2nd attempt at honey LC, what went wrong?
    #8193793 - 03/25/08 09:22 PM (15 years, 10 months ago)

A friend of mine has just failed for the second time trying to make some honey LC's.

First attempt was made following a post on the forum which called for ~4g honey into ~100mL water. This post can be found here for reference:

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5874305#5874305

Solution was heated in microwave for about a minute, then stirred to help dissovle. Jars were then boiled for half hour. After letting cool, they were inoculated multi-spore and left to incubate.

A day later one jar showed bits and pieces of sediment collecting on bottom. The other jar revealed the same thing a few days later. No myc growth was ever established.

Second attempt was made with some modifications to try and fix what went wrong the first time.

After reading some more posts, ratios were changed so that one teaspoon honey was added to one half-cup bottled spring water. This ended up being ~6g honey to ~120mL water. Solution was again heated then stirred to help honey dissovle. This was then filtered through 2 coffee filters into a half-pint jar to try and remove some of the sediment. This was then PCed for 15 minutes insted of boiled, in an attempt to follow instructions exactly.

After jar were allowed to cool and removed from PC, there was an obvious collection of sediments floating on the bottom. These sediments were not even present in the first attempt, which wasn't even filtered with the coffee filters.

My friend fears the honey may have carmelized causing the chunks on the bottom, although this is hard to beleive seeing others have had success PCing for exactly 15 minutes as well?

Here is a picture of what the jars look like:



It is easier to make out these sediment chunks in the left jar.

Question is, what needs to be changed from this procedure to produce results like those seen on this forum? Should my friend abandon honey all together and try his luck with karo or something similar?

By the way, the brand honey used is "Great Value, Clover Honey" claimed to be US Grade A Pure! Has anyone had luck with this particular brand?

Thanks for the input, if you need to know any more information about this procedure, please ask.

Sediment had never really been a problem with my LC's. I mean I get sediment, it just doesn't cause me any problems.

Remember to shake, at least, every other day. It breaks up the myc. and stimulates growth.

I use 4 CC molasses to 1 liter water.

I'm not exactly sure why your isn't working.
At first I thought it was too much sugar but you seem to be at 4%



Yeah it isn't crystal clear but it works.
90 minutes at 15 PSI
I think sediment helps growth but makes contaminants harder to spot.
