Can I re-sterilize contaminated wood spawn plugs?
    #19240453 - 12/07/13 11:29 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hi-
Some of my wood dowel plugs have some contamination. The plugs have Myc and mainly look good, but the spawn grain has some trich on it. Can I clean them up and resterilize? If so, do I need to rehydrate them or just rinse off grain/trich and PC?( IE- boil the plugs for an hour again). I've been using Myco Bags, and PCing for 1.5 hrs. Should I PC longer? I boil for 1 hour or until the dowels sink.
Thanks

A long enough sterilization would probably be just fine. A lot of people around here frown upon that but it can definitely work, you just need to make sure to give it a solid sterilization.

Thanks for the response. Would you recommend re-boiling for an hour?
