PC empty turkey bags?
    #21721324 - 05/25/15 03:12 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I have a few jars of sterilized substrate left over from another job. Id like to use it to make a small bag for some lions mane spawn. Is it possible to put a empty turkey bag into a jar and lid on, pressure cook it for 15 minutes so I can then pour the contents in, in front of the flow hood?

My worry is any small pockets of air will expand and blow up the jar, or worse plug up the cooker. If i stuffed it with tyvek sleeves maybe?
Could I just cook the empty bag at 400 F for an hour in the oven? 

Just a thought, Im already ordering some myco bags but in the mean time i want to put this aging spawn and cooked substrate to good use.

Suggestions?

Im sorry if this is in the wrong section. Im growing gourmet so its the closes thing i saw.

Of course you can sterilize turkey bag. I use them for all kind of practical purposes. I haven't bursted any of my bags yet because of high temperature but they are still fragile and you should be careful with them, specially when putting substrate in. Before you pc, make sure there is no air inside of bag, if it is going to be folded, air may not escape during expansion, which could result in bag getting a hole, though its more likely it will adapt its shape to compensate for expansion.

I don't see how jar could blow up? It is made out of glass, while bag is fragile plastic. Use jar with filter so pressure can get even, put tin foil over to prevent filter from getting too moist.



You could sterilize in oven too, get all air out of bag again, it just more crucial here due to even higher temp, put it in jar and wrap tinfoil over, or just wrap turkey bag few times over with tinfoil. Everything works, no special science. You may need to play a bit to ensure your method is 100% successful.


The lack of gas exchange may have bad effects, I would poke a small hole as soon as substrate would be colonized.

Well I am planning on folding it up tight and putting in the jar. Was worried if the bag did expand, it might break the glass. Good to know though. Thank you!
