Skansk both you and me have to stop looking at shroomery when going to the toilet at work

Toilet time is me time.

I do my shroomery research while operating the plasma welding robot and doing 4 other tasks at the same time so that I get paid while researching

But this has indeed lead to many misunderstandings ... Seriously though am I going crazy or are at least cubes supposed to be run like I said?(Hotter at inoculation and a tad cooler during fruiting)

Well that's lovely to hear because I'd need some tips on brewing actually!


I have never tried it but wanted to do so for a long time. I love alcohol but I hate alcohol prices in Scandinavia... It's absolutely ridiculous. Is it hard to brew Mead? I'm a total sucker for that shit

Well you're lucky then ecaue that's what I'm currently doing with mushies... I'm so obsessed that my gf is completely bummed out oftenly because I'm reading so much information that I just have to share it even though she doesn't understand shit and she keeps giving me this look thinking "what's wrong with him?" every time I say something because I can't stop yapping about it even though I want to... It's even worse when I'm on shrooms because I do the same but more and waaaaay faster and way more intense until my brain just melts I'm also currently using an entire room in a 3 room apartment for my shrooms and it's off limits to her because she's filthy and I've also spent a ridiculous amount of money so far.

I feel ya. I also need to pace down and I have done so but just like 15% or so, the dopamine high is way too strong. I've got way too many spores to work with now (many of them thanks to you❤️), so many that I just don't have enough Petri dishes at the moment and I'll need tons of dishes to make transfers for all these which is why I've set my eyes on just a few varieties (TTBVI, bisporus, ochra and last but not least the semps and a couple of others you sent me including those cool toque f8)

For sure, the price of a beer is just stupid, as you probably know a lot of people from my country, drive over to your country just to buy beer

But yeah just ask away my man, I've never brewed mead, but I've read a lot about it, I never brewed it because I don't really drink alcohol above 8-10%. Mead is pretty straight forward tho, water, honey and yeast. The thing about mead(wine, cider and hard seltzer) is that there is no nutrients for the yeast and that often make the yeast stressed out and produce off flavours and then it stall.

With mead you don't really need a lot of stuff to get going, but you'll need a fermenter of sort, sanitizer, something to store the finished mead in, water, honey, yeast and nutrients.

When it comes to beer there is a lot of ways to do it, all grain is definitely how you get the best and most cost effective beer, but there equipment ain't free and it's the most work Then you have extract brewing, and the last is FWK(fresh wort kit).

I'm not going to go in to detail here for the sake of the thread, but just send me a pm if there is anything I can help with

To the rest I can just say LOL, it sounds just like me man, well except I don't talk about cult while I'm tripping, the rest of what you describe could easily describe how I am

I also don't want to derail the thread, but I've brewed mead several times and it's literally so simple its hard to screw up. All you need is:

Sanitizer
Carboy (or some container equivalent)
Fermenter with bung/plug to fit your container
Yeast
Honey
Water
Patience

Other fancier items include a siphon to rack off of the sediment.

Go do some light research and have a wack at making some, it really is cost efficient.



Back to pans tho, so I inoculated my AOI jars on Saturday and won't be able to get back to them until Sunday, a late shake won't hurt right?

Looking forward to the pictures!

And yeah, they fruit at warmer temperatures. But they colonize just fine in the low 70s. Think of it like, they are trying to give the spores the best chance of survival against competitors who don't mind when it's say 65f.

https://www.shroomery.org/5234/What-is-overlay

This is in reference to gourmets, so when they talk about the temperature being too high, they are referencing a species that fruits around 60f.

For pans it's likely the opposite.

But there is a strong genetic component, not all cultures are going to do it. Some strains are more prone to it than others. And some species I've never even seen it happen with (pan bisporus).

And I guess I forgot to post this earlier. I was like where's my reply lol

I've had some weird overlays on pf cakes but didn't even get much of an overlay on my TTBVI trays and I had a hard time noticing any difference except the funky looking B+ shrooms the cakes got after that.  They didn't change sizes they just looked weird.

Back to basics when things go sideways.

And schwartzarbeiter seems to == Svarta arbetare, pretty much a necessity to stay economic.  Should be plenty of immigrants.  I am hoping for DK, although they are clamping down on immigrants (at least the economic migrants), but my heritage is SE.  I'd need to drive it to decode on outskirts of Copenhagen, Aarhus, or Odense;  Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Malmo.  Biggest concern is learning the language as I am 104yo.
