for you spore to spork guys, how are you handling your spawn production?
i was considering making a handful of quart "masters" and storing them in the fridge.

pull one, and expand to "X" amount of grain bags.

my volume is going to be super low, I would only need 20qts a week at the max*

*ill be running unsupplemented blocks, 1qt of spawn per 5lb block

I always thought best practice was to go from agar to grains on a weekly basis so you have fresh spawn to use each week.

Anecdotally I have seen some benefit to using slightly aged spawn (quicker colonization). So you may be able to store grains in the fridge for a few weeks and still get good results. This is my experience going agar to grains to bulk. No g2g.

It gets a little messier doing g2g and the risk of bacterial contam goes up. For instance, if your grains are sitting in the fridge for 3-5 weeks they have a longer window to pick up some bacteria which will be expanded if you g2g.

Thanks Dave

So is the mean green a death sentence for wine caps, or is it ok? I know they need bacteria and molds to thrive but I always thought trich was a tub killer. I'm not misting the tub at all. I'm currently cold shocking it at around 45-50f.
