Sterilize substrate in pot of boiling water
    #20972412 - 12/13/14 06:35 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

I read that water is sterile once its reached a a boil, that's 212°F, so from the point of a boil is 30 mins long enough for the substrate (Vermiculite and BRF) in half pint jars to reach that temp and become sterile? All other forums say 60-90 mins boiling.

Where did you hear/read 30mins, it sounds like you read it being advised on this forum while other forums say 60-90mins.

Your substrate needs to reach sterilization temps throughout for 90 minutes. 30 minutes will not suffice.

You can sterilize water and agar mix for 30 minutes and be fine, but a substrate needs time to build and maintain high heat.

besides that we steam them not boil them. the water should only be a few inches deep and only go up an inch on the side of the jars if at all. watch the PF tek video. let's grow mushrooms
