PCing twice
    #22480723 - 11/05/15 11:25 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

I'm worried about the water level in my WBS jars. So I was wondering if if I could maybe open them up, drain them properly, and PC again. Does it seem overkill to do so? A lil water pooling worked out fine for me in PF Tek so can I get away with it using WBS?

Drying them properly the first time would avoid this.

I've ran a few test jars from time to time after getting random nasties, mostly yeast, I would re inoculate after PCing the jars and had like a 80% success of them colonizing and being used as spawn. I made sure to use clean cultures as well, this might be a key factor. Might have a harder time with spores.

If you're limited on spores, just restart another batch to be sure. If you got enough to go around, I would just try to PC them again, worst that can happen is some bad jars that could have happened anyways with bad moisture content.

How long did you PC them the first time?  I've PC'd jars twice as a means of killing off heavy endospore loads with no ill effect.  As long as it totals to no more than like 3-4 hours they shouldn't get too mushy.

about an hour and 30, gonna go ahead and dry em right now. I'm thinking put them on a big container and blow drying them, think I'll know right away if that's a bad idea lol

Well, if you've done 90 minutes so far, go ahead and do another hour.

I would do that instead of the hair dryer if you have hand protection.
