Noob Questions
    #7398406 - 09/11/07 08:45 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Ok two questions. before i start listing them i'd liek to thank you for taking the time to help me out.

1) Is 30 minutes of pressure cooking @ 15psi enough to get rid of almost all of the bacteria therefore making it sterile?

2) Can you mix strains when innoculating PF substrate jars? I filled 2 holes and i ran out of one strain so i just put a different strain in the other two. (for those who are wondering i overshot the syringe, yes i know its noob, my first time btw. the strains were john allen and b+)

Thanks for your time


*edit

one more question. I freaked out about being sterile and i decided to clean the inside of a garbage bag that i stored the jars to inoculate so i cleaned the inside with rubbing alcohol. assuming that it evaporates, nothing bad should come of this, correct?

1) I use 30 mins for half-pint jars, 60 for quarts. YMMV.

2) That won't cause problems. It's probably not the best option, but it's ok. As you said, it was a noob thing. Syringes take a little practice.

re: cleaning bag with alcohol.
Not a problem, but avoid flames and sparks. Having a bag full of alcohol fumes explode in your face wouldn't be fun, and might very well require telling a story to somebody in a uniform...

30 is fine but remember to wait till the pressure reaches 15 psi before you start timing. If you get syringes from a good vendor or prepare your own from a print you only need about 1cc per jar.

once again thank you for clearing up everything.

haha funny story i poured too much alcohol into the bag and tried to "wave" the bag and get rid of excess alcohol and a shower landed less than an inch from my eye. (again, very noob, i apologize for being a first timer) btw a spark definitely wouldn;t have helped haha
