quick casing question

OK,
So I just broke up my first jar ever to case it and I used a spoon that I steralized with rubbing alcohol. I shook it then put it in a 1 gallon ziplock. I noticed when it was in the ziplock that it all kind of broke up into almost each individual grain, like it wasnt fully colonized, and not into small clumps. but it was fully colonized on the outside and I let it sit since friday to make sure the center was done. Am I just being paranoid...Does everyones grain kinda breakup really small and not be as white??? Sorry I have no pics just use your imagination. Thanks

Yeah sounds like it wasn't fully colonized. Though it shouldn't really be that big of a deal. Just put the casing back in your incubation chamber.

ive read in teks that you are suppose to put it back into the incub to recuperate(sp). I just went through the same thing ...(first 3 cakes broken up and cased). I left them in the incub over night then cased.

I know WBS when you break it up it doesn't look like all the grains are colonized fully but they are. I just case then set back into the incubation chamber.

if it wasn't 100% done and you opened it up to non sterile air your effed. but most likely it was done. when you bust up a grain jar theres not much white. just like when you skae one late.

whne i busted open my 4 jars of wbs this is the first time i have had a hard time getting them to break up. Guess they were 100% colinised.
To answer the question i have made caseing with almost colinised, they break apart easly and look about 75% done. Just takes like an extra week in the FC from my experience. GL

After you break it up all the mycelium gets crushed and it doesn't really look white and fluffy at all.

thats good to know. So if its fully colonized in the jar and I break it up and it seems not fully colonized then its ok to case it anyway...it will just take longer???

anyone have some pics for me to see of there crumbled up spawn before they case it??? I just dont get it cuz mine dont look like the ones on the casing 101 pics mine are smaller clumps and the grain almost is not white at all and there not really sticking together. Id say 50% is white and clumpy the rest is just look like grain looks with some white and all little pieces!
