The sprayer is good for spraying spore water/ on woodchip beds as well.

I seriously need to make a bigger screen strainer for my grains. I'm about to be replacing my patio screen door, I think I'll take the screen off the old one and build something the size of my sink. It's not stainless steel, but it should work fine if it has enough support to keep from ripping. SS strainers are too expensive.



I use a 5 gal. Bucket with holes drilled in the bottom works pretty good.
Use it inside of a unmodified bucket and it works great for the rinse soak and strain.
I'll never go back to using a strainer.




I would at least have to line it for WBS

Try er out bro they take some time to make but once you do make one you won't regret it. I've been using the this method for over 5 years now never used a liner. Only thing that makes it thru the holes is the rock that's in bird seed. I wanna say hole size is around 1/64" bit but I don't remember for sure.

Okay, I'm sold! I'll make one tonight. I think I have a 1/64 titanium bit at home somewhere

I would consider free pouring the LC, but a lot of excess moisture gets introduced that way.



If you have a bit of narrow tubing connected to your LC jar you can pour in a controlled manner with a fairly predictable flow rate. You would ideally have 2 tubes in the jar, so it is not glugging trying to get air in/out of the same outlet (like pouring a large bottle of coke quickly will glug), i.e. a tube in near one edge and another on the opposite side of the jar lid. You can practice outside of a SAB with just water to determine the flow rate by timing it, and to see if it is consistent -I find it is consistent enough (doing stuff non mycology related). I would have a timer on my phone showing a stop watch, you can just start it any old time and then look at it and time it yourself, e.g. start pouring when the timer is at 2min and stop and 2min 15sec knowing you should get the desired amount in those 15sec. You can always check what went in by weighing before and after. The tubes can be plugged with suitable plugs (pulled out at pouring time) and covered with foil, if the jar is filtered you may only need a "pouring tube" -obviously the more narrow it is the slower the flow rate and so it can be easier to be more exact it how much liquid is added.

You could always have a weighing scales in a SAB, possibly in a plastic bag to protect it, and use this to determine how much liquid you have added.

I am only ever doing small grows, if I had a large amount of jars to do I would have a long silicone tube attached to a large LC jar so I could do remote pouring. The LC jar could be several litres, with a take off tube attached to the bottom of the jar, either drilling through glass or easier drilling through plastic. This jar can be left outside of the SAB and the tube brought inside. The tube and its plug would be sterilised in the PC and covered in foil and uncovered inside the SAB. You can get plastic pinches for the tube or use a clothes peg or paper clip to pinch the tube, these do not have to be put in the PC so do not have to be stainless or a plastic which can withstand heat.


After pouring any excess could be poured off into an empty jar in the SAB.

If the outlet of the tube is raised above the level of water of the jar outside the SAB no water will flow, and could be replugged if needed, or have some sort of stand/clip in the SAB to rest it at the desired height. Once dropped below level of LC in the jar outside it will flow, the remote LC jar would need a filter on it to allow new air in to stop vacuum effects (liquid will flow faster the lower it is from the external water/liquid level). By having the takeoff at the bottom you do not have to shake the jar and it will be taking off thick myc settled at the bottom, and if the tube is wide enough it will not clog. The outlet can be cut in such a way to minimise drips, the pouring spout shape could be cut into the silicone tube or have an additional metal tube attached. You can experiment outside beforehand pouring just water. There are excellent "pouring kettles" out there for tea/coffee which have spouts which do not drip and are easy enough to copy.


The remote tube would mean less air disturbance inside the SAB too.

If I had a huge amount of jars to do I would consider a dedicated LC container with its own internal submersed element. I have talked of this before for bulk LC intended for harvesting. Most accept that water can do with a simple boiling, though I have found steaming/boiling to be sufficient for my LCs & agar -if using commercial malt extract. I would want to PC stuff with added grains etc. Most seem to accept that simply boiling water is all that is needed for water though. If worried you can always PC a jar with a very concentrated LC mixture of nutrients, so now this is sterile -this can then be added to a large container of boiling water and boiled up again by the internal element, so it should be OK, seeing as the nutrients have been subjected to a proper PC cycle.

I often microwave concentrated LC before I dilute it. The high sugar content means it will boil at a slightly higher temp than water and so should be equivalent to being in a PC at low pressure. This could be done in a pot too, or just PC a nutrient broth directly in a PC with no jar, you should not even really have to worry about venting.

If people are not into DIY you can buy homebrew plastic containers with submerible elements, which often have ports already in place, intended for airlocks, which could have filters attached.

PC'd concentrated LC could be added to these with water and reboiled up to resterilise. They are typically 25L+ tubs. This might seem like overkill but the thick unstirred LC might only make up 3L at the bottom. Many are not transparent, you can cut a hole in the lid and silicone on a clear piece of PP plastic or a bit of an autoclave bag -so you can keep an eye on things.

Yeah, harbor freight. It worked good, just go easy and let it do its thing. Hole saws are so expensive, I liked that it's adjustable.

Looks good bro did you test it with some water to see if it flows out quick enough if not you will need either more holes or bigger I forgot to tell you that and being that I don't remember what size hole I used for sure I wish I would have told you before you made it.

Yeah, it flows well until there isn't much left, then I really trickles. I was planning on going up a size and just adding more.

Cool when there is a lil water left in the bottom I just tilt it at a angle and let it finish draining that usually takes care of the left over excess moisture then steam does its thing and the grains will be ready to oc. If you don't boil grains first then you just load into jars with the little bit of more moisture that's left over and grains will absorb the excess.

Went looking for an easier way to make holes in pasty plates. Found this leather hole punch that works amazing. Like $8 at lowes:


Action shot:


Ranges from 2-4.5 mm in .5mm increments. It also fits over the lid so you could make holes in the lid if you wanted to do it that way. But it's definitely gonna make making plates a breeze.

It's a breeze already if you just take a small flat head screwdriver, flame it red hot and poke a little slit through the plastic :shrug: I doubt anything could be faster than that, by the time you have to flame again you could've perfectly done more than 20 plates.
