I do not cook. I make grilled cheese sometimes, and that's about it. Which is why I get a chuckle out of how much kitchenware I've purchased in the last handful of months and also find myself doing way too many dishes for a mf who doesn't cook.

Edit: I should have started with mentioning that Ill be buying this for printing.

Im using 0.2% LME LC. They always say to test your LC but to me it seems the very act of testing the LC opens it up to potential contam. How obvious is it when LC is contaminated? It seems very obvious to me. Obvious to the point that testing no longer serves a purpose. Last time I opened LC to test it the plate was clean but the LC started growing some shiney chunks in it.

I've been working on PF tek. One of my jars is way ahead of the others. What's the best way to fruit a single jar? I think I've read that water tubs work best with multiple cakes. Is that true?

Just got to be careful that your propane burner isn't too powerful. Like one of those turkey cooker burners is way too many btu. Maybe something like an outdoor camping Grill. The kind that has foldable legs but it's actually thick heavy cast iron or something


Just make sure you check how many BTU the pressure cooker is rated for so it doesn't warp and break it.

Good point, you definitely don't want a turkey fryer for this. My PC - a Mirro MIR-92122A - needs to stay under 12k BTU according to the directions, a camp stove type burner is good there. But sometimes I wonder if the biggest burner on my gas stove is more powerful than that.

---

This is my gas stove top I use. I have no idea what it's rated but it works perfectly fine. They are restaurant style burners but they're more of a medium size then what you would see in an actual restaurant






As long as the flame isn't like a super powerful blowtorch that makes a ton of noise from how hard its blowing. I think you're okay. That's what those turkey burners are like they're like mini blow  torches. Lol

So, I’m following the PF Tek that’s suggested in the Hitchhiker’s guide.  It says to leave the cakes in a sealed water tub for 48 hours until the mycelium has come through the layer of vermiculite. However, it’s now been a week and I’m just getting the tufts that you see in the pictures below.  Should I go ahead and start with FAE and misting or let it cook? 

---

I think I’m just gonna give it FAE and see what happens.

---

Disclaimer - I'm no pro and havent done cakes in like 15 yrs so take me with a hefty dose of salt. I just saw you haven't gotten any feedback so figured I'd simply say that if I was in your situation, I'd let er rip. If the tub is sealed somehow or whatever, I'd provide FAE. Idk if thats ideal here, but considering the verm layer is moreso a performance supplement than a necessity, I would personal say fug it and roll with it.

---

Yeah you don't have to wait for the myc to fully colonize that verm. Go ahead and give it some Fae start misting you'll see pins in no time. I've got a tub going on right now that's on the fourth flush and I still haven't had my sodium colonize all the verm here check it out

Contam? Or just metabolites?
And this is probably a stupid question, but if it is contam can I still eat the fruits that have been growing?
