WBS question
    #5472504 - 04/02/06 09:50 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I have been experimenting with different sterilization and soaking techniques over the past couple weeks. The only jars that are almost 100% colonized contain wbs that I soaked for 24 hours and LIGHTLY simmered for 20 min. The first batch I made was way too wet..contams happened within a couple of days.
I just pc'd 7 new jars of wbs for 75 min at 15 psi. They had been soaking for about 2 and a half days. This time I did not simmer.
After the PC was done, the kitchen smelled like cooked wbs...not burnt. Inside the pc there was still about 2 inches of water left. The seeds look a tad darker than my colonized ones plus the small grains(the tiny white balls in wbs mix) are not nearly as large as the others. I plan on innoculating them plus another batch of wbs prepped the same way as before. Should I bother innoculating them or should I toss?
Would I be able to use the wbs over again by opening the sterilized jars, simmering for 20 minutes and then re-sterilizing? Or would that lead to mush?

I like a 24 - 30 hr soak myself. Make sure they are drained well and PC for 90 minutes.

read this: agar on WBS 

No need for a simmer, just keep adding water until the grain stays submerged. :thumbup:

I'd say those jars are fine though, going by your soak time.

if you don't like draying well more the waiting for that to happen toss in a tiny bit of damp verm to the bottom of the jars that will soak up any excess water from you poor draining. this is what i do. also you can rePC grain. ive done it before i thought about the verm thing when i had jars that were just too wet. worked fine. but i didn't resimmer or soak i just drained them better got that extra water away and re PCd to sterilize again. also i cut back on the PC time that time since i didn't need to full bang to get those hardcore buggers killed since id already killed them with the first pc.
hope that helps

I soak mine for about 12 hrs or less, i use a tevlk barior then a polly fill lid, i let the WBS dry enough, i usually just shake it around in my pasta strainer then PC @ 15psi for about 90 min as well, so far out of about 40 jars of Z and B+ no contams :smile:
