Does anyone find a shake can bring contams out?
    #27073558 - 12/05/20 01:16 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

So the contams were obviously already in the jars, obviously... but sometimes after a shake the contams will present themselves. It sounds dumb but I have a batch right now that has shown some contams (I lived in a kinda trashy duplex, moved to my own clean house now,) and it’s made me not want to shake them and just let them go. I know that sounds insane, and I know I’ll get shit for it but I’m posting it anyways.

I just felt that maby not shaking a soso batch may help keep contam levels low. Quart grain jars. WBS

Always seems to show up soon after a shake for me.

Is it useless to not shake them then or I wonder if that could help in some way?

Shaking is a great way to show any up hidden contams. Purposely not shaking as to try not spread known contams around isn’t really going to help anything, it’s going to get mixed up in your sub anyway.

Not shaking will not prevent contams from growing, it will only prevent you from knowing about them before spawning. If a jar 'tams after shaking, it wasn't the shake that caused it. Just the shake that revealed it. Covering an infected wound does not stop the infection from growing.

I think it's better to shake and expose the contam sooner.  That way you know you need to get another batch of agar, etc. going.

Yes, by shaking you tear and damage the colony leaving it susceptible to latent competitive infections. The mycelium is weakened during recovery, shaking allows you to observe how the jar recovers. Recovery gives contamination a window of opportunity to make itself known, recovery speed is an indication of over-all health.
