Updates!

Here are the cased and colonized tubs, patched and fruiting:





I cased two of these tubs at 100% and put them into fruiting conditions (1/4" casing layer).


I waited to see a few pins on the last three tubs and then I late cased those (1/4" casing layer).

Frank I like the technique of expanding 1 quart jar to a 6-quart bag. But all I have is a 13" tall SAB. What do you use? I know flow hoods are advised when using bags, but I'm curious to see how you G2G to bags.

Thanks for posting all this stuff

No problem 
I do them in my SAB. Here's my text-only tek, there will be a full one eventually 
Quote:
FrankHorrigan said: These bags are tall so this posed a problem for me and my still-air box. I had about 80% success working with these in my SAB alone with no tent. The bags would need to be unfolded and held at weird angles and it was really a mess. I would often lose bags when I bumped the lid of the SAB while pouring my master jar in, or worse the grains would spill out on to the floor of the SAB.
So I bought myself a 3' x 3' x 6' grow tent to provide a "still air room" to work inside of. My house is old and shitty, so I put this up in the room with the least amount of drafts and windows. I make sure to turn off my central air and close any doors or windows in the room.
I do not work inside with the tent sealed. Instead, my chair is positioned halfway in the tent and the door flap rests on the back of the chair.
Obviously, extensive precautions need to be taken here. I shower, wear gloves, sleeves, a cap and a mask. I move as little as possible, using only my wrists whenever possible while working in the SAB. Your sterile procedures need to be on point.
If you're still with me, here is the text-only version of Frank's bag tek
1) I use large filter patch bags with a .5 micron filter[/url].
2) I prepare approximately 7-8 cups of dry WBS per large filter bag. This comes out to roughly five quarts of hydrated WBS.
3) Once the grains are done steaming in the strainer, I open up my filter bag. You'll need to learn how to fold the bottom of the bag so it comes out fairly flat without a lot of gaps or folds. Once you get that right, load the bag with the WBS.
4) Following RR's procedures I insert a tyvek sleeve into the bag so it is touching or close to the bird seed, with the other end of the sleeve sticking out the top at least a couple inches. I fold this accordion-style (3 folds) and place the bag in my PC, on top of the canning rack.
5) When running multiple bags, you need to prevent the bags themselves from touching the sides of the PC and the other bags. I place rings from jar lids around the bags themselves, 2 on each long side of the bag and more if need be. If stacking the bags, I place a canning rack between them.
6) I put a heavy plate on top of the bags in the PC to keep them from expanding. You want to remember to separate the plate from the bags with either jar rings or another canning rack.
7) I load my AA921s with 4 of these bags each, and PC them for 2 hours @ 15PSI.
8) I let these cool for 12-24 hours. Then I move them up to my tent and go to work breaking up the master jars.
9) While following proper sterile procedures, I take the lid off my SAB and place one bag inside. I wipe down one master jar with an iso-soaked paper towel, then loosen the lid a little and wipe the rim carefully. Then I place it in the SABand leave the lid covered with the iso-soaked paper towel. I wipe down my gloves and the outside of the bag as well.
10) Here's another part that is tricky to explain: you need to pull the tyvek sleeve gently but firmly, while unfolding the bag at the same time. When done right, you will unfold the bag, pull the tyvek sleeve out the top, and work the edges so the bag is completely unfolded and open.
Quote:
It's very obvious when you see it but since I have no pics at the moment, I apologize for not being able to describe it better. Suffice to say, it is very important that you are as careful as possible once you begin opening the bag.
11) I pick up the master jar and remove the lid, carefully placing it on the floor of the SAB. I use that hand to pinch one side of the bag (holding it open) and pour in my colonized grain spawn with the other hand.
12) I put the master jar down carefully and using both hands, I fold the top of the bag down three times, about 1-2" per fold. This seals the top pretty well, so I fold it three times inward from each edge, then apply my zip-tie very tightly.
All done.
