PF-Tek problem
    #7637003 - 11/14/07 07:25 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I made these BRF 1/2 pint jars. I think i may have added too much water because it looks like the flour (home-made from brown rice) has been leached of its color, and maybe nutrients. Sorry i dont have a picture, but they're white dots about 10x the size of a verm grain. I made these yesterday (over 24 hours), and its what they looked like when they came out of the pressure cooker, cooked for an hour at 15psi. Anyone have a similar issue?

It sounds like you didn't get it mixed up well before sterilizing. Don't waste your spores. Make another batch and be sure to follow the recipe closely. One part brf, one part water, and two parts verm. Mix very well. These free videos might help. Watch all four in order. http://video.yahoo.com/search/video?p=mushroom+cultivation&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-501&ei=UTF-8

Sounds like some water got in the jar, I am no pro (frankly quite a newb)I had the same results, water got into my jars, tinfoil not wrapped tight enough.

I just posted something along the same lines, is it bad for any more moisture/water to get in during sterilization? Im not sure.
