hey I tried that aloha link and can't find a TEK on there...  I have an LC of blue oysters arriving tomorrow.  I have not grown oysters before with success, but was hoping I could have at least some to bring to my family for the holiday.  I have a prepped WBS jar dry and waiting, and two large bags of straw, and 2 questions...

1. is it feasible to get at least a couple pounds within 20 days from an LC?
2. If yes, what TEK do u suggest? and can u link it...again....sry.
and one more..
3.  Are your the holes in ur buckets closed during the spawn run?

Trust me Forrester, I can not attain to sell to all they want to buy. My wife to neighbors sold about 30kg. I sold at supermarkets and meat shops in 20 packages of 500 g and they sell them for 2 days working days. The price of 1 kg is 3.5 euros without stems packaged, and non-packaged from the crate at 2.5 euros.
so far so good..
:grin:

I have a 4 angle barrel off 1000 liters which collects around 60-80 kg of straw around 600-700 liters of water(No washing, no shampoo). Add approximately 7kg dehydrated lime or, wet hydrated lime 12kg. Straw, water and lime I leave 24 hours to soak. Then I leave the moistened straw to drain for about 10 hours.
I spent about 24 straw bales each weighing about 15-20kg. I filled 112 buckets with a capacity of 5kg (real full 3-4kg) 66 buckets of 10 kg (real full of 7-8kg) and 12 bags of 3kg. Spending 40kg mycelium. First flash 3x8kg and 2x25kg and i expect about 2x25kg more in next 5-6 days...

Inspiring stuff. I am using only steam as many folks are. I am very tempted to try this.

My only issue is that I don't like too use to much water. I spray my straw with a mist of water
as it is loaded into my barrels then I let that sit for 24 hours before I
put it in the pasteurizer. It works for me but I like the fact that you use no
heat.

Really really cool stuff.

Cheers

I really want to. But, how do you dispose of your water? I grow a lot
of mushrooms. I go through about 3 50 gallon barrels full of straw a week.

the lime does seem to work very well just watch what type of lime you use as it has a significant effect

Wait a minute... 3.5 euros / kilo? = $4.79 / 2.2lb = $2.17/lb?!?

I'd buy the shit out of them too at that price!

Or did I do some math wrong? :confused:
