Is it always the same jar in the cycle? Like, say, the middle one in the PC? Or random?

I was wondering that myself. It’s not the center one, so it’s kinda hard to tell, but it might possibly be the same spot each time

Maybe you can try to put a piece of tape on the PC wall next to the jar that gets soaked and see if it happens to the next jar in the same spot. Not sure if the tape will stay stuck throughout the process though.

Good thought! I will try that next time

Big brain came up with another genius thought :grin:

The tape doesn't have to be on the inside of the PC, it can be on the outside.

That would be my first point of interest in troubleshooting that, making note of the position and seeing if it's the same one everytime.

I use synthetic filter discs with 2 piece lids so my filter setup has the most exposure - I wrap in foil though which alleviates it. Not sure of your preferred lids/filter.

Perhaps you filled up the water too high on the last few rounds, above the trivet? I've done that a few times and the boil seems to bubble up, splash over, and make a suction - drawing it in. That's mostly for my holy grail plates though, can't remember if a jar ever got drowned.🤷

Hope you figure it out brother man. 🙌🏻

I bet you it's where you're setting it. The pot is probably tilted a little bit. You probably need to adjust your oven so it's not always leaning down to the left or whatever. So it isn't constantly trying to drip on one of your jars.

That's worthy of note as well. I've had electric ranges get wonky and tilt a bit. Possible cause too. Good call. 🤙🏻

Lately 1 out of 7 jars in my PC cycle will have a soaking wet filter. Water gets into the jar and makes a nasty puck at the bottom of the grains. This has never happened to me before.

Any ideas on the cause and how to prevent it?


Is the lid on the one jar a bit concave? A few of my lids are like that, and the same waterlogging happens. Foil works to block the water raining from the PC lid as it cools. I have one piece that fits over the whole layer of jars, which is easier than individual foil pieces.

Do you crank down your lids? If so, leaving the lid a bit loose could reduce the amount of water it takes in, too - that way as the steam in the jar cools, it can equalize pressure through the threads instead of through the filter which may be waterlogged.

This literally just happened to me last night.  Exact same thing. First time tho.


Any thoughts if the jar with the mushy bottom puck is still good to use?  It's impossible to break up that part.  The rest is good.

Well, the culture you sent me is one of the two I'm talking about, and the other came from Faht...nuff said, there.

Ive got a box of your culture pinning and 3 others absolutely ripping through the sub. Spawned 6/13 and already punching the top layer. It's been warm here, but holy shit man. 😍🤙



Hell yeah , I haven't grown yeti in a couple years...so I'm glad it was still a winner

Was there foil on top of the lid?


If so is was too low hanging, and wicked the water up

yep, I just didn't want people running out and buying the consumable variety.  they also come in different humidity % thresholds, which might be preferred for whatever reason. 

its a great idea.  I'm glad you posted that pic.

It might be condensing on the valve and dripping directly on the jar

I have the flu. Feeling run down, but not super terrible. If I shower, mask and glove up, and use iso alcohol like usual, can I nocc up some jars, or should I wait until I clear this virus to do any culting?

you cant give your tubs the flu, if thats what you're asking.

I'd say take care of yourself and mushrooms can wait.

I wouldn't risk it personally.  Culting is the last thing I'd want to do feeling like shit tho.

Probably great advice. Not worried about giving mushrooms the flu, but agar is designed to pick up everything and I’d be working with agar wedges.

I’m just bummed because family was here for a week and a half so I couldn’t PC grains that whole time without raising questions and the plates are ready to go.

two jars toque f8 colonizing extremely slowly, I thought totally stalled, but after a second shake (and warmer temps) suddenly took off, colonized the jars in two days, except for those clumps. probably bacteria? maybe top fruit?
