Pasteurization of Coco
We are following these instructions from the Shroomery in part 1 and part 2. Here we summarizing and just
changing the times and temperatures for our setup.
- Fill the small cooler with warm water about 10cm. Soak coco coir in water for one hour.
-
Grab handfuls of the coco and squeeze them until they are at field capacity. Fill the bag and tie it with a twist tie.
Put the meat thermometer on the inside.
- Place it in the pressure cooker with the rack at the bottom. Fill the pot with water until the bag is half submerged.
- Heat it until it reaches 140F.
-
Turn off the stove and wait for the internal temperature to reach 160 F. Keep it at that temperature or up to 170F for 1
hour. Do not pass 170F. If it falls too low, turn on the stove.
- Put the bag on the counter to cool overnight. Ready to spawn.
