opposite temp extremes
    #26800606 - 07/03/20 01:42 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

During summer the inside temp gets to about 80°f. What I've been doing during the day is sticking an ice pack in a compartment i made under my spawn bags. The ice packs keep the temp around 75°f through the warmer part of the day.

Im gonna be out of town for 4 days and its definitely gonna get to, or slightly above 80°f for all 4 of those days. My bags are 60 to 70% colonized. With that being said, would it be better to put the bags in the refrigerator or let them sit at 80° for 4 days?

I've never heard of anyone putting a partially colonized bag in the refrigerator so I'm worried it may halt the colonization for good. If I leave them out, Im worried that the high temp may contaminate it.

Anyone have any experience with either temp extremes?

When are you leaving? At 60-70% I'd give them a shake and they should finish in a couple days. In that case I'd put them in the fridge. Not partially colonized though.

80°F or so isn't that bad though. If you have somewhere like a basement that might a just a little cooler I'd put them there.

I think you'll be okay

It will be fine. 65-75 is pretty ideal but low 80's wont harm your bags. Contamination happens outside of the bags, the temperature swings are normal. It is true that higher temperatures benefit many contaminants, if you have a clean culture it won't matter. For sure don't put them in the fridge, just break them up and let them finish up.
