Can you resterilize a grain jar?
    #18757279 - 08/25/13 09:40 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I did a batch of quart jars with brown rice, one lid somehow got loose and open to the open air for a few seconds.  Is it possible to re-pc it?

I'm assuming you're talking about BRF for PFtek? If so quart jars will not work, you want the short widemouth 1/2 pints. Even the taller regular mouth 1/2 pints have problems with slow growth and sometimes even completely stall out in comparison.

uhh sounds weird.

If you've got extra inoculate then try it. Brown rice is dirt cheap though so you might just want to toss it. Why was it opened?

It can't hurt to try.Have you had success using whole brown rice before?
I resterilized 3 wbs jar once successfully,but it may have been a fluke.The main variables I would consider to be moisture content and nutritional loss.

Yeah, repeatedly working the grains like that would eventually turn them into an unusable mush. Especially brown rice.

If it doesn't work then it'll probably be for skipping the soak.

Soak -> PC (While mold spores are germinated and vulnerable) -> Exposure -> Re-pressure cook (With ungerminated spores) -> inoculate -> contam

The ungerminated mold spores might resist the second pressure cooking. I'm going to bet that it will work out okay though, despite the unconventional methods.

Such bullshit :facepalm:

Mold spores die easily, ungerminated, at temps as low as 140F.

The long soak is for bacterial endospores but I don't believe those are a problem either, not after a 90 minute PC and proper moisture content.

You sound like you've never done any trials with these things you speak of.

:thumbup:

If you get mold in your jars after a 90-120 min PC @ 15psi, your sterile procedure needs work or your culture is contaminated.

Is there something wrong with providing correct information in place of bad information?

If so, I've been doing this wrong for a long time :uhoh:

I dunno, man. I was told that soaking before pressure cooking is vital, and skipping the soak can lead to contamination.

I wanted my post to reflect that there's more to pressure cooking than just what goes on inside the pot, and that doing things in the right order is important.

The argument for the soaking is that bacterial endospores will get you if you don't germinate them..I have left jars uninoculated, PC'd, for months and have never found this to be true.

I soak my grains for hydration. 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours...all the same results.

I'm not the only one to question the viability of bacterial endospores after a PC. There has been a lot of discussion in the past.

This of course is all about bacteria.

Mold spores die easily.

You should distinguish between bacteria and mold :thumbup:

I have had jars of pced rye get trich after 2-4 weeks, unopened, uninnoculated.  The argument is that sometimes spores get into the crease of the grain where they get insulated from the heat of the pc to some degree.  Prob. only happens when grains sit around unsold for too long?

Frank,I had this friend in high school who ask if you thought his outrageously stupid ideas would work,then get mad at you for pointing out its flaws.
I thought he would never live to see 20.Apparently though,he sired a great many just like him.
