question concerning shaking grain jars
    #19095456 - 11/06/13 01:41 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Alright, so i know that youre supposed to shake your grain jars at approximately 20-30% colonization, but what exactly does this mean?

If an entire side of my quart jar is covered in myc, im assuming this means i have 25% colonization, and is the best time for a first shake?

How should i shake the jars? (vigorously, lightly, swirly? etc.)

Once it recovers, is there a point in which i should shake them again? (60%, 70%,80%? etc.)

Im mainly asking because, of the few jars that i have shaken, they are all responding differently. Some are recovering beautifully, while others are not. so im wondering if maybe my technique is the problem!

You really should only need to shake once.  If you've got an entire side covered, you're definitely good to go.  What you're going to have to do is tap your jar against a phone book to loosen the grains from the side of the jar, and then shake it to break up the grains.  When they're all broken up I like to swirl the jar to get the colonized grains as spread evenly as possible through the jar.

25-30 percent means when 25-30 percent of the grains in the jar are colonized. Take a guess at it.

I like to shake once right before spawning, just to make sure they recover.

Quit making things more complicated than they have to be. You're over-thinking it.
