storing pasteurized coir and casings
    #7557573 - 10/24/07 11:48 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Is this a right way to pasteurize coir:

1. put a few bricks into a cooler, add boiling water and spent coffee grounds.
2. let sit for 2 hours
3. let sit in bucket more until room temperature
4. take bucket with the coir inside your clean bathroom and add colonized jars

Is that right? How do you guys cool your coir? Do you just let it sit inside your bucket until it is room temp, or would it be better to move the coir into a clean bucket and seal it until it is ready to use?

Thanks.

Coir does not contam, ive left it in a garbage in my basement at my old place for almost a year and a half and never had any contamination issues with it even while it was still damp :smile:

Funny thing is even after a year and a half it was still moist, heh.

Soak it, drain it, dry it (if you want) and throw it in a bag somewhere, pasturize it when your ready to use.

I dry unused substrate out completely and store them in clean buckets with lids. Do the same for used coffee grounds from starbucks as well... While coir is typically heavily treated with trich (different kind) to prevent contaminations, it can and will still contaminate if it gets the chance. Letting it sun-dry will make it a lot healthier to store.

I prefer to just leave it in brick form until I'm ready to hydrate it :thumbup:

Well no doubt, lol.  But at the same time I've been known to hydrate the coir and mix in the (dry) coffee and gypsum amendments and store it dry a week or two before I'm ready to spawn.  Gives me less to do on spawn-day and makes it easier for me to determine how much water is required for field capacity... once premixed and dried, it tends to take pretty much the same amount of water each time for a given amount of volume.

LOL...
