Pf jars
    #22151084 - 08/27/15 11:44 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So today I got my spore syringes. previously the night before I boiled 12 BRF cakes in a large pot. When I pulled out the jars to inoculate them (after sterilizing everything) 8 of the jars were very soggy and had a weird dull white color which I thought could be a mold. 4 of the jars looked okay so I proceeded with those. Also I decided to crack the failed jars open and look they had a very gooey sticky feel and all the dry verm layers were soaked. I couldn't get a look at that layer on the 4 I knocked up hopefully they will be okay. I plan to buy a PC in the future but hopefully these 4 are a good test run. This is my first time ever growing and input would be appreciated :mushroom2:

Don't boil jars. Steam sterilize them of pressure cook. After the pot or PC cools remove them and take the coil off of the lids

I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens with these 4 jars.

Did you cover them with foil in the PC?

He doesn't have a pc yet.

Newbie47 if you did cover them, you may have had too much water in the pot or steamed at too high of a temperature. I'm kind of new also, and my very first attempt I steamed too hot and had the same problem. The heavy boil will get into the jars. I learned that low-medium works really well.

Oh derp my bad. If you didn't cover them, that's your problem.

Like thebug said, you want to steam sterilize at a low simmer.

How do people make such basic mistakes like not covering the jars?

It sounds like he boiled them, which is fine, but some water splashed into the jar. Those jars will most likely stall.

Op, try using less water or raising the jars up or if the water next time.

UPDATE: I recently bought a PC just got done sterilizing 5 jars. I've had growth in the previous 4 jars (Will try to upload pictures) I can't tell if its cobweb or not. I'm 80% sure I have cobweb in atleast one jar.
