Almost Frozen GLC Syringes
    #18730929 - 08/20/13 04:50 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

My stupid refrigerator freezes things! I didn't know this...... I had about 6 GLC syringes... one was frozen solid, the other 5 are still liquid, but VERY cold to the touch.... Do you think the 5 are still alive?

as long as they haven't completely frozen the cell membranes of the tissues shouldn't be damaged.  GLC may give a little "antifreeze" effect too, since it's not pure water, but I also don't know what tolerances mycelia have to "near freezing."  One way to find out!  :biggrin:

try turning your refrigerator temp down a notch or 2.

I was thinking about it some more a bit, if you do try them to see if they're viable, they'll probably be slow and not very responsive.  Happens to me at work all the time, the bigass fridge that the bakery keeps its supplies (for me, yeast) in goes to 26F all the time. 

New boxes of yeast are more resilient, older ones tend to be really crappy.  YMMV.  And I know yeast isn't mushie GLC, but hey, it's close...

So how long had they been in there before you noticed?  If it's only a day I wouldn't worry too much, they're probably still fresh except for the fully frozen one.  If it's been a month?  dunno, I wouldn't chance it unless it's a difficult/ rare variety.
