frozen grains
    #19378611 - 01/06/14 06:33 PM (10 years, 24 days ago)

So I obtained some pretty sterilized grain jars. During shipping some of them got pretty chilly and froze in spots. Should I sit them at room temp for a while before knocking up?

A search yielded little. Most people were saying their colonized  jars had frozen. These haven't been inoculated yet.

I usually do. The holidays kind of drained me by the time my pressure cooker went up. That will set me back about 3 or 400 until I'm able to get another one in a month or two. I need to get 2014 rolling though so I got some from a vendor.

I agree, just steam them for now, but wait for the glass to warm up so they don't shatter. Also, I love the emperor scorpion in your sig. Is that yours?

Nice, that's a death stalker? I could swear that looks like an emperor. I've considered buying a death stalker, but then I think about my ferret sneaking out of his cage and knocking over the death stalker cage, releasing a horrible venomous tiny arachnid in my room to kill my darling ferret and myself. Maybe one day...

Back to mushrooms now, if you need to start pressure cooking quick why don't you get a cheap 16 quart presto until you have the money for a nice all American. I'd prefer that over buying premade jars anyday. And I've used nothing but a 16 quart presto and it gets the job done, albeit less efficiently than a large all american.

What does the grain freezing have to do with sterility?  You weren't going to steam them if they had not frozen were ya? I would just knock them up.

I actually have a gravid desert hairy scorpion at the moment, I doubt she won't eat them, but it's still interesting. And a 16 quart really isn't that bad. You can get several dozen done in a couple days if you stay up late.

We're worried about sterility since it is a presterilized jar, not cause it's cold. Who knows how long it's been sitting around for, an hour of steam sterilizing is just a good safety measure.

I've done 36 in 2 days. And if you're doing bags you could probably get more. I can fit at least 10 quarts of birdseed if I'm using bags. I could probably fit 15, but I'm scared the bags will swell and plug the hole that releases pressure.
