Bulk Grain Prep and contams?
    #26819992 - 07/12/20 06:33 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hi Shroomery,  Does anyone have a good way of draining large amounts (like 7-10kg) of wbs?  I just switched to spawn bags and wbs, previously used jars and rye grains.  So im having a hard time doing bulk grain prep, I am boiling water and letting it soak for an hour.  When I drain it, I drain over closet shelves and some garden mesh from dollarama.  The sieve size is a little bigger then the smallest grain in the wbs.  I tried 7kgs of grain and let drain for 24 hours.  It was still a little wet.  Im thinking of doing half the load next time so i can spread a thinner layer of grains over the mesh. Or should i add gypsum and verm to dry up the grains? also, should i wash grains with water and being steeped for an hour?

Also, my previous attempt i did a g2g spawn bag and the grain looks wierd compared to spawn jars, usually the mycellium is more fuzzy as opposed to picture 1.  My 2nd pic is same batch but i went agar to spawn bag,  i think it got contaminated, therefore im just gonna do agar to LC to spawn bag now.  Any comments are appreciated.

Try following a tek. Start with agar. Clean your culture via transfers before innoculating grain. As for your grain prep I would just soak wbs for 24hr then strain until no more drips. Load jars damp, but drained, and PC for 2hr. I assume you're using a SAB, but if not then go get a 200qt sterelite tub and make one.
