boiling perlite?
    #5784319 - 06/23/06 04:35 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

im just about to make my fc. would it be alright to boil perlite so that the perlite and the water in it is going to be semi-sterile? everytime my cakes get contaminated its at the fruiting stage, which should be the least likely time. im just trying to take every precaution that i can this time.

I sterilize my used perlite with an overnight bleach/water dunk then just rinse and drain the next day takes about 5 min.

The cakes should be pretty damn contam resistant. Are you making sure they are 100% colonized before birthing? Are you placing the cakes directly on the perlite?
