Today, first spawning to bulk
    #26490181 - 02/17/20 02:46 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

I just finished spawning five quart jars to a sub I mixed and prepped this morning.
I followed Frank's CVG tek and decided to go ahead and pasteurize it even though he and apparently a lot of others don't anymore.  (I figure the practice can't hurt.  And I was like a driver tried to steer myself out of a skid to keep the thermometer in the right range but I did OK in the end.  Next time I'll do much better.)
First thing, once the sub was cooled and ready, I set up my SAB and dropped a couple of colonized grains from one of my WBS jars into two agar dishes.
Then the fun began- I didn't anticipate how big a mess you could make.  I did a 2:1 ratio of sub to spawn.  When I opened the jars I was worried about what I was going to smell.  To my surprise the stuff really does smell unmistakably like fresh mushrooms.  I went with the aluminum foil cover with holes, covered with MP tape.  Up into the top of the closet, and hang tight.

My question today:  When I was emptying the jars the stuff was much more "formed" in there than I'd thought.  I had overfilled the jars a little but it was difficult to shake them loose.  I had to do a lot of poking and digging to break it up and get it out.  It wasn't really sticky or difficult to break apart- it came apart pretty easily when I poked it- it's just that there was so little room to do it by shaking. Is that normal?  If not how can I avoid it next time?  I'm wondering if possibly my seed was too wet when I started (although it really didn't seem so).
