How careful, sterile-wise, should you be with your monotub substrate?
    #27003533 - 10/25/20 08:00 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I have read that making a monotub (substrate and grain spawn) is a non-sterile process once the grain is colonized and the substrate is pasteurized.

I have treated the process as such by just spraying down the area with ISO and wearing gloves. I put the substrate (CVWC) and grain into the tub and mix thoroughly, level and put the lid on.

The problem is I am getting a high percentage of trich contaminated bins.

Question: To what extent should sterile processes be, or not be, used when mixing up monotubs? What do you do?

It isn't a sterile process because a tub isn't a sterile environment. If you are getting a high amount of trich, start with your spawn because that is most likely the culprit.

So , assuming you have clean grain and substrate, if trich (or anything else) should get into the sub and/or spawn while mixing up a tub, the idea would be that healthy spawn should be able to fight off its growth?
