Shaking wbs too much
    #8524347 - 06/14/08 05:32 PM (16 years, 7 months ago)

I was just wondering if you can shake your WBS too much or does the more you shake it the faster it colonizes.

And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses,
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.

you only want to shake it when it needs it, otherwise, you could slow it down a little, just be sure to let the mycelium grow out for a few days between shakes.

though when my jars start to get to near 80-100% i shake them more frequently, and when it gets to 100%, i shake them  a few more times and let them recover before i use them, it decreases leap off time.

You're only supposed to shake ONCE during colonization, at about 20%.  Any more is counter-productive, because the jars will be fully colonized four to five days later.  If you shake a second time, you only delay full colonization.

lol, i can tell you right now that it slows down colonization.

I shook my jars at about 20% colonization, then i read a day later that i need to break up the mycelium pretty good when shaking, so that day i shook the jars again, and its taking a couple days for mycelium to come back...  :frown:

Shake once at about 20% make sure there is no large clumps bigger than grape.
