For me it depends on the knife I'll either finish it off with the good leather strop or I'll use a ultra fine grit diamond plate.

Sometimes depending on what they're going to be cutting. It can be good to have a little bit of the burr left on. But only a little bit. Acts like a serrated edge in a way.

But ultimately finishing up with the leather strop is the way to go.


I like the little pill pouch buggies from CVS or walgreens.  the perfect size and thickness.

Makes bending them open and holding them open while making transfers into them a lot easier in my opinion.

I never thought of keeping the burr for a semi serrated edge, thats ingenious

Some household vacuum sealers have a lil wand that comes off that you can use with special mason jar lids that have a one way valve on them for vac sealing jars at room temp. Alternately I'm wondering if you could hot water bath them with 2 piece lids to get heat and vacuum in the mix.

After a flush on brf cake do you dunk n roll again  or just let it be?

Depending on how the previous roll looks after the dunk, I either apply, skip, or partially apply fresh vermiculite.

You can also try bottom watering and skip the dunk altogether between flushes.

hi, which jar lids do you guys using for LC ore agar too grain ore g2g??? i think too make a lc and prep my lids by myselfe with a syringe filter and a sfelfe helaing injection port but i do not know which lids and which jars from the size...

---

Unless you are doing a lot of jars I would just go with an unmodified media bottle and free pour. Less steps means less vectors for contamination.

I prefer the small 100ml media bottles, fill them between 40 to 80ml depending on what I need and do a Josex's poke to inoculate the broth.



Agar to grains and grain to grain I use the wide mouth leak-proof lids with a SFD glued with RTV.

Yes that's true. Bottom watering is awesome






I use sauce jars and sauce jar lids (cuz I used to be a broke boi using broke boi tek and I converted about 15 jars for that purpose and have never really need more)

I just use micropore as a filter and a self healing injection port (they are cheap on amazon)




@Huskies... How warped is the PC. Lets see a pic



@Koma23... You could potentially mitigate the free pouring problem by using a sterile needle to suck up the non mycelial liquid leaving only densely myceliated LC/LI.

This from Eat You Alive is the one that pops in my head when I hear oven pasteurization.

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20822448

should just work as well with a roasting bag instead of a turkey tin.

what are you pasteurizing?
