Joy is meaningless if you can't share it.

Bro gathered the other two cakes last night.
One of the Teachers tipped the cake over...

...

I think he said that one alone was 22 gm wet.

We inoculated 18 jars at the same time. Because they were finishing up at different rates, we put them to bloom in three different batches, one week from batch to batch. The first batch we dunked all 6 cakes in one tub...and three ended up becoming contaminated in bloom. In the next batches we dunked each cake in it's own zip-lock, and we've not had any further contamination.

In the second batch, a Golden Teacher had a couple pins almost immediately that quickly grew massive, tipping the cake over like in the first batch...

After the 2nd dunk for the first batch, pinning is going pretty good...

The last batch was dunked & rolled this weekend. One of the cakes got a little impatient...

Things seem to be going pretty well.

We are doing a little experimenting with the blooming. The first two batches are being done in tubs with air pumps, and the 3rd batch is being done in a shotgun tub. I initially leaned toward the shotgun style, bro leaned toward the air pumps...so we decided to test how they compare.

Bro was also toying with the idea of doing a bed grow for the next crop. But I think he has settled on reducing the scale to meatloaf sized pan beds in the traditional bloom chamber.

I'm headed over after Thanksgiving to check in on everything...and then we're going to the lake house to do some testing.

about those ziplocks
did you flush them with something to sterilize before using to dunk as you did?

I am not sure...I will ask next time I talk to bro. I do know he was cleaning them after the dunk because he was complaining aboot bag failure due to the manipulation of the bag in trying to clean it.

Interested to learn your results Bob. Tried making tea for the 1st time the other day. Chopped up 2.5 gms (roughly) simmered in water for 15 minutes.
Added a tea bag for the last 5 minutes. Couldn't taste the schroomry.
Happy Turkey Day!
