Oster Blender Parts - Liquid Inoculant
    #22574181 - 11/25/15 04:48 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

I'm about to make some LI, but I don't really have the time or tools to make a blender lid with silicone, has anyone had experience with using the silicone washer included in oster blenders?

Also, if it works, would I be able to PC it with some PF jars, or is 45min too long?

not sure what you are talking about regarding PCing....I make my LCs in 250ml jars with self healing injection ports.

Yes it works.  The downside is that if the oster ring doesn't stick to the blade, there's no good way to get it off the jar without touching things more than you want to.  I just did it today, and decided I'm siliconing that shit together for sure.

Just leave the jar ring loose and PC it and pressure will equilize.  I recommend PC'ing a second jar or piece of a foil with a 1-piece lid to replace the blender blade, as taking it on and off with the ring falling all over is a disaster waiting to happen.

I recommend a lid with a polyfill port near the edge if it's agar LI, sterilized to replace the blade.  Then you can tilt the jar and aspirate without dirtying up the LI.


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.

yes. you can simply bleach or iso wipe the black plastic base that screws on to the blender blade.  just do all of this in your clean work area. don't pressure cook the black base. but it works perfectly the way it is. the harder part is pouring. the gasket can come loose while pouring. i use my fore finger to tilt the lid at an angle while the other side of the lid remains flush with the glass. this allows a pour type spout on one side of the glass. and you can easily let your finger down and the lid closes after each pour. its the same thing as a fancy pour lid that you have to remove a ship(self healing injection port). to me, using the glass/blade/gasket isn't that tough because iVE always used it as is for years. its more convenient with a nice lid though. and making a tribal container makes it even easier to pour consistent pours in each receiving jar.

sequence below shows an example.


sometimes this can happen. if you sit the gasket flush with the glass it will work just great.
when you loosen the lid to drop in an agar plate or a pf cake, you would lightly break the seal by lifting one edge of the lid. this allows you to easily open the lid and make the drop, then close it. don't fully remove the lid until you make the drop(transfer) into the blender jar. you want to keep the water and blender jar closed to open air until it is necessary. making that exchange very minimal time wise.

I dont understand though how does it work if you dont PC the base then? What holds the blender attachment to your jar?

It's the same as switching a non-sterile jar ring onto a jar.  Doesn't do jack, though it might dirty up the threads a bit.

I transfered the cornmeal LI I made to another sterile jar with the switch lid to avoid any dirty thread related problems.

it twists right on to the blade assembly and makes a seal. it works better than my make shift lids actually. with less leaks while blending.

i love this little lid that carcase-x showed me. you can attach a magnet in your glove and on the edge of the ship for an easy transfer. its real simple.



downside is you have to do two swaps. one to transfer the plate/cake and 2 to switch the lids. but its super easy. i pressure cook the lid wrapped in foil with a top and bottom piece of foil. when its unwrapped the bottom foil is left so you don't have to expose the bottom of the lid until its almost right on the glass jar after the transfer. pulling the foil away as your putting it on the glass jar. there might be a 1/2" gap between the distance when you do it.

Oh so you would hold the blade assembly down with a jar ring, sterilize and then switch it out for the blender base?

Yea.. kinda wish I didnt melt mine trying to see if it would hold up thru a PC cycle too :facepalm:

I like the idea though it would work nicely in front of my hood. I might just cough up the 25 bux for anothet one.
I cant seem to keep my silicone lid from leaking.I haven't even used it yet dont trust it enough. But I have a ton of isolates I wanna test in bottles so Im gunna have to get it figured out soon :lol:

Sweet, So the silicon ring provided with the blender will survive the PC cycle?
Or would I have to PC the water with a separate lid, then attach the blade?

As for pouring,

I was considering screwing a sterilized plastic lid on the LI jar after blending, that way I can pour easily.
I would go for the polyfill lid but I don't have any empty sterile syringes on hand.

My original plan was to make several different LI jars with different isolations in one go, but I realized it would probably mix them up.

yes. no you put the gasket, the blade base, the 1/2 pint band ring. throw some foil over it and pressure cook 20 minutes at 15psi

yes you can do the lid thing. or you can build something like i posted above. there is also this badass mama jama right here.

Mycelium Water, A Tribal Container

2nd to none. makes things a one step process. it has the blender, the pour spout and the lid to cover between each pour. it reduces my pour time by about 20 minutes per session.

you can go to walmart and get the oster blender repair kit, which comes with a black base, gasket, blade assembly for 10$. just check local store inventory before you go. when i went, i found them hiding and they had at least 10 of them in stock. always test the silicone lids before blending anything. the cleaner bead of silicone you have the less leaks. i was having trouble with my tribal container for a while because of my half ass silicone skills. ive since adjusted my technique and it made the difference.

Ill have to look out for one of those.

Yea, I think what I ended up doing was drilling a hole through  a plastic mason jar lid and siliconing the blender piece to it, Ill post a pic. It doesnt seem to leak but can I trust it?:lol:

ive got something like that. as you can see my silicone skills fucking blow. it gets the job done and ive not had any jar contamination using LI. :facepalm:



that 2nd picture and the blender on the right had some issues. it leaked from the center where the blade rotor attaches to the metal base. i had to silicone that in. now it doesn't leak. but it took a few trials to figure out where that leak was coming from. when i would let the pc cool. the jar would be empty by morning. so it was hard to see the leak. sneaky bastid.

Here's my take, it seems to work nicely with only one transfer of agar or other culture to blender, in the image the lid doesn't have the SHIP yet but you can see the double tyvec filter which helps when drawing the liquid into the syringe.
