brown rice flour mycelium culture

I plan to prep 16cc water and 5 grams brown rice flour in a half pint jar. My goal is to fully colonize, agitate and make a bunch of inoculation syringes.
I'm not sure how I want to prep my jar lids , I want colonization as fast as possible without running much risk of contams. Thinking something like fahsters grain jar lids?
I'm also not sure exactly how long to steam / boil the jars for I'm thinking 30-45mins is fine. There isn't a lot of substance or depth to the jars theres like 21 grams of material in appose to 200+ in doc's tek he calls for 15mins pressure cooked at 15psi but I don't have a pressure cooker right now.
I'm using doc's tek as a guideline but I'm steaming instead of boiling, I want to possibly make a different type of lid and I'm using this to make syringes instead of a mycelium culture transfer like he used them for.
If anyone can tell me how well flooding a colonized PF cake and sucking up the mycelium rich liquid works as an inoculant that would be great too because I have a bunch of cakes that are fully colonized.

I have seen posts with shroomerites doing something like this and results were just as good as using a lc. very quick results, forgot about it untill now... I believe I will do this soon! Thanks.

theres a link to the tek by doc34
I dont have a pressure cooker and I think lids like fahster would be optimal. So I need to figure out my sterile procedure and I need to construct jar lids.
Using 1gram of BRF and 2.5-3ml of water would probably stomp I'm assuming it will fully colonize super super fast and it's still a HUGE amount of mycelium... considering small amounts go a long way. When I figure out my cooking and jar lids I'll make at least a couple that are 1gram brf to 2.5-3ml of water.

I've tried some grain flour culture medias. It's very difficult to get right. Out of 20 jars, in sets of 4, using BRF. The 3rd set made it, for about 3 weeks. I used LC from a very strong master culture to 'noc all trials up. I don't know what happens, maybe an inability to break down the complex sugars in that type of environment, I'm not sure. But good luck, when it works (so I hear), it works well. I had laboratory grade filters on my lids, ran out of filters, so I gave up.

Sorry, I hope haven't dissuaded you from trying. If you get it right, your jar will grow so thick with myc', it'll look like milk. That's why I tried--5 times. Again, Good Luck.

it should have been fully colonized by 3weeks no?
I just need healthy mycelium growth doesn't even have to be fully colonized as I just wanna make some inoculation syringes
besides this will cost me like a whole 30cents per experiment so I'm down.

Myc just aren't picky. you can even just shoot some sterile water into a half grown petri dish give it a swish with the needle and suck it back up.(should work with a cake too) shoot into a new cake or into 4% water sugar LC solution...or both it doesn't take much at all to start LC just 2 drops will do it. I've done the same thing with slants too. experiment a bit with the brf water ratio...too much and it's runny too little and it dries into a little cake. If you really want to do it in a jar I suggest you throw in half a marble or beer bottle shard so you can break up the mat easier. I wouldn't bother waiting for it to fully grow over though.

I have petri dishes but no pressure cooker atm.
agar is too hard to work with without a pressure cooker.
I was considering trying a malt/dextrose lc with boiling but I think this brf and water tek would be easier to achieve healthy mycelium?

How long do the BRF cultures last? Also, can you jsut start an LC with spores only? I'm new to this entire Mycology idea, and even newer to the LC stuff. Sorry, for jacking your thread BTW.

you can start a liquid culture from spores.
spores to a source of water and nutrients such as 4% sugar (karo, honey, malt, dextrose) and water.
This is proven to work doc34 made a tek on it.

liquid culture teks... theres many
fahster does a master culture with grain that I really like but haven't tried.

fool proof-ish. but im lazy and dont wanna hunt down a cheap pressure cooker, want to try this brf tek instead.

I would think a pressure cooker a must when working with grain flours. You have no idea of what endospores lurk within the flour.

Actually, just from my small amount of experience, I've done about 25 jars, little experience anyone, and so far none of them have contaminated. I have never pressure cooked them, up until today. I had contam and bacteria problems with corn and rye. I must just suck. Eh. I get my product.

rice doesn't have endospores from what I've read, I just dont know how long to cook for.
I steam my cakes for 2hours and they come out fine.
I could even nuke it in the microwave for a while or something.

You can't go very far without a PC.
 I got 3  You gotta soak corn and rye so the contams crawl out of their little cysts and you can kill em.

man what the fuck.
I've been asking about BROWN RICE as in the shit you make PF cakes with as in easily without a pressure cooker.
All I get is questions or replies that aren't related to brown rice at all.
