Pressure cooking later

skam8 · 05-12-09, 15:58

I have some free time tonight and I was wondering if I could make my brf/vermiculite/water mix, put them in the jar with the dry verm layer, close them but only pressure cook them like 3 days from now? Or the will just dry and I will have to start over?

interesting question. I am a newbie, But I have read in the past that sterilization keeps the medium inside sterilized for up to three weeks. I am guessing that depends on how well your jars are sealed off from contaminates entering.

There are also places that sell pre-steralized jars. they seem to ship them in plastic of some sorts, so I guess the question of sterilization for later use is that it is possible. I am not sure if they are vacuum sealed in the plastic of not.

The above comment is just my assumptions, because I have also been wondering if the jars you want to make can not be all steralised at once, can they be steralised in batches, accounting for cooling time also..

sorry I couldnt answer your question by experience.

If you mix up the ingredients and then let them sit for 3 days, the mix will start to ferment. I wouldn't recommend it; just mix it when you're ready to cook.

Don't do it! You may be able to get away with it but if it's not 100% necessary dont even think about it!
