My dad use to have this red truck that he would drive all the way to Moscow with. He actually got a really good deal on it from a friend of his. One day it had a strange noise coming from the trunk. A tapping noise that was on and off. He pulled over to check it out. When he got out of his truck, he stepped in a puddle, causing muddy water to splash all over his jeans. So he got back into his truck and decided to go back home.

I usually wait 3 days or so. Depending on the rate of overall colonization. If it was a slow colonizing cake I wait a little longer.

How do you KNOW your jars are 100% colonized :confused:

You cannot see into the center of the jar. Waiting a few extra days, almost always INSURES they are 100% colonized. It's just a wise move. :thumbup:

I'll put a buck on it... :grin:

seriously, it will help in 2 ways, 1 it reduces the chance of post bitrth contams
the second, it keeps you from having to wait and extra 2 weeks with it in the terrarium....

I just take umm at the exact moment they look 100% colonized on the outside - top and bottom. The rye is colonized all the way through at this point, as you can see when you break umm up - also the substrate feels moist yet not too moist. That just seems like a pain in the ass to me, taking your jars out and marking the date at which each is fully colonized so you can wait a week. If you don't dunk before casing I would think waiting a week might dwindle your water to grain/myc ratio down. To each his own I guess, it would be less of a hassle for someone who has 12 or so jars colonizing.
