A few questions before I start...

I'm going to start growing mushrooms soon using the PF tek and I have a few questions before I get started. First I read that I need organic brown rice flour and I went out and bought http://www.hodgsonmill.com/roi/673/All-Natural-Flours--Corn-Meals/Brown-Rice-Flour-05041.htm Is this the right kind or is that not organic? It says natural but I don't know if there is a different special organic kind. Also for sterilizing the jar can I just boil water and use cloth at the bottom so it doesn't touch the bottom and crack? If not how can I do this without having a pressure cooker. Thanks for any help.

im almost sure natural and organic are the same thing. but i may be wrong.

If you are unable to find or buy a pressure cooker, you can also sterilize the jars using a big pot with a lid. In this case steam the jars for 1.5 hours in a pot lid on. Use only approximately 1 inch of water at the bottom. You might have to add some water to the pot during steaming due to evaporation.
quote was taken from this. You should read that a thousand times. then read it again.
good luck, -SN

it doesnt matter if it says organic or natural on it. it will be just fine if it says brown rice flour on it. The stuff you hve will work great. Just use a big pot, Do not let the water splash up the sides of the jar. You want to bring the water to a boil and then turn it down so it simmers/ Do this for an hour from when it starts to boil.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
