Hi guys.  Nice thread ya got here, Myco.

Question. What is the best percentage/proof of alcohol to use for making the double extraction reishi tincture in your opinions?

50% or 100 proof is the minimum I shot for . If I go half alcohol and half water extract at the end I've got 25% alcohol double extract.

That said,to be economical gone to buying a fifth of ever clear and big jug of cheap 80 proof vodka. Mixing the two makes about 65% alcohol.

Thanks Quadman!!  Is anything too strong?  I mean, at what point is alcohol too strong to where it begins to break down medicinal properties.

Your just wasting money if alcohol is to high.i think 25% is about where the finished product needs to be. That amount insures it is preserved.

Got a light over these bad boys.  Looking great!  Unfortunately, I had to move the nebrodensis outside as I believe my fruiting chamber is too warm at 72F.  Hopefully they’ll do something.

Is that a plant grow light?  You could probably take all but one bulb out and save some electricity.

Hardly.  It’s an old office light drawing 89 watts.  BUT, I was planning on putting some stars under it...

morning guys have a quick question before I give it a try. I currently sterilize all of my hwfp bags in a 55 gallon electric sterilizer. Question I have is does anyone know if or has tried to sterilize wbs or rye berries in one? kinda sick of doing a bag or two of it in the pressure cooker for 2 hours. would love to load up a bunch of bags and let it go for 24 hours like I do my substrate. any thoughts on why this would or not work? thanks pic of the sterilizer

I have thought about trying it. Take one for the team and give it a go! I would make sure to put the bags at the bottom.

Thanks for the info, also good to know they get more taste with more FAE! :smile: Will make the ventilation more frequent.. what I have now is an air inlet fan fitted with a HEPA filter (not that high of a grade but still), I could also connect the exhaust I have, which has some polyfill filtering and a tube with two small fans in it - probably better overall airflow that way.

I just don't have the setting of the humidifier pat down to afford that sort of ventilation - if I crank it up there will be a lot of condensation when the air is saturated. Do you have yours on a timer also that is delayed compared to the ventilation but at same interval??

Also, quick question: is Ganoderma Sessile medicinally interesting / useful? I guess I don't have much need for it cause I have Mycolorado's reishi too..  but am curious..
Prepping the reishi on agar, it's coming after P nebrodensis. :laugh:  But first I am expecting pioppino to start fruiting and AA+ also.

Don't really know how to get the Pioppino to pin, it's already close to the FAE inlet (one tray especially), though I should probably upgrade my lighting to something that penetrates better (like cfl from the back).

Just an update.. I currently have four 5 pound bags and 3 2 pound bags in the 55 gallon steam sterilizer doing a 24 hour run right now. going to inoculate them Thursday morning with some pink and yellow wbs spawn hoping they are good to go.
