Dry Mycobag
    #5285628 - 02/10/06 12:01 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

If a mycobag is dry would it be a good idea to sterilize(boil) some water and use a syringe to try to hydrate it? Or would this be likely to cause contams?

I would add it slowly and mix in well with the substrate inside of the bag. You just want to make sure there is no standing water in the bag.

You should keep the substrate temp at 84-86, so the air temp should be 2 or 3 degrees lower. 90 degree air temp is too high.

Boiling is not really enough to sterilize water, but it will probably work. I like to keep pre-sterilized mason jars of water on hand (as well as jars of hydrated lime and ascorbic acid solutions for pH, jars of ready-to-go casing, but this is tangential).

Boiling water for 10 minutes is more than enough to sterilize it.
