If you wear a watch when doing sterile work...Take it off. That shit is a contamination vector...

Don't open a dirty plate in front of a flow hood.  If you got to clean a contaminated plate use a sab.

If you have bubbles on top of your agar after poring a quick pass with a propane torch makes them pop. Agar like glass.

When soaking grain, use cold water (especially if you soak for 24h+) and don't leave it hydrating in a warm place. Talking from personal experience, it started fermenting (probably yeast) and smelled like vomit...:mad:

Cut a hole in the lid of your sab and glue in a magnifying glass, helps get a good close up of the plate surface to spot contams and be more precise during transfers


Drill a flame port into the lower side of the sab, leave the torch outside the hole and simply stick the scalpel/syringe through the hole into the flame. Helps keep air currents way down because you're not taking your hands in and out of the sab between transfers

I don't know what happen man... but the grain was bubbling and smelled like vomit. Anyway I cleaned the PC, sterilized it and am soaking second batch right now... hmmm, maybe the boiling water actually makes sense, it could kill some of the assholes on the surface

its near boiling from the tap. i turned the hot water up on my waterheater. be careful doing that. you can scald yourself easily.

and it losses its temp quickly. its not like im bucket tekking wbs... although...:rolleyes:

its going to be slightly bubbly/fermented. leave some grains stuck to the pot and the sprout in a few days :p dont dump them in the drain.

foomans never worked well for me. stalled jars... might have been a noob with the water content though. i should give it another shot.

Cult tip! dont get too set in your ways. try a tek again if you failed before. ive come along way since i last did foomans.:thumbup:

Fooman's WBS prep helped me be so much more efficient. I hope you can get it going this time around!

im fine doing 24hr soak no simmer but reviewing foomans tek i basically already do his tek
just not with a 'rolling boil'

maybe i could bucket tek the birdseed to really keep the heat up and get 100% water content quicker..
ill play around with it. just as long as its hydrated and doesnt clump, im good.

Do NOT rely on cooking times with grain prep. it doesnt matter if it takes someone a 30 min soak or 40 min soak, the volume of grain and water is not constant, each stove is different and their are many other factors that have small influence

rely on manually checking your grains to ensure theyre at proper hydration. this avoids under cooking them and over cooking them. thanks Tmethyl!

The bonds and ties of the life we know break easily. But through eternity one bond remains; the bond of fellowship.
The fellowship of atoms,
of star dust in its endless flight, of suns and worlds,  of gods and men.
The clasped hands of comradeship unite in a bond eternal; the fellowship of spirit.
