I gotcha. I was just trying to get away from having to pasturize it each time cause it is a bit of a process. It'd be nice to just have it prepped and ready go straight from the bag. Supposing I get field capacity correct I was hoping I could just seal it in a bag and have it ready to go.

Hydrated coir stored properly has a shelf life at least a year long if not more. There’s a thread somewhere on mushcult where a grower used 15 month old coir from a cooler and it was perfectly fine.

Hydrated coir has a very long shelf life.

Here, put your minds at ease:

Okay perfect exactly what I wanted to hear cause I only have one 5 lb bag of the premix that I had purchased left. I have quite a few grain bags / jars going that will be ready to go to substrate within a week or two from eachother. It'll be alot easier to pasturize 1 or 2 bricks then just bag and seal the left overs.

Metabolites are a stress mechanism


I’ll shake the jars to see how they recover.
That stress would be caused from fighting some time of contam I assume?
If so then I’ll assume they’re toast


Most likely from contam, especially when it's happening in a grain jar.
It may be toast, but see if it recovers from the shake first.

Any opinions on this jar ? Its okay contam free and how long until i can use it ?


It looks like it's doing good. You can use it when it finishes colonizing.  You can try to break and shake, but it's notoriously difficult to do with brown rice.

Do you have any gas exchange? If the jars are fully sealed then mycelium growth is likely to stall out.

save yourself some work and time. Coir/cv,  (gypsum is not used by mushrooms, is unnecessary) , does not need to be pasteurized. People only pour hot water on it because it makes the coir absorb water quicker.

Is there a standard casing recipe? I had written in my notes 15 g lime dissolved in 1 qt water and added to a mix of 2 qts verm 2 qts peat. Now im thinking that water content isnt right. Another source said 2 qts water. Thats a pretty dramatic difference.

I don't pay much attention to water, just add a bit at a time until it's at field capacity. If it's too wet I'll add more verm.

The important parts are gypsum and lime percentages per peat, and temp/time

Okay thanks. Nice to know. I guess the only waiting time I'll be doing is for the hot water to mix in with the coir.

I pressure cook stuff to clean it. Unless I cook grains in it, then I use dishwashing soap and a sponge.

I've been putting them in hot water with some vinegar and a drop or two of soap, let them sit for a little, pull out and wipe dry, then wipe with iso for good measure

With glass plates, unless you've let it sit long enough for the agar to dry out, the agar should come right out. After that I use alcohol to wipe off the sharpie I use to label them and give them a rinse in hot running water. I then towel dry. You just want to get them clean. You'll be sterilizing them before you add fresh agar. I use foil for stacks of my 100mm plates and This Petri Dishes Sterilizer Box for my 90mm plates. Bake at 450F for an hour.

With LC how do you get all the liquid out? Do you use long needles?  Also how much LME at .1%-.2% would you need for 500ml of water of water?

0.5g in 500mL is 0.1%

1g in 500mL is 0.2%

I use 3” long 14 guage needles to draw out, or just pour it into your grain jars.

Anyone know where I could get some 4-6 mil thick bags. So I can seal and store extra coir after its pasteurized

Just grab you some 2.5 gallon ziplock bags. The hefty ones with the sliders are nice. Of course it can be stored in a bucket for a good while too.

Ahhh yeah, I suppose the "freezer" bags would have a good enough seal on them. Even then I'm sure I'd use it within a month or two.
