Newb Rye Berry and Pasty Plate Inoculation
    #23790300 - 11/01/16 01:27 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

First of all, I sure do appreciate all the knowledge and entertainment this community has provided me as I lurked. Thanks!

TL;DR version - Look at these pics of stuff I did.

I'm in the process of my first attempt. I wanted to share where I'm at and where I hope to be with anyone interested (altruistically of course - definitely not hoping for tips and advice :grin:).

I prepared 14 Quart jar lids with 2 holes, rtv ship and tight poly-fil. I rinsed and soaked rye berries in 50/50 hot water/weak coffee. Simmered for 20 minutes. I strained and tossed the berries and then spread them thin on a newspaper covered table. Once the berries passed the toilet paper test the jars were loaded up, foiled and pressure canned at 15 psi for 90 minutes.

I set up a SAB in a small closet and tried to sterilize the best I could. A serious amount of Lysol and 70% Iso happened rofl. 7 jars were inoculated with a ms syringe of Corumba Brazil and 7 with a syringe of PE.

Finally, I followed Pastywhyte'sEasy Agar Tek to give it a try. Half got a drop of CB; half PE.

Working towards a monotub for each strain. Pasteurized c/v/g is the plan but open to additives (e.g., coffee and worm casings).

I'm very aware of how little I know about this stuff so feel free to light me up if I'm doing something stoopid.

Looks nice. Wetting your sab walls try using soapy water in a spray bottle instead of ISO.

When I do rhy its a 12-24 hour soak then heated up to ~200*F then strained with a fan on it.

I like doing one plate to one jar. So say you do ten grain jars from agar, the two healthiest can be expanded while the slower 80% get spawned to a tub

I'd recommend not using additives for your first one, it'll just be extra vectors to potentially screw it up, just coir verm and maybe gypsum will be great enough if your jars are healthy.

Looks good though, start sectoring that agar sooner than later onto new plates, because I would not trust spores to agar to be contam free for future agar to grain or making LI.

Thanks for the feedback y'all!

Soapy water makes sense, guessing it traps contams as opposed to killing them? I definitely could do with less fumes in small spaces set up to not have ventilation lol. When you heat the rye up do you go straight to high heat? I tried to bring them up to a simmer/boil gradually; I was hoping this would cut down on the berries that burst and get gross.

I mostly made the plates to practice the process; I'm surprised they've done this well. I've looked into sectoring and isolation enough to have a general understanding of the concept but the practical execution has me rather intimidated.

Filthyknees' idea on agar->grain transfers is pretty close to what I was thinking. 1 plate to 1 jar transfers. While those colonize I'd order some actual petri dishes (for ease of viewing). As soon as I had a fruit with desirable traits I would use some of its flesh on agar to clone it. Who knows, in the interim a laminar flow hood could fall off a truck in front of my apartment and really boost my confidence. Jk.

As for c/v/g, I agree with you, Huskies. Occam's Razor ftw. I'll keep it simple now and add variables as I gain experience.

Thanks again, I am super grateful for the help and direction!

You don't need to try to sanitize a SAB and you cannot sterilize one. It's about how they work and how you use it. Not how much lysol you spray. I only use a little 70% iso. On a paper towel to wipe tops of jars and a little for my hands/gloves

Don't feel intimated by doing agar transfers.

Get an all metal exacto knife, pressure cook it whenever you do more plates and pick a nice little sector from the best areas, away from any bacterial contamination that might show up and you are good to go!

Totally. Only being able to do one or two transfers per scalpel would be tedious.

Haha interesting. I mean I flame it between plates and everything, but I thought might as well bring a sterile instrument into the SAB. I wrap it in aluminum foil with jars or plates depending on what I do, and only open it up once my hands are in the SAB.

Heya,

I figured I'd post an update on the colonization.


I think these jars are ready to shake (Corumba Brazil if anyone was curious).



I transferred the agar plates I made to Rye jars. I didn't see any obvious contamination but regardless, I was just trying to get some practice.

Next time, I would try a method called Tiger Dropping.  It just involves cutting a hash like shape into your colonized agar, and dropping it into your jars as a load of separate pieces.  The more inoculation points you have, the faster the colonization will be for that jar obviously.

Your jars look great, they are definitely ready for a shake shake

It's been a week since I shook these jars. I think these 6 are ready to spawn, they've looked fully colonized for a few days.  I've started preparing my cvg following Frank's Proper Pasteurization Tek 3.0. I doubled it up, 2 buckets each getting 1 brick coir / 2 qts coarse verm / 5 qts water. I'm guessing I'll wind up with about 20 qts of cvg. I made so much because of the next part.



A friend drilled holes in a 66qt Sterilite tote and mistakenly drilled the 4 side holes 5.5 inches from the bottom. The plan was for a depth of the 3-4 inches. Should I add more cvg and make it 5 inches deep or would a depth of 4 inches still work? Pasteurizing all that substrate is gonna suck lol.




Any direction would be appreciated, these 6 are first children.

The 7th sibling is really nice but I suspect there may be some issues.

I had this sitting unopened so I pondered using it to pasteurize some jars. My pc can handle seven jars so I was thinking of trying the oven roaster at the same time. 6 spawn jars and 14 of the substrate for about 20 qts total. With the depth issue I'm not sure if 14 qts is enough so I might just do three runs of 7 in the pc following Frank's tek exactly. The oven roaster variable might not be worth adding.

How deep would you make the sub? Should the 7th jar get mixed in, spawned to it's own tub or trashed?

Thanks for the help, the time/contams advice is motivating me to be done with this before the weekend is out.
