Sterilizing spawn -w-out a PC
    #5539245 - 04/20/06 09:31 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

OK, I said spawn, not grain  :tongue:

I had a PC before I started using cob, so it never occurred to me until now that I might be able to get away with inoculating boiled cob. Of course it's not actually grain, but all the necessary qualities are there.

You take crushed corn cob
soak with diluted coffee 24-36 hours
Boil it 20-30 minutes
drain it
Fill quart jars
secure the lid of your choice and cover with foil
Boil the jars for 20-30 minutes to sterilize lid and glass
Let them cool down and inoculate

Seems like this would work. Cob would make great spawn, and does make excellent secondary spawn since boiling allows you to prepare large amounts in short time. I've even fruited from it, though it's no substitute for horse manure.

Try it out, let us know what happens.

what about something closer to a one hour + simmering of the jars? I realize you plan to boil them first, but your going to then transfer the cob to the jars open air right?

sounds good, but I agree that maybe a longer boiling time would be good....

I have found if you want to put the extra effort into it you can use 2 ear plugs as self healing injection ports

works GREAT!
