Just Inocculated, BRF has turned to BRF dough, HELP
    #5276306 - 02/08/06 04:38 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hey I just inoculated 4 cakes and in 3 of them the BRF has turned to dough. I made sure they had the right substrate mix ratios. This problem occured last time I inoculated so I threw them out.

My questions are 1. Will they still work

2.Is the reason this happened because steam is leaking into the containers (they have holes in the lids and I don't think the alfoil is keeping the steam out).

3. To fix the problem next time should I place the cakes into a microwave safe plastic bag and seal before boiling in a pot (I don't have a PC yet).

Any suggestions or help is very welcome. Thanks people.

The containers are 250mL. I've been very successful with them in the past but I think perhaps over time they have slightly expanded and ar no longer very water/airtight. It's hard to find untapered glass jars around here.

Dude...you are useing Waaaaaaaaay way way to much BRF if your containers are looking like that.

Ive over done it myself on jar's and they looked exactly the same, they will still colonize however. Nextime you'll want to up the substrate alot better and use a tad bit less BRF lol...

Just wait it will start to colonize.

Chubbmeister - yes I can understand that it's getting too wet but like I stated in my original post they are hard to find where I live.

Pr0_X - The ratio's I use are 50% Vermiculite, 25% BRF and 25% H2O. I normally don't encounter these problems.

So can anyone tell me whether putting them in a large plastic zip lock bag would work while sterilizing.

Guess maybe I might just have to experiment myself a bit this time...

Big Thankyou to FungusMan, chubbmeister and Pr0_X for actually replying.

EDIT: Thankyou to Juan_del_Pueblo aswell

aslong as a suffiant amount of heat is being transffered to the substrate it shouldn't matter what your useing as a container. The container itself needs enough heat to sterilize it aswell however, just follow that and you shouldnt have any problems.

If jars are so rare to find, oreder some spawn bags. U can reuse those. If I were you though, I would just move on to grains. Alot easier than measuring this and that. Colonises faster too....
