grain bags?? please help!
    #7900932 - 01/19/08 09:53 AM (16 years, 13 days ago)

hey everyone.. ive been searching the forums to find either a gd video or a gd post on grain bags and how to inoculate them.... i figured that if i posted id hav a much better chance of finding out what im trying to find out.... any advice about the whole procedure of grain bags and how to go about inoculating them... i am not a complete newb to mycology and its wonders... i have experimented with jars using the pf tek methods and trying a variety of strains... i have had little success due to sterilization procedures... i havent been able to find rubbing alcohol and things like that to aid in steralization... anyway... anything would be greatly appreciated... by the way i will be using a grain bag which has been brought.. is already sterilized and contains vermiculite and rye grain im assuming. the bag came with no instructions and it seems to be vacume packed which seems odd as i wud of thought no mycelium would be able to grow.. any ideas..... thanks again.. shroomhead07

You'll need a plenum of air in the top of the bag for it to do well. Since you asked about a video, there's a full grain tek, as well as teks on filter patch bags in my DVD. Click the link in my sig. They still report 'out of stock' but they have another carton on the way, so you can order it.

how can you not find rubbing alcohol unless you live in bedrock? its a very common thing to find in any store.. shit.. I think 7/11 sells rubbing alcohol.. haha.. try your local supermarket, over in the healthcare section...

make a filter patch at the top, and stick a sterile needle in there and squeeze.. I dont see why sterilizing stuff is such a big deal.. I always sterilize (which is the simplest part of growing) to a perfect extent, and practice sterile techniques, and I am fine.. just dont be careless in your inoculation and what not, and you will have good cultures.. although, for some, this can be an acquired skill... haha... you will , eventually get your tek down, and you will be kosher... just read, try, try, read...

Usually vendor purchased grain bags have all of the air squeezed out so that they can be shipped easily. They should expand during colonization, but you can hang them with some kind of clip from the top and they should suck in some air after a few hours. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about: http://www.shroomery.org/images/28017/133364827-bagshung.jpg
