Ice cream pail growing?
    #5845948 - 07/11/06 06:42 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Would it be possible to grow in an ice cream pail instead of a jar? (Like the one pictured in the top right corner: http://www.american-trading.com/food/images/dairy/bluebunny.jpg)

I know it's kind of a silly question, but would it be totally unpractical? I have a bunch of these and I can get more pretty easily...
If I could grow in them, what extra steps would I want to take to ensure sterilization?

Ehh, I've been up for almost 20 hours now. Time for sleep.  :tongue:

sure it is...just would be much more difficult since there'd be NO way to check for full colonization....also you would have to do a bit of math to get the cakes right if you're using a pf tek...if, however, you're using a grain tek, the lack of colonization visual is really about the main concern, I would think...everything else could be dealt with via bucket mods.

i took a glass baking dish and make a huge 2 gallon cake . it colonized fasted than the little jars did i was shocked. i also used 2 syringes on them though. but it is an awesome sight to see a cake that big and it is awesome to see a cake that big going 50% faster than the little jar its next to in my inncubator. anything is possible

you could spawn jars to poo inside it, and fruit out of it like this tub....

Thanks guys.

I was just wondering...would it work is if I used saran wrap instead of the actual lid so i can see everything going on? Or maybe even I could use the lid, but just cut a little square and put saran wrap over that?

Even a full view from the top of the bucket wouldn't let you know if the cake is fully colonized.

If you really wanna make a giant cake, you should look for something other than an ice cream bucket I would think  :tongue2:

Yeah I guess you're right MustardMan.

but the pail itself is somewhat transparent...

oh well, I'll see what else I can come up with. I just don't really want to use jars.
