ok back to my casing, how the fuck do you clean the casing material off the base of fruit when you pick.. i just pulled my 1st flush...200grams fresh. but cleaning casing off is a bitch. can i rinse them in water or should dry 1st then clean.
Title: Re: my 1st casings
Post by: coyoteyogi on April 03, 2009, 02:29:47 AM
Wash in warm running water. If you need to do more than rinse, get a soft toothbrush and gently brush the debris away. If you let them dry the crap will dry too... 200 grams = well done.

I usally wait for them to dry then all the dirt crumbles off with ease.

Wait till they dry like PW has stated.
Your second and third flushes could yield 300 - 500 grams wet ;)

"ok now i filled in the holes. sprayed with water, back in F.C... at this point RH should be  90 or 95+"

95 and up.
If water starts to pool on the casings your RH is to high.

thank you PW, since those two i have done a few more.  i am learning a lot from you guys. i know i have a long way to go. so i'm getting ready to move on to grains, and i will start a new thread on that.
Title: Re: my 1st casings
Post by: shroomzer on April 22, 2009, 07:27:24 PM
Yeah me too~! Learning that is .. I copied you fattrout on lots of things, plus reading all the posts.  When people want to help with good advice and I understand it I try it out myself.  I am doing the caseings too .. but for me it seems to be a lot more than I need.  I may not do them very often but I really like this alot.

PW sad it. the only thing i did diffrent is i crumbled the cakes. read this tek too..http://www.shroomery.org/50/Casing-101

Its a cased substrate, not casing. Casing is the act of applyhing a casing layer.

Also, that looks like coir, which would have been better used as a bulk susbtrate, and just fruit incaused. Unless that is what you did, spawn to coir which would then just be a bulk substrate;

Great work nonetheless. those look good!

also, you cant have to much rh. 99-100% is deal, and you cant get higher than 100% anyway

Hey Trout...how many cakes is that in there?  Did you crumble them or just put them in whole?
Title: Re: my 1st casings
Post by: fattrout on June 01, 2009, 04:28:30 PM
yooo crazyd, i crumbled 2 cakes in the pan. about a 1/2 inch of casing mix on top...

I just used the same method that fattrout has described and can say I am very happy with the results. I harvested 110 grams (wet) on my first flush. Also there were almost no aborts at all. I started three more loaf pans yesterday and am looking forward to similar results.
