Those bags are looking beautiful Marty! Nice dense growth of the antlers too, when I did a minimono of them the pinset wasn't anywhere near as dense.

Does anyone have a suggestion on making Reishi tea, how to prepare, how much to use and how long to boil?




I generally bring the tea to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 2 hours.

I've tried using chunks and blending, and if you can blend the reishi it turns into part powder, part stringy fibers, and the resulting tea is much more bitter. Which I think is better.

The dose I've read quoted the most is 5 grams a day, so I shoot to have 5 grams in cup of tea.

I'm about to make a batch right now using some blended reishi in jars in a pressure canner to see it that makes a better tea. I think it might make measuring the dose easier because water won't be boiling off. None of my non PC pots have very good lids so I lose a lot of water when boiling the tea. If the jars in the canner method works I'll make a post about it later tonight.

Awesome dude, thanks for the tips on that and post that if it turns out well:thumbup:
I'm going to make some tea tonight, I'm also reading about reihi coffee right now, I'm a big coffee drinker so getting a dose of reishi with my coffee sounds awesome.

The flavor definitely goes well with coffee! I like to pour some tea into a french press with the grounds then fill the rest with water.

That's interesting.. Do you chew on a gram piece a day or do you do more? How quick does it take before you feel it?

Im sure I do dream just don't recall them .Last night I jumped out of bed over some dream that was pretty real.

If alcohol works, stick it in whisky or ground into beer. Have a nice trip!

I wouldn't just simmer for 4 hours, overnight is best. Here is what i do. 1/2 lb reishi (or whatever mushroom) per 1/2 gal mason jar. fill with 40% good (but not too good) vodka until its slightly under liquid, you want like watery oatmeal, you might need to add more a day or two later if it soaks it all up. After 2 weeks Strain and squeeze, i use little 6x8 muslin cloth bags to squeeze out the vodka. Put the solids into a crock pot and measure out how much vodka you got out, say its 1 quart. So take 1 qt clean water and put that in the crock with the solids and mix, take a stick/straw and see what the water level is and mark the stick. This is your end target volume for 1:1 dilution for 20% alcohol. Add another quart or so and turn the crock on low with the lid off. Stir every few hours. About a day later it should be close to your target volume, if not let it go a bit longer. Once done let it cool, strain, squeeze, blend and bottle, 30 or 60cc syringes are great for bottling large quantities of 1 or 2oz bottles, respectively. Label em and if you want to be even more pro get some perforated shrink bands on em.

the bags i use, bigger would be better but i use these for hop additions in my kegs and they are the perfect size to fit through the lid.

Dude:thumbup:
Thanks man, that was super comprehensive, just what I needed.
Hey Gr0wer, have you had any luck with getting rid of whole reishi at the farmers market, or anywhere else?

Hey guys, happy holidays:santaclaus: Hope everyone is having a great one!
I have been pretty busy getting things in order for the holidays, and even playing a little music, I even got to play fiddle with a couple guys on the radio a few days ago for a Christmas show:crymeariver: Also sneaking in a little time to get spawn ready for a Shiitaki and Lions Mane grow.
Just made a batch of reishi tea, and I got to say it makes you feel good:thumbup:


So everything is going great, although my shop been getting pretty chilly at times and think the growth has slowed a little bit, but other than that it's all going smoothly, I still need to get some more lighting up over one of the tables.

     
 

Some bags are conking, I dont know why:shrug:



Anyways, that's my update. Lovin' the Reishi and the invitro growing, thanks again to Gr0wer for the technique and MyColorado for the culture. And all of you guys out there, happy holidays:cheers:

Conking is directly relative to fresh air lowering CO2 levels. Some of your bags for one reason or another are receiving better circulation than others. Ganoderma typically doesn't get enough fresh air in bags without opening them to conk. You probably have a species like G.sessile or something else in the resinaceum clade that typically grows without a stem in the wild. They are less sensitive to the CO2 levels and start conking as soon as the fruits begin to form.
