Higer volume baggers - what's your contam rate?
    #26930983 - 09/11/20 11:14 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Question for people preparing grain bags (above 100+): what are your pre-inoculation contam rates?

I am finding about 2%. Is this normal? I seem to get about 2 very white mycelium looking, possible bacterial, looking bags out of 100. Just to be clear, this is before I inoculate. I generally wait 5 days or so before using bags.

Simple oat TEK 45min boil, grains "plump" but al dente (prepared on the "drier" side), in AA 75s. 120min @ 15psi, 3.5lbs, .5 micron bags.

Bags are often sterilized longer from what I’ve observed. Like 2:30-3hrs. If you’re losing bags just from sitting around, I would guess they either aren’t being sterilized completely or are being handled improperly (i.e, maybe the seal formed is inadequate or you’re removing them from the PC too quickly and drawing contains, etc). Just my 0.02!

I just realized I didn’t answer your main question, and I don’t know the answer. They don’t generally sit around long enough for me get an estimate like that. 5 days is really fast to notice contams though, I would wager inadequate sterilization is the issue. Is there space between your bags to allow the steam to make contact across most the surface of each bag?

Why wait so long?

Yeah, 1 or 2 every 100 is where u should be.

I always do 120 min @ 20 psi for bags

Thanks for all the input guys. I think i will increase psi net rounds and have my guys handle them with more care. I am happy to hear that 2% is avg. however.

For bags?  120min?  You mean 20psi? My vent exhausts at 26psi but it never does
