Questions with developing efficiency...?
    #26727515 - 06/07/20 08:29 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I have always been concerned about these issues that would make me more efficient, and save time and energy:

1) How long is sterilized grain good for? In my case, my choice of grain is rye berries, but I always prepare my grain whenever I am ready to inoculate. Could I instead just make a bulk prep of jars of rye berries early and keep them for whenever I am ready for inoculation? If so, how long would jars of sterilized rye berries after a PC cycle be good for? Or is it best practice to just make jars of grain when I am ready to use them?

2) When transferring and doing agar work, is it okay to let your culture touch the edges of the glass/plates? I have always been under the assumption that when they touch the edges it invites and starts contamination, so I have been sticking them in the refrigerator to stall growth when it gets near so I don't risk any contamination of any cultures if I am not yet ready. Am I being too worried and overly cautious about this? Because I am thinking I have to use them to inoculate before they hit the edge or should I just keep putting them in the refrigerator until I am ready to use them for inoculation?

I am looking to develop in efficiency. Thank you for your input and answers.
