Jars inject water?
    #26372349 - 12/10/19 04:45 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

This is probably one of my stupid posts that will annoy everyone.
I stuck my jars in the PC and left them there overnight no I’m worried that they might not be damp enough if that is the case should I inject some distilled water into the jars where the spores were injected?

Don't understand what the problem is. Are these normal jars with lids acc/to some TEK (filter lids for grain or lids with small holes for BRF+dry verm layer)? If so, there is very little moisture escaping after you tighten the lids and PC them: you can noc a week after even (though not recommended due to increased contam risk). Pouring anything u didn't just sterilize seems like a bad idea, unless you're 100% certain it's sterile.

They are jars with foil and tape, with verm rice gypsum rice flour water mix; that are PCed.

What if I was to fill, a glass syringe with water and PC it, then use it to add water to the jar.

Dont inject water in them. Leave them alone until they are inoculated, and then leave them alone some more.

Wet is almost always more dangerous than dry, if there's even 1/5th of a jar's size worth of water in your jars, it is enough to support full colonize.

When I came into this hobby I kept thinking "oh I have to get all the water the recipe says I need" and "Hmm this looks a little dry *pours a whole glass of water over*

instead I should have chilled if I thought I had a little less water.

Too wet substrates will cause way more problems than subs a lil too try at the stage of growing you are in now.

if you squirt more water you will mess up the ratio.

If you followed correct prep


They should look kinda dry (on the outside that is) after pc

Also see below

Whether you boil for 15 or 30 minutes, you're still removing a bunch of grain from a pot of water and the outside still needs to be dried. How would boiling for a shorter time do anything to change that? You'd wind up with less plump grains because they'd hydrated less water, not dryer grains coming out of the pot.

I don't think the drying process is aimed at removing moisture within the grain, but the excess outside, which is what we're talking about. A fully hydrated oat and 50% hydrated oat that both pass the TP test are the same level of dry. The 100% hydrated oat is optimal and won't suddenly hemorrhage water later on inside the bag.
