Slight alcohol smell from pasteurized sub
    #25957216 - 04/26/19 03:55 PM (5 years, 8 months ago)

I've tried finding definitive info on this, nothing has made me confident that I can use this. I've read it's yeast fermenting, although nothing has made me decide I can't try it either.

I made this substrate about a week and a half ago, but the colonizing jars I had made it for slowed way down since the vermiculite I used in the brf ones was really chopped up too small. So I was only able to make one shoebox out of the almost 5 gallons of sub and had to put the rest on standby...well, come about 10 days later, I have a fully colonized and consolidated quart of pan bisporus on rye and a half pint of galindoi in brf, as well as a fair bit of cube brf cakes ready for moving forward. I previously had made up the shoebox of cubes in as sterile of environment as possible (didn't just open the pasteurize substrate bucket in a dirty room, I made sure it was done in as sterile an environment as possible just to help it as much as I could last until I was ready to use the rest).

I do not know if there is any serious bacteria and there's no noticeable mold at all, just a bit more than slight alcohol smell coming from it so I jarred it up and I'm already sterilizing it at 15 psi for an hour...should I do it longer than 1 hour, if sterilizing will work at all?

Curious if I should just toss it, if it is contaminated and dangerous to use regardless if it's sterilized or re-pasteurized, due to toxins that doing so won't safely deal with... And if I should've just went for re-pasteurizing all of it. I wasn't able to fit all the jars of sub in my PC so I have the rest and my fridge and the jars waiting for me to finish doing this sterilization (or, if it's better, re-pasteurization) tonight after work.

Any help on this matter will be extremely helpful, I couldn't find any definitive info to tell me one way or another, with this particular problem... But I put a lot of work into this substrate and the shoebox of cubes is really digging it, so it seems. I really don't want to waste all this substrate, but I certainly will if consensus says it's safer to...you gotta do what you gotta do....I just hope I can save it and safely get mushrooms out of it.

Thanks 😊
