The write up on here said 70-80 so I figured 80 would be better than 65.  It's coming along nicely.  Browning in 6 weeks.

Since we're talking lipa's.  I'm about to do a couple Nameko with this tek and was wondering if boiling bran in the water I'm adding might help at all.  Will it still contam since it isn't PCed?  Worth doing?  Stupid thought?

I wouldn't do it with nameko.  When supplementing with bran, you really need to sterilize the whole substrate.  Bran adds a lot of nutrition, which more easily contaminates, so it's general practice to fully sterilize any supplemented substrates and spawn them in front of a flow hood.

There are some species, reishi and oysters come to mind, where one might be able to get away with bran supplementation and only bucket-tek pasteurization, but I wouldn't try it with a weaker, less aggressive species like nameko. 

Actually, here's a thread where I tried supplementing without sterilization.  If you read it you can see some of the issues that may arise.  Reishi defeated the bacteria that came - nameko will not.

Hope this helps :smile:

Even more supplementation?  Yeah, you will definitely have to sterilize and spawn in front of a flow hood.  Or, very carefully, inside a SAB.
