Steam Pasturized Substrate Question
    #6701036 - 03/22/07 09:28 PM (17 years, 10 days ago)

When pasturizing pre-hydrated poo/straw in open container with live steam, will its moisture content stay stable? Don't want it to be too wet after pasturizing for 2-3hr.

That's impossible to say without knowing the setup. If the steam condenses and drips back down, it can get the substrate wet, and if the box is open, it can evaporate, thus drying out your substrate. Be sure to use a thermometer so you can monitor temperature, and keep it at 140F to 160F for an hour in the center, then check for field capacity once it cools down.
