Yeah, man! Welcome aboard. I was soooo excited when I finally ordered my spores. If you're anything like me, you're counting down the days until they get there.
Keep us posted on your progress.
P.S.: From my experience; ultrasonic humidifiers suck for cakes. What a waste of $25.00! Use perlite, hands down.

Great plan.
Also, I'm going to write this just because, in retrospect, I wish somebody would've written something similar to me when I first started. If you're anything like anybody doing this for their first time, you will:
1: inoculate your jars, and then worry for like the first week or so about whether or not you screwed the whole thing up, and then you'll call yourself stupid for even worrying about it once they finally colonize and are ready for birth.
2: birth your jars, and then worry for like the first week or so about whether or not you screwed the whole thing up, and then you'll call yourself stupid for even worrying about it once they finally pin and start fruiting.
Also, mine took about two weeks to pin. I saw some pics on here of some cakes that took three months to pin.
I hope this has helped to reinforce how much patience this hobby takes. If you get impatient, try to look back on this post and be like: oh yeah, I shouldn't worry unless they get smelly and green!
Cheers, and more good fortune to you,
Faceyneck.

Also,
If you can, try and return your pressure cooker and get an 8 quart one. You can fit 11 jars in the eight quart, that way you only have to PC once, and just make batches of 11.
Doesn't really matter, though. If ya got the time, I suppose there is no harm in doing two PC batches.

I remember my first syringe order. I sat at the window for a week straight waiting for the mailman.
Pathetic. =)
