How much is lost during sterilization?
    #22378972 - 10/14/15 02:44 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I made some jars in advance to pressure cook twice as it's rye flour so i'd rather be safe than sorry.

Is moisture content lost during pcing?
The room smelt like rye flour after, is it possible pressure cooking twice will remove some of the nutrients?

or should I just take it all out and try get it close to field capacity again?

Dont cook it twice just extend your pc time. How long do you cook? At what pressure? Pf tek?

rye flour? never heard of using that.

You definitely will lose water from PC'ing twice, and I think nutrients too. not recommended.

If you PC correctly the first time there's really no need. Unless there's something about rye flour I'm not familiar with

Endospores?? I don't think rye ground up removes them so.

we get by pressure cooking rye grain once for 60-90 minutes. There is nothing I've heard of that you need to PC twice :shrug:

I PC'd twice early on too. Do it, find out what happens. Maybe it'll work out for you, who knows. I just don't think it will.

Hmm
So take it all out and add a tad of water and nutrients?

Why would want to PC twice? If you're having problems with sterilization it'd be far more effective to simply extend the PC time since the majority of the time it's in there is actually spent raising it to sterilization temperature.

Weighing jars allows you to monitor moisture levels. I find a 5-10 ml/grams are lost during a cycle in jars with about 200g dry grain.

They don't need to be inoculated immediately or anything. If you're just talking about a week delay or something I wouldn't worry about it.

Last question
If they're slightly dry inside is it okay to shoot some water(distilled) inside the jars when they are colonizing if they're too dry?>

I opened up one of them just to check how they are for knowledge or whatever and the mix only felt damp.

If you followed the tek, don't deviate now... you don't want a wet substrate...you want it moist, and with pf tek your better off slightly on the dry side

Wouldn't they stall out if they run out of water?

They definitely are not out of water if you followed the teks recipe.

I opened a pf tek jar I had in my fridge since April and never inoculated, the moisture was still acceptable for use...so I'm gonna go ahead and say that it takes quite a long time for a brf cake to dry out to the point where it cannot support mycelium.

Okay. I was just asking generally if they would stall if dry but I guess you did answer it.
Just like anybody I hate wasting time haha.
