Why does grain with higher moisture content take longer to germinate/colonize?
    #7699838 - 11/30/07 04:41 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I've noticed when grains have a higher water content during the colonization stage usually the dryer jars are faster to germinate and colonize than the moist grain.

It can take up to a week to see my LC start takin off in the grains with a higher water content compared to a few days with the others.

I think i've heard RR say he makes his jars slightly on the dry side too. Just curious as to why, i cant find a solid answer.

TY

It's because fungus grows better on damp things than on wet things. The grains aren't really dry when properly prepared, they just 'look' dry. That allows the most amount of air in the spaces around the grains, thus favoring the mushroom mycelium over bacteria, which prefer a wetter, more anaerobic environment.
