Title: Bulk and pinsets
Post by: psycho4psilo on August 08, 2007, 02:20:57 PM
Harvested my very 1st flush from my "mini" bulk tub of hay/cow shit (excuse me, straw and POO).  What do y'all think?? :huh:

Turned out pretty good I thot, over 600 grms NET (deducted tare this time).  Gotta love the straw / poo - so much simplier - IMO - than cakes.   -_-

Pinning was not consistent tho across casing at same time and must work on this.  Any ideas why that might be?  Possibly casing too thick in areas?  Thus the late emergence of the other pins?? :huh:


Any suggestions?

Thx!

wow, mabey  I'd better have that recepie.
stuck on cakes.

after the cakes colonize they can be crumbled and cased? I think I read a tek on it somewhere.

Cakes don't need to be crumbled.
That causes a couple day recovery
look at this  http://www.fungifun.org/English/Casing
Anno dont crumble them
Crumbling cakes is a waste of time  -_-

Heres a link that kinda follows this tek used for grains or cakes which describes the crumbling. 
I'm no expert, but I crumbled mine for two reasons.

1. did not use wide mouth jars and had to "dig" out the sub.
2. spawned one jar to hay and cow shit and then cased  and the other to the casing mix

Crumbling will work but is it necessary?  Probably not, I had no other options tho.  I should have been clearer on that part, my bad ;(
