Well, somehow we've got trich running rampant in our jars. (our being my roommate and I). We PCed rye, half of it got trich. I tried a few quart jars on BRF, they all got trich. So, obviously at some point, our sterile procedure got a little lax, and now we're paying for it. The question is, barring moving to a new house, how do we get rid of it? Getting rid of anything old in the fridge/likely candidates for mould seems like a good start, but is there anything else we can do?

I'd clean the room I do all my 'cultivating' in from top to bottom, wash, spray, wipe, everything. AND DO NOT open those jars, boil them if you need to keep the jars, and dump them away from your house.

If you are using a known-good syringe, and your jars are designed right- you shouldn't be able to get trich in your jars. Unless you aren't PCing them long enough?

he nailed it, and i suppose you did too by suggesting yourself and roommate. its either the syringe, you, your roommate, or your procedure (inoculation method/temp and time of cook/etc)

I'm starting to think it might have been the syringe or the actual moment of inoculation. It was a reused syringe that I sterilized, or so I thought. Maybe it's not as sterile as I thought. I just did two jars tonight as an experiment, so if they get trich, I'll know where the problem lies. Thanks for the help.
