Hi all! I was wondering if here is any risk of contamination in having the incubation bags in the same room as a home scale beer fermenter. They both need a similar temperature so it might be handy to keep them together!

Thank you!!

Hi Judit,

I think that as long as the grow bags are sealed and have a filter patch on them, they should be fine to incubate in the same space as your brewing. Would make good use of the warm temperatures as you say!

Probably worth doing the inoculating in a separate space if possible, where you can wipe down the worktops just before mixing.

Best wishes,

Adam

brewing produces co2, so you can use that to your advantage or be aware of it for fruiting time…. co2 gathers from the ground up so if you find you might be having problems with it perhaps some ground level vents might be in order.

great point Cully! high CO2 levels are beneficial during incubation where it will speed up colonisation times. As you suggest though – it would be less welcome during fruiting when you want low CO2 levels.
