PF - Tek / Re: Pinning Question...
February 10, 2010, 03:12:23 PM
I used to dunk my cakes for 24 hours which will cause pins to drown and rot. If you only dunk them for ten hours you will be OK with the existing pins but you are not hydrating the cakes fully. I am no longer using cakes though.

You probably will have more success if you dunk and roll them after birthing. Just remove the pins first as they could drown and rot on your cakes causing them to become contaminated.

Uhh, they have to incubate in the dark. I don't know where you came up with the indirect light stuff, but it sounds like you may need to study up some on your TEk. Why would anyone with any amount of common sense place a hot cooking vessel on carpet to cool off? Use your head man that's one of the reasons you have one (the big one that is).

It's all about the amount of nutrients in the cake. Crumbled or otherwise.

Tap water will work OK unless it is so bad you can't drink it. Remember, you are putting the jars in a PC that is going to sterilize everything anyway.

If he has been a smart vendor there won't be any records.

They look great. You should soon be seeing pins.

Being right is one thing and having " the man " hassle you is a totally different subject. They may end up dropping most of those charges but financially they have basically shut him down.

It is a heater. That is what they do. They don't cool things off that are warmer than the setting.

Just pullin your leg a little. Yes, it is much better to be safe than it is to eat something that could make you violently ill or worse. One of the last things you would want to happen is to get sick while tripping.

I believe that quote has to do with harvesting wild mushrooms. If you have grown your mushrooms with spores from a reliable source I do not believe this would be a concern. But if you are that concerned perhaps you should consider another hobby. Besides what if your parents find out what you are up to.

Yes. You may also want to re-roll The cakes in verm for moisture retention.

They just need enough light to tell which way is up. If there is enough light to be able to see printed material that is plenty.

You won't be able to extract the cakes from those jars without tearing them up. The glasses that you were going to use will work fine IMO.

Yea, dub pretty well covered everything.

If you mean taping the foil on, it probably wouldn't hold up to well in your PC or to the boiling water sterilization method either for that matter. If you mean using micropore tape to cover the resulting holes after inoculation, it couldn't hurt but the layer of pure verm on the top is there to provide a barrier for contaminants. I hope this helps.
#98
I don't know what it is either. What I do know is that it doesn't look like anything you want to have around any healthy cakes you may still have. If I were you I would just toss it as soon as possible and start over. Better luck next time.

I don't know what "surgical spirit " is. I always use 91% alcohol.

Right. Just use two layers of foil. Then remove the top layer for inoculation. Good luck!
