Hydrate before or after pasteurizing?
    #26550285 - 03/22/20 06:30 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hey folks. Been having trouble with contams in monos lately. I'm sure the issue is dirty spawn so I've started fresh new spawn but in the meantime I'd like to try pasteurizing my coco. I don't have buckets rn for the bucket tek so I'm just going to put it in aluminum pans in the oven. My question is about getting it hydrated to field capacity.

I assume a lot of the water evaporates out and I'll have to add more after pulling it from the oven. Is that correct? Has anyone tried overhydrating so it comes out of the oven prefect?

The oven might get too hot, but i haven't tried it. Pasteurization happens between 140-160*F internal temp. That isn't hot enough to worry about losing any moisture, so get your coir to field capacity first.

I really like Frank's method, but if you need bigger batches, the oven along with the same technique (turn the heat on until core temp rises a couple degrees, kill heat, monitor temp) should still work out just fine!

If you over hydrate squeeze out until you are at field capacity.
