Shelf life of inoculated whole oats jars?
    #27290604 - 05/02/21 03:16 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I forgot about some jars in my closet, they were inoculated using the g2g method about 5 months ago. I was wondering if I could still use them to spawn or as a master jar? Some of them are clearly too far gone but about 2-3 look nice and white. Anyone have experience using old jars successfully or should I just throw them out and start over?

Probably throw them out. Shake them and see if they start to recobsolidate.

If they reconsolidate would that mean they're safe to use without contamination?

If they look clean, there's no harm in spawning.

I recently spawned a few 8 month old jars.  Flushes were slow and wimpy, but better than trash.

I occasionally get bouts of severe laziness. Drop all my work and come back when motivated.

Yeah that's kind of what happened to me as well, I didn't  need to spawn them at the time so I just let them sit. I figured I would be ok to let them sit for a month before using them then I just forgot.
