So here's the situation: I use wide mouth quarts. I only have the freezer ball container thingy for LI now.

Are you saying I can dump some grain in there with water and puree the shit out of it instead of using a plate and it will work just as well if not better?

How much are you blending the grains and would it differ for me using oats? Also for say 8oz of liquid roughly how much grain would be added?

Are you limited to pouring the slurry or is it thin enough to use a syringe?

SLURRY TYPE 2:
GS2G Transfer(Grain Slurry to Grain jar transfer): wbs grain jar blended and poured into other grain jars.
A ratio of 1 pint grain spawn to 1/2 pint of water was used for 50 quarts of colonized grain.

Do all of this as sterile as possible. Research on sterile technique is assumed prior to this.

1. Fill a pint jar half full of distilled water and place the blade assembly on it. Pressure cook for 20 mins at 15psi. Allow jar to cool.
2. Prepare your clean area(Shmuvbox, SAB, Flowhood) and your substrates and tubs. Setup for spawning.
3. Using a phonebook, break up the grain inside the jar.
4. In your SAB, Take the colonized pint of grain loosen the lid. Loosen the lid of the sterile water pint jar.
5. pour water from water pint into grain pint.
6. place blade assembly lid on grain pint and water pint jar.
7. Blend on your oster blender base. Hold the jar in place with your hand while blending. I blend about 30 seconds.
8. In your SAB, Pour the grain slurry into your quarts jars. You pour by eye about 1 tablespoon volume of slurry per Quart Grain Jar.
9. Wait 3-4 days until full colonization. Give it a day or two more and then your ready to spawn your tubs. You can shake your grain a day before spawning to test for any contamination.

Regular Mouth Lids


Quarts and Pints(Pints will each be used as masters to slurry 100 more quarts each. In the last picture you can see all the colonized pints and 1 quart that i slurried. all the colonized jars are on the last bottom picture. each one of those pints will be used as a master for more than 30 jars at a time)judging from experience, each pint can do at least 200 quart jars of grain. i easily did 30 tonight and had to throw out 2/3rds of the pint jar of grain leftover.

11 day from inoculation of spawns to fruiting the tub


tub 2 had a very thin layer of substrate
fruiting probably tomorrow


i also inoculated some grain with a pe6 gwlc one day before the slurry..  they'll be ready in a day or two

so
slurry 5 days
lc 12-13 days...

day 1 LI and GLC inoculated.


day 2-3. the LI is slightly ahead. but more inoculant was used per jar with the LI. also only 20 quarts were used with LI. that is expected. the jars on the right are a Syzygy clone. Jars on the left are an amazon clone.



GLC Amazon


LI Syzygy

found these regular mouth lids for sip cups. you put the injection port in. wrap it in foil. pressure cook with the regular half pint, pint or quart with blade assembly on them. then after transfer and blend. switch to this lid for pouring. easy and it fits perfectly into the ring. so it was siliconed in.

thats how i used to do before i made the container
