How to use the BRF kit? (Easy 6-step Guide)
Step 1. Clean the injection port
Put on the included nitrile gloves. Thoroughly wipe the red silicone injection port with the included alcohol and chlorhexidine prep pads.
Step 2. Inoculate your BRF jars
Twist the included sterile needle onto your mushroom spore syringe or liquid culture. Next, inject the needle through the red silicone injection port and squirt roughly 2mL (total) of fluid into multiple parts of the jar.
Step 3. Cake Colonisation
Wait roughly 4-8 weeks until the white mycelium colonises the entire jar.
Step 4. Birthing the Cake
Remove the colonised cakes from the glass jar. Then submerge the cakes in a bowl of water for 10 hours (or overnight).
Step 5. Cake to Fruiting Chamber
Cover the bottom of a plastic container with perlite roughly 2cm thick (perlite retains moisture). Transfer each cake onto the provided foil pieces, separately and spaced out. Close the lid.
Step 6. Fruiting Time!
Fan 3-5 times daily to circulate air flow. Spray frequently with water bottle (to simulate rainfall & maintain humidity). Optimal growing conditions are 90-100% humidity & 25-30C. Mushroom fruiting can take 1-4 weeks.
TIP: Flush to get more fruits!
To achieve multiple harvests, simply repeat Step 4 "Birthing The Cake" to rehydrate and restart the fruiting process. Submerge cakes for 10 hours to fruit up to 1-3 times.
