Sterilizing and pasteurizing... confused!
    #5271458 - 02/06/06 09:31 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I've searched and read posts where people discussed sterilizing and pasteurizing, but I still can't figure out the difference. The best I can come up with is that sterilizing is done in the PC and pasteurizing is done by baking? But then again, other people mention using a microwave, etc.

Bottom line: What I need to do is make my 50/50 verm/ peat mixture never smell like a combination of scotch and feet again. What's the best way for me to do this?

Sterilizing

Pasteurization

You want to Sterilize the 50/50 mix, nuke it for 3-5 min then stir and then 3-5min again, don't open till cool and ready to use

Simple answer:

Sterilizing is what happens when you (hopefully) remove all microbial life from a substrate. It is usually done in a pressure cooker or autoclave. 15psi for 75 min is what I do for quart jars of casing.

Pasteurizing is what happens when you kill unwanted microbial life, such as mold and nasty bacteria, in a substrate. Beneficial microbes are left behind. This can be done by cooking at 170 for an hour or so (although I do it for longer).

If you have a pressure cooker, use it. Otherwise, there are other methods of sterilizing and pasteurizing. Search the board.

At times I get consumed by my everyday life and will leave the Shroomery. Yet, every time drugs come falling into my life for fun.....I always think about the Shroomery and then I'm back!
