Water Injection in PF Jars, Heat and Colonization?'s
    #5401591 - 03/14/06 11:24 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Questions and Ideas - Please share your experiences


If you had a jar with a substrate that was partially colonized ~70-80%
B+ Strand. A bit over 4wks gone by. I have read that the substrate will condense as it becomes stronger.

Question:
I believe that colonized substrate can be stunted in growth when incubating at temperatures greater than 85F. I also believe that the cake can become more condensed in nature do to the colonized part of the cake working harder to access the water? - Has any one else similar effects, and what steps did you take to alter that.

I was thinking if someone was in this situation, would injecting a sterilized needed, (boiled water) and injecting in the cake would alter the effects of the higher heat or possible lack of water when utilizing the pf method or does a person just need to be a bit more patients?


Please share your ideas,

Thanks

Good question, I was very tempted to add water to my jars back when I first started. Instead, I waited and they turned out perfectly. :smile:

Be patient. :wink:

this may have had nothing to do with the question, but you mentioned adding water...

It's just too hard to be patient. (c:

What methods have people utilized to speed colonization, not necessarily just pf jars but any substrate.

I am very interested in hearing information on a variety of peoples experiences.

I didn't have a specific method, I just went with a fast colonizing strain.
I kept it at 75.
Cambodians. They are my fave and it's fast.

Lack of oxygen / build-up of CO2 will slow growth. Are your inoc holes open or filtered? Make sure they are. Try turning the jars upside-down and knocking them loose so CO2 can "fall" out. Stick a nickel under the rim so it can breath. After turning them upside-down, soon you'll be able to see if the cakes are moist because it'll build-up at the "top", that is, the former bottom of the jar.

Okay, Is that a reason that most people use grain?
