Went with the pressure sensitive glue. got one one layer up and its looking good. I decided to knock out a little plate incubator while it was drying.


Got the thermostat and heater wired just need to install and see how it goes.

plates like agar plates? I would say use that for spawn. Id hope you only have a few plates otherwise your going to waste a lot of time dicking with agar. A grow your size should only have a handful of strains or shit gets complicated.

Yeah this will be for plates. I worked in a microbiology lab for a long time so I enjoy playing with this stuff in my free time. It's more than enough room for plates I wanted something I could throw a whole culture flask in as well for culturing yeast.

I already have a whole room that is larger than my fruiting room mapped out for spawn and logs to colonize.

Yeah man for sure. I've only been brewing for 2 but have been making wine for 10+ years. My father in law just built a fully automated brewing system for dialing in 10 gal batches so I'm going to try and get and get a good protocol together for making fresh yeast liquid cultures the day before we pitch. So instead of doing a giant 2-L starter. I'll pull one colony from a plate, grow to stationary phase in a culture flask and hopefully find a cheap centrifuge somewhere. But either way pitching that culture flask of fresh young small yeast cells will decrease the unwanted bi products like diacetyl that show up when using older yeast cultures or when you're pushing them too hard.

look into freezing cultures. I believe they suspend the yeast master in a water/PG blend to lower the freezing point. That or just wash it really well with distilled water for your master and store in the fridge. I don't bother with storing yeast masters, at $7 a vial it's not that bad to go buy. If im not making a starter ill use a vial first for a 5 gal low-medium OG batch then save the cake and pitch onto that, or wash with PC'd RO water and store in my kegerator in a 1/2 gal jar for a few weeks.

I find the most important factor for the yeasts impact on the brew is fermentation temp. I have a chest freezer for fermenting in and i strap the stc-100 probe to the fermentation vessels outside then tape a kitchen pot holder over the probe to insulate it to only read the vessels temp. Much cheaper and just as effective as a thermowell.

Nuff off topic sorry :smile:

Call me crazy but don't go keeping your yeast with your mushroom plates.

Yup.. your crazy, neither are ever airborne. Unless you have old ass dishes laying around that are fruiting, either way everything is self contained to a degree.
