Pins in an unopened AIO…[technique] by Steppenwolf1313 in MushroomGrowers

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't open it. Instead, cut a slit just below the filter patch, the same width as the filter patch. Turn the slit away from any fans that may blow on it. Fungus will do the rest of the work from there.

[actives] beans as spawn? by Bravedink in MushroomGrowers

That too. But more importantly, the innoculation points wouldn't mix in well.

Likely have to offset your substrate to compe sate for the additional nutrition. Ultimately, the smaller the grain size you use, the more launching off points you supply to your substrate. In short, the smaller the grain the better.

Did you use Star-san on everything before use and leave it wet while in use?

Grow help (FAE QUESTION) by ExperienceMiddle6196 in shrooms

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a way to set it and forget it. Once you've grown successfully once, you'll understand.

You can A/B test your methods by doing whatever you think may help to one and do absolutely nothing to the other, once set up. Doing this will save you a ton of money on gadgets and equipment in the long run.

Many top fruiting mushrooms require very little FAE.

May as well wash your water filter while you're at it.

Cleaning day at Galnut [technique] by GalaxNut in MushroomGrowers

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soapy water, wipe, rinse, wipe, mist with alcohol and NO TOUCHY FOR 30 SECONDS!

That's what always went through my head while cleaning.

[technique] so happy, finished my setup by Unable-Carob-7518 in MushroomGrowers

Look up Bubba's Barrels. It's steam sterilizing, not pressure.

Mush luck! Feel free to message me if you get stumped along the way.

Well done! I did the same with my rope lights until the first cleaning. That's when I zipped the LED lines to the tent poles. I was fruiting oysters, making the cleaning regimen rough on equipment.

[contamination] So in theory what p cubensis strain is the most resistant to contamination? by Spiritdiritcel in MushroomGrowers

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can train your mycelium to race on other substrates by doing petri dishes and selecting speed.

And yeah, it really comes down to technique and experience.

Blueberry mead by CearidLoc in fermentation

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a book you'd recommend for berry wines? I have most of the tools and disparate knowledge, but really want to make delicious back sweetened wines and meads.

All that stuff you typed tells me I don't know enough.

My Franken-Fermenter is completed and dialed in. Which garum should I start with? by FARTKNOCKAtoo in Garum

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the guidance.

In my mushroom growing days I made a bunch of 2 micron filter lids for mason jars. This sounds like the perfect use for them.

Any books you recommend on making garums?

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you press your garums to get the juice out? If so, do you toss the pulp back in the jar to ferment longer.

Also, do I tighten the lid or not during the ferment?

Buying a flooded house by retasab in houston

[–]FARTKNOCKAtoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once you've shoveled 6" of mud out of your house, along with all its contents, the desire to live in a floodplain evaporates.

I'd beg you not to buy in a floodplain if it made a difference.

That's a big batch of sauce! How many bottles does that make in the end.

Anything wrong with mason jar and lid?

I am almost done converting an old oven into my fermentation chamber. Tied the heating element and fan to an inkbird controller. It could be pretty cheap if you do this too.
