dry weight?
    #23667482 - 09/22/16 09:16 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys, just had a quick question in relation to drying out some liberty caps i found 48 hours ago, I have had them laid out on the kitchen table last night with the heating on for a couple of hours (we have no thermostat so i think its always on full blast)it gets to be quite hot

i have had them sitting in a sunny windowsill now for the past few hours today and they seem very dry, they were short grass libs and so seem to have dried out very easily, most of them make some sort of crack when i put pressure on the caps.

First of all I was wondering is it good to now consider these to be cracker dry?

and more importantly, if they are nearly dry but not totally cracker dry will it effect the weight for dosing? ie would a gram dry now be the same as a cracker dry gram potency wise or will the tiny bit of remaining water(if any) effect what my scales reads, its not so much a question of preserving them,ive dried them about this much before and they lasted me a good while

IMHO many dosage problems with mushrooms relate to how much moisture they have in them. For accurate dry mushroom dosage, they need to be cracker dry which simply means that they need to cleanly break wherever they are snapped...little to zero bending.

As soon as they absorb humidity, they bend more than break and the dosage will reflect the added weight from the absorbed moisture.

Cracker dry means crumbly when you mash them....it sounds like yours could be there because libs have very thin stems and dry easily.:mushroom2:

ah cool, i have one batch and they are really quite brittle and the stems break off very easily the other wasnt in so warm a room and some whilst they were very crackery too some of them seemed to tear instead of crack,
