H-poo pasteurization question when using spawn bags

Rooster · 07-28-09, 12:47

I'm going to be using h-poo with 20% verm as my bulk sub. The h-poo was completely dry so I broke it all down to pretty much straw again. Now, to pasteurize it do I need to go the pillow case and cook on the stove route(to leach it a lil bit)? Then stick in bags after that? Or can I hydrate the sub to the proper amount, stick it into the spawn bags, and pasteurize it in the PC like that? I will then knock up the bags with liquid myc.

Inever leach just a good lime pasturization @ 165 for 90 mins

Thats what I was thinking. Then all of the good nutrients are still around for food and not washed away. How much lime do you use? Or whats a lime pasteurization?

Well its a heat pasturization, @ 165' get your straw/poo mix in a pillowcase I usually add about a 1/4 of 1 of those 1/2 pt jars of lime a good 1/4 dont be stingey and get yourself a candy thermometer and put a little water in the pot add lime swirl so it mixes well the add your pillowcase then fill with water. about 90 mins @ 165

If at all possible I would like to skip the pillow case method and pasteurize straight in the spawn bags. Then I wouldnt have to transfer things to another bag risking contams.

I have NEVER used spawn bags. someone will chime in who knows much more than I
where are you "Hippie"?

the best way to pastuerize is inside burlap bags with a wagner 705 wallpaper steamer.

You just put your manure/verm mix in the burlap bag, hose it down realy good, then put the bag in a vessel that has the hose from the steamer inserted into it.

This is my new favorite method and I don't think I'll ever bother to try anything else unless I need more pasteurized poo than an oven can handle, which I doubt will ever happen. Good luck!

Would there be any way I could put my h-poo/verm into the spawn bags and then heat them in the oven at 160 for 2 hours?

I would say yes if they are designed to put up with the heat. You could even just go get some GLAD oven bags for pasteurization. Much cheaper and you can keep the spawn bags for later uses if they have filter patches etc....
