The manure is ran through a power shredder before being batch mixed with the other ingredients. Each batch is hydrated to field capacity before pasteurizing. Our substrate is ready to use out of the bag, just open and mix with your dung loving spawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe substrate has a mild manure smell when you first open and add your spawn to it. It will dissipate after a few days of colonization. \u003cbr\u003eDuring packaging and pasteurization, the substrate gets compressed. It will likely be a very dense block of media upon arrival, so we recommend breaking it apart and fluffing it up a bit before adding your spawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 pounds of substrate will fill one 32 quart monotub paired with 1.5 to 3 pounds or 2-3 quarts of grain spawn. For a 66 quart tub shoot for 10 pounds of substrate. However, our favorite way to grow is to divide one 3 pound grain bag between three 3 pound substrate bags (1 pound of colonized grain to 3 pounds of substrate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShelf life is 4-6 weeks at room temperature, or 3 months in the fridge. \u003c\/b\u003eWe keep a control bag from every batch to ensure proper pasteurization was attained and the substrate falls within quality control standards. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: When shipping bags it's always a good idea to let your sterilized bags sit for 1-2 weeks before use.\u003c\/strong\u003e This will expose any issues that may have occurred during shipping and prevent wasted spore or culture syringes.
