Just finished up Thy Contamination of Doom...

Great summary all in one place, would have loved to hear feedback on time to soak bags before UP.

Like for instance pros and cons to hydrating pellets with cold water and letting sit for hour-ish then once the water relatively evenly absorbed loading into barrel/trough letting sit for 10 hrs and finally then proceeding to run the steam cycle. The goal being allowing more cold time for the hardwood cell walls (and various supplements) to take on even hydration/possibly germinate as many bacterial endospores as possible before running up to temp...

Wood technology textbooks frequently talk about the difficulty in re hydrating the wood cells once collapsed via kiln or other significant drying action as opposed to simply modifying the free water content present between those cells...

Im sure you could find some cons ?!

Meh good episode regardless !
