How do people wash their jars? Dishwasher? What about the lid with the filter on it?

Just wash the filter as well if you need to, I generally just brush anything off and reuse the lid.

Sometimes agar or grain will get glued in place in them so I use a toilet brush that barely fits inside the jar to scrub off anything with dish soap & water then rinse it out.  For lids I use the same brush to clean the underside/threads then just rinse them out.  If they're really nasty for some reason I'll soak them in bleach water for an hour or two first to loosed things up.  This is for one piece lids with real SFDs melted in place though so it may be a bit aggressive for cheap paper filters.

Dish soap + hot water + bottle brush

Dishwasher always left them still dirty and I could see residue when held to light

Quick wipe with iso on bottom of lids

Unless there’s contamination in the jars, I just rinse them out after spawning then when I add more grain, I wipe the top of the rim with a wet towel before putting the lid on.

Sometimes I’ll get bored while waiting for grain to drain and wash em but not if I have a decent amount of jars.  Rinsing does a really good job of getting things β€œclean” when the previous contents were fresh.

If I can’t trust my pc to sterilize a few tiny bits of things that maybe remain attached to the glass, how can I trust it to sterilize an entire pound of grain?

I work brown rice. I soak overnight, boil for 10 mins, then run cold water to stop the cooking process. but I'm not a TC so take this with a grain of salt.

Is it safe to clone fruits from a contaminated tub? My TW tubs keep contaminating. Thinking the syringe is enmeshed in something because the sgar always looks good. Hoping a big meaty feuit will get me a clean culture.

You can totally get away with that, especially if it's not something like trich or bacterial blotching, which can be in fruits.
I would dip it in sterile water before breaking it open tho

Im still having issues with trich in my tubs. Im thinking maybe after a 24 hour soak and 10 minute simmer my wbs still isnt quite hydrated enough. It is possible this can lead to trich through insufficient sterilization?

Going to try a 15-20 minute simmer next time. Grains cant be overhydrated can they? As long as theyre properly dried?

Same.

Warning! Don't leave them in the sun too long. e.g. weeks or months.
They will become super brittle like dry egg shells. Maybe just a desert thing, but I was just hosing and stacking them outside and had to replace a dozen or so that sat out there too long.

Yes,
Grains can definitely be overhydrated, if they dont break up after sterilization they were.


Add wbs to boiling water cut heat and strain after 2 hrs.

Spread thinly and throw a fan on it stirring every  1/2 hour until its dry to the touch for 2-3 hrs or leave overnight, stir once in am and load it.

Make sure you’re venting long enough (bump it up to 20 min for extra security)

My WBS preps:

Hot Soak
Wash WBS until water runs clear
Pour boiling water over grains
Soak for 45 minutes
Drain water, wash with cold tap water
Let drip dry in bag/pillowcase 45 minutes
Load moist and PC for 2 hours

Cold Soak
Wash WBS until water runs clear
Add cold/room temp tap water
Soak for 12-16 hours
Drain water
Let drip dry for 45 minutes
Load moist and PC for 2 hours

No Prep
Load 1.5 cups WBS into each quart jar
Add 3/4 cup water
PC for 2.5 hours

The hot and cold soak both work great. The no prep is fine, but it comes out a bit grimy in the bottom since the grains aren’t washed. I don’t recommend the no prep unless you have clean grain.
