60 or 90 mins?




It doesn't hurt to lift the lid to check. Some folks don't even put a lid on the pot.

For my jars I let them hit 165F if they feel like it.  Usually they don't. The idea is not to go over 160F for any extended amount of time during pasteurizing. But a little extra heat for 15 minutes or so hasn't caused me problems before.

I do 60 minutes 95% of the time. I haven't seen a noticeable difference in 60 or 90 minutes.

Ok, so I got it all set up and ready.
Now it says to wait 1-3 weeks for colonization of the tub.
How do I know when it's fully colonized? Will the whole tub be white like it was in the jars?

Also, it says to tape all 6 holes since colonization doesn't need too much FAE and that there's enough provided by the lid.

But the lid doesnt have any holes?

More likely 1-2 weeks. When the surface is completely covered in white it is ready to fruit.

No fresh air exchange is given during colonizing. GE (gas exchange) is provided by the imperfect lid. It doesn't seal perfectly, and that is how it should be.

Yes I am moving next Sunday, the 26th.
Thanks for the well wishes.
It's going to be a HUGE step towards a new life.
I'm excited, anxious, but also a bit sad that I am leaving my mother behind.
It's all for the better tho.

This monotub will be left behind for my older bro to care for.

Some good news tho.
The mycelium colonized the exposed grains really fast overnight.
They were yellow yesterday from breaking them up.
Now they are white again.

The last time I get to see my monotub in person.
I hopped on the plane a few hours ago and am now in Denver transferring flights.
I will be in Las Vegas in a few hours.
I'm staying with my cuzzin for a few weeks until I find my own place.
Cheers to the next chapter of my crazy life.
I gotta start on a brand new monotub all over again lol.

Toss the tub after the harvest.

Until then, use a salt paste to cover any exposed green spots.
