hi there,
i’m playin around with lc. with a sterile environ, contamination it’s not a big problem… moreover if you opt for low nutrients cultures it makes it even better…
anyway i found the biggest problem in inoculate a substrate. the liquid is obviously staying in the lowest part of your bag and there is the contamination problem really arise! i’m trying to figure out how to drain the excess liquid out of it.
i really believe that lc tek could save you a lot of time if work properly. moreover you will have your inoculum more evenly distributed, and hence make the incubation time shorter.
have anybody tried to soak the straw in lc during the pasteurization? do the mycelium survive to the soap?
