Wow snakebite, those look great. I'm exited to try the method. Please update with the results, especially the buckets!

Hey guys,
I am also really enjoying my experience with lime water pasteurization. Last 4 runs were pasteurized this way.
Using clear, food grade buckets with 3/8" holes. Nice to be able to see the substrate colonization. Colonizing and fruiting outside in the shade.
pics taken 30 minutes ago.
 
2nd bucket has been colonizing for 3 days. easy done in a week I think.
 
nice, rainy weather we are having here.
Lime water pasteurization is good.

Those almost look like they could use more air... it's borderline, but... you've got quite a few oysters in one room, they're going to produce a LOT of CO2 and you may need more airflow than you think.

Good to see everything is going smooth Snakebite! Curious though, when you refer to aloha method you mean lime pasteurization correct?

Thats awesome! I know others were experimenting with the lime and sawdust as well. Do you soak any longer, stir more often, or anything else along those lines with the sawdust in place of straw?

Hell yea!! Think of all the energy we all saved just from these few grows! It's the wave of the future. Keep experimenting y'all.

My Eryngii finally works on Aloha Lime method. This is made on 10/10/2013. Today is 11/23/2013. Fruiting bodies after 42 days at an average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and relative humidity of 85%. It is slow, but it is great, I am satisfied.

Hey guys !
Harvested this bucket of lime water pasteurized pearl oysters a few minutes ago.
   very cool to just mix hydrated lime with water (no heat). Really spoils a guy not having to use heat energy for pasteurization.

I agree.. good harvest, preheat the pan, cool the wine, reduce the light, make yourself a great dinner.

All of these lime grows are very inspiring. I've yet to attempt it, but you guys are really making me want to jump it. This is lowest Magnesium content lime that I've been able to find locally, but I'm a bit confused by the label & percentages.
I thought that hydrated lime was supposed to be calcium hydroxide, but this stuff (although called Hydrated Lime) looks to be mostly calcium oxide. Can anyone with lime knowledge weigh in on this?

Well, it's not what you want. My farmers co op has it. Product is made by a cement company. So maybe try a cement company?

Calcium oxide turns to calcium hydroxide when mixed with water. I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Wait, no, my bad. Don't do that. Apparently Calcium oxide, when mixed with water, produces a violent exothermic reaction which is very dangerous to inhale and can easily start fires. Best to stick with Calcium hydroxide that has been produced through the CaCl2 and NaOH method, rather than the CaO and water method.
