Dry WBS
    #5547930 - 04/23/06 03:48 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

About 2 days after PCing my WBS jars they look almost like they dried out completely. Is this normal or should I redo?

looks can be deceiving, it's hard to tell the moisture content of grain just by looking at it. You can tell a little bit by shaking them, they shouldn't sound like maracas.

I am assuming that you allowed the WBS to soak for about 24 hrs before PCing so it would be at or around optimal hydration?

w/e skeletor is talking about lol :wink:...

i soak for 24-48 hours and then jar up and pc and have let them sit for up to 3 weeks and they still have perfect moisture content so they should be fine.

but i'm no expert

as they said in some movie(i don't remember which one);

a belief is a dangerous thing, people will kill over it; instead of believing you need to find your facts and then have an opinionated idea that you are willing to change in light of new evidence

The above posters are right, looks can definately be deceiving. I had some old WBS jars that were at minimum 6 months old. They looked dead, but I figured I had plenty of spores so I might as well see; sure enough I knocked them up with several CC's of solution and two weeks later I have two ideal spawnmasters.

They're probably fine if you did your soak right.

I did FooMan's method so I guess we'll wait and see.
