    UPDATE: In this video we were pasteurizing for 12 hours. Not only is that not necessary, but it can overcook the substrate and render it useless. Now we only cook it for 4 hours and that works perfect.

    We unload onto rolling racks in the open air, and then wheel them into the lab. The bags have a hermetic seal coming out of the steam tank so they are able to stay clean enough, our contamination rate is still really low, like 5 out of 140 bags. Ideally we would unload them directly into the lab, but we are using what is available and the layout of the buildings that we have access to. I encourage you to use what you have and be resourceful! Good luck!

    Hi j155p! That is a GREAT question. First of all, pasteurizing substrate just smells like steamy wood and dirt really, nothing obtuse. I have a great relationship with the whole neighborhood, and I'm very grateful to have amazing neighbors who like having a mushroom farm on their street. However, I used to watch a channel (jewel's gardening? or jewel's mushroom farm or something?) and her mushroom farm was shut down because the neighbors at her commercial business park property did not like the smell of pasteurizing substrate. So, if you can make good with your neighbors and give them free mushrooms, you should have no problems :)

    Mold is common in the industry, it usually boils down to improper sterilization (not hot enough or long enough) or poor lab techniques / lack of sterile procedure Good luck!

    If you can find barrels that had any kind of juice in them, they won't rust because of a special coating (I guess for the acidic juice). Also, placing a wet towel on your rack (on the false bottom) will help keep your bags from burning or getting grill marks. You can also do the same all around the sides if they're getting burnt.
