Significant difference in isopropyl alcohol?
    #26535162 - 03/14/20 04:30 PM (4 years, 3 months ago)

With this Coronavirus thing I was only able to get 91% instead of 70%. Is there any change or significant difference with using the 91%?

Is it a necessity that I have to? Is there anything the 90% one will affect and can’t do that the 70% one does?

Hmm news to me. I've only ever used 91% and haven't seen a contaminated
jar or tub in years. Only ever see contams if I'm using a ms syringe on
some agar to start some new genetics.

open a plate in open air, when you see green on the plate squirt a syringe full of iso at any percent on it and suck it up, then squirt it in a grain jar and see for yourself just how magic it actually isnt

My thoughts exactly. I remember a famous Rabbit here that I believe
once said "As long as your jars are sterile, your mycelium is transferred clean,
and your substrate is pasteurized correctly, you can pick your butt while
putting things together and it will probably be fine."

or something to that extent lol

He's also the same guy that drowns his receiving jars in iso during his g2g video in "let's grow mushrooms "

If it's ineffective why do people use it...do you use it?

I think it’s like a motorcycle helmet, it might save you if you screw up, but you’re better off not crashing in the first place.

I don't always use my jars right away but need to use the pc. Sometimes the jars sit on the shelf and collect dust. You wouldn't wash them with iso before opening in front of the hood?

I'm not saying it's ineffective it's just not a huge crutch , it's a disinfectant for molds and bacteria but not super effective on spores, I see people daily using iso in their sab  I stead of soap and water or they use Lysol or bleach but you can be just as effective if not more with soap and water and not have to work in a fire hazard, jars and shit can get wiped down because you don't want to saturate your filters and iso evaporates quickly which is also why it's not great for sab prep
