I just wipe the inside of SAB with a cloth that I spray 70% ISO on and that's it.

When I go to work I put on a tight fitting long sleeve polyester shirt, idk what it's called but it's winter stuff you put on underneath clothes to keep you warm. Or I put on a rash guard sometimes (grappling and sports shirt also 100% polyester, tight fitting long sleeve) this way I never worry about skin flakes on my arms, hair and stuff like that. I just wash my hands and put on gloves.

I only wiped my sab out when it got kinda dirty :lol:

I stopped using long sleeves I feel more confident in short sleeves.

I don't even use gloves anymore lol let alone wear a long sleeved shirt, and I haven't had any problems. Sure every now and then I get a couple satellites on my plates but it happens about as often as it did with gloves on.

I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially someone who is just gettin into it, but if you know how to work aseptically you can get away with it.

I wipe my sab out with iso every time cause my cats like to get in it when I'm not using it. By the time I get everything else ready the alcohol has mostly evaporated. Not once have I caught something on fire working in my sab.

I have, however, come really close to lighting a pan of naphtha on fire during an evap. Almost used my lighter to get a better look at the crystals, it definitely would've lit things up :lol:

Only thing that's happened to me was I lit my hand on fire.

I've almost done that with butane before :lol:

Broke up the grain on my jars last night and rolled them around rather than shake.  Since I added the agar I hadn’t shaken.  MC’s are still doing well.  New growth on all sides of the jar this morning.

Soak rye grain for 12-24 hours or skip it? I've heard soaking it lets bacteria plant endospores and I've heard activating mold spores makes them easier to be killed off.

I pressure sterilize for a full hour and then wait for 20-30 min to let it cool down before opening the PC so I doubt anything in the jar is alive at the end of it.

So what do you do in the end?  :whiteflag:

I've found that soaking my wheat for at least 12 hours will plump them up some and after a short boil I have less burst grain than going from dry grain straight to a boil.

I guess the soak makes the grain skin more "stretchy" I guess:shrug:

I personally do a minimum of 1.5 hours on my PC cycle. Most of the time 2 hours. No other reason than that's what I've read on here.

I pull the jars from the PC as soon as the pressure is off it and give my jars a shake while they are still hot. I think it helps redistribute the moisture in the grains

I dont get burst grain from going straight to boil... Maybe youre loading too wet. A shake while still hot does wonders for wheat

I've been working on tightening up my grain prep procedure lately. Namely making sure the wheat is bone dry on the outside before I spoon it into the jars. Doing more of a gentle simmer than just boiling the shit out of it.

Even so the jars come out if the PC soaking wet. Grains stuck up on the glass and an actual layer of water on the bottom of the jar. Idk if it's normal for wheat or my grain prep.

After a good shake and they cool down the moisture content looks spot on. It seems the grain reabsorbes the water. I'll get a pic the next time I make a batch of jars.

Thats odd.. I have the same experience aside from when i dry them completely on the outside they end up stalling because they are too dry...

I heard that you only have to PS for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45, 60, 75 and 90.

I guess Everyone adds 15 minutes to the version they heard just to be safe and naturally if you hear two you do the longer one so naturally we get to 90 minutes at which point people I guess are like there's no way in hell that leaves anything unnuked :grin:

And still why not do 2 hours for the hell of it.

Not like it does any damage.

Ok. Not the best pic. I'm pretty sure I did this as a comparison. These had just come out of the PC and the one on the left was given a shake and the one on the right had not. See all the wet grain stuck up on the glass?
