LI Vessel (updated with results)
    #23472958 - 07/24/16 05:36 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I am interested in a little DIY eberbach, I have made one before like the tribal container but I couldnt find the right pp5 container at the time and it sucked. I am interested in a basic one with just a regular mouth jar and an oster blade connected with the jar ring, however I have poured different things out of jars before and it sucks, so I really like the idea of the Ball sippy cup lids for pouring it, I assume I would just PC the jar, water and blade attached together and the sippy cup lid separate and wrapped in foil, and attach that after blending?
Is anyone around here familiar with doing it this way? Or have a better technique?



UPDATE, here are the results after your help guys, thanks Munch:cool:

Here you guys go, spawn bags 7 days after using the blender and a jar,





I also made master jars properly from wedges the day before as well in case this failed, here is one at day 8



The spawn bags are 7-8 lb.'s.
What I enjoyed about the LI was being able to get a foot on some quick spawn bags while getting traditional masters together at the same time.

I had also took LI to quart jars when I made these bags and they were done and spawned yesterday, 6 days in total for the jars. Gotta say I am now a fan:cool:
Thanks for the help you guys!

i was actually considering doing something similar for Munch's blenderless LI. was going to either make or find a lid with a spout, like your talking about, and PC it on an empty jar, with foil over it, and after i made the blenderless LI, just switch the lid from the empty jar to the LI jar(all in SAB, of course), and then take the foil off and pour. if any LI is left over, I would just switch the previous lid back on for storage.

been trying to find a lid with a spout for a while, in local stores.

Ace hardware has the ball sippy cup lids I know for sure, I wish there was a ring you could get for your jars like the pyrex media bottles have, that would make pouring LI out of a glass jar easy.

Any reason you don't wana just suck up the LI into sterilized syringes?
Just PC a bit of water with the Mudablender lid on it, PC it along w/ foil wrapped syringes, let it cool, bring it to SAB.
Bring colonized petri to SAB, cut wedge/agar needed to blend into LI. open jar lid w/o completely uncovering sterile water, drop mycelium into water.
Blend that bad boy up and bring back to SAB. Fill syringes with LI.

Oh man, I fucking hate syringes! I have a flowhood anyways, but even when I used an SAB I had left those things behind. I usually just go wedge to masters but I lost some spawn and need to get some masters made quickly.
I will look into the mudablender lid though, thanks.

Ok, I checked out that tek, so he makes a lid with blender blade. The blender blade I have fits right onto a regular mouth jar perfectly, is there a specific reason people don't just connect the blender blade with a jar ring?

Haha well idk what to say man, i love em, pretty much all i use is LI in syringes, they just store conveniently and are good for a long time in the fridge in a sanitary bag.

Rooster,

If you can find a vintage osterizer beehive blender on ebay (easy to find):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Oster-Beehive-Blender-Made-in-USA-/201624544087?hash=item2ef1c26357:g:ouUAAOSwX~dWlxkK

It has an all metal assembly that is autoclavable.  This will screw onto a narrow mouth quart mason jar.  You have to glue the blade assembly to the base with some sort of heat resistant silicone adhesive that will withstand the autoclaving, or somehow address how you will seal it.  I used this for a long time before moving up to an eberbach, and produced lots of spawn using LI to jars.  Honestly, the eberbach is just a modest improvement over this set up.

And the reason for this is because when you want to open the jar to add culture then the blade will want to fall out unless it is glued into the screw on base. 

(When I wrote this a few minutes ago, I started wondering why I was saying this.  It took me a moment to remember the reason.)

Just one very minor reason: to make the blade and band one single piece that lifts out as one. However, I just use a jar ring. I used a modified lid in the past and went back to just a band. its easy and more reliable. plus no risk of cutting yourself up making that modified lid.

I have no need to store LI, I have my cultures stored in slants, my preferred method is starting fresh from slants after I have expanded 4-5 generations, but like I was saying I just lost a bunch of spawn due to heat and needed to get the upper hand this run, also I just use SFD fitlers on my lids so they need to be lifted to inoculate, which I find in the end a lot easier than injecting jars with syringes.

why not just do Blenderless Li? super easy, works great, no need to mod any lids, and did i mention super easy? :grin:

I have done it before, I did it with broken glass in a jar, It didn't really leap off as aggressive as I hoped, I liked it though, but I have seen great results with super whipped up plates from ebarbachs and I'm trying to catch back up to a bunch of spawn I lost. I usually talk shit about trying to get things done super fast, but I am definitely eating crow now.

Hey Munch, Im about to make a batch of this and was wondering if you even use the rubber gasket? Or just the blade assembly and jar ring, seems the easiest route as long as that metal seals against the glass.

There should be a rubber gasket with the blender base. I leave that on.

I just got a new Oster today and the rubber ring was just loose, I used it anyways, it formed a way better seal than the metal on glass. Anyways thanks for the tips dude, the PC is cooling down and I should be working here in a few hours, by the way Munch, I have a shit ton of dishes that are just gonna get tossed if I dont use them now, is it too much to use 2 plates in about 600 ml of water for about 20 jars? It seems like a good idea, but also that much agar in the grains? Do you guys find that an issue?

The amount of agar should not be an issue, though one plate will be adequate for 20 jars, however I would use only 10ml of LI per quart jar.  Too much water in the spawn is not good.

you can use 50ml of LI no problem, if you really wanted to. I've probably dumped 100 or so in a few jars before. Never seen it cause any problems. The jars explode with growth, actually. 100% in like 4-5 days.

Really?  Considering that, 20ml would be better, eh?

Frankly, I never experimented with using more LI than 10ml per jar.  I'd get full colonization in 7 - 9 days at ~75F.  I've always been cagey about adding liquid to grain because in the past one of my  problems in making spawn was that the bottom-most bags in the cooker would siphon up water and be ruined by being too wet.  I extrapolated that adding moisture to the grains should be kept to a minimum, and that is what I have always done with LI or LC, but perhaps I am too stingy after all!
