Jars colonizing at different rates? What do?
    #22344860 - 10/07/15 11:12 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Before I got my current pressure cooker I had a lot of trouble with different, really terrible pressure cookers that I had a hard time working with as a newbie. In this mess, I did manage to get 3 jars (out of... 12?) to colonize from different batches.

I now have 2 fully colonized jars and one jar that's 3/4ths colonized. Should I just spawn the two colonized jars to one tub, am I able to add the extra colonized jar later on...? Or should I just add them all?

Edit: Here are the jars for reference:

Put the ones that are done in the fridge untill the third jar catches up. Just be careful not to freeze it. There's no way to add it later that I'm aware of.

Alright then, picture this if you will:
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" post, just outside of Area 51.
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping...
Holy fucking shit!

Thanks Pablo! :smile:

I take it they'll eventually "go off" if left alone? How long would it usually take for a jar left at room temperature to go bad?

How sterile does the fridge have to be?

Actually, even from just looking at it, and from the time it's taken so far, the mycelium seems to be really struggling in the other jar. I mean it's taken almost 2 months to get to this point, I'm actually thinking the grain might just be overly dry.

I don't want to bank my batch on this one jar, but if I can refrigerate it at any point I might keep it to add to the next batch which is on its way.

How long can it be refrigerated for?

Usually with grain spawn you will have time for the rest to finish up without hurting anything. I've had grains that were 3 months old before and apart from a little metabolite they worked fine.

But yea, you can put in fridge I suppose but even a "clean" fridge is dirty as fuck.

Two "dirtiest" areas of a dwelling are the toilet and fridge...lol...  just sayin'.... :thumbup:

PS - was just curious to the foil on the jar... :shrug:
I assume you have some type of filter on the lids. Covering with foil will limit GE if it is tight & likely cause colonization to slow down and sometimes stall.

I've never had grain pin in the jar before and I've left them out of the fridge for a few weeks no problems. They'll survive in a fridge for a few months. And your fridge sterility shouldn't be a concern. If you have proper filters on your lids you'll be fine. Why would they survive at higher temps out of the fridge but not at lower temps in the fridge? If your worried pull out the fruit n veg bin clean it and pit them in there.

I'm still new to all of this so yeah the foil might be why it's delayed. I wasn't sure if the foil was to be left on or not, but I have silicon+polyfill lids, so it should be OK without foil I assume?
