The pouch also contains 2 small packets. These packets contain preservatives for the fungus and are to be discarded when the pouch is opened. Do not place them in the mixing water. At the time of use, the pouch should be opened, the packets discarded and the powder added to a small amount of water, about a few cups. This material should be mixed-well, and when the material is largely in suspension, the volume should be made up to one half gallon with additional water.
Tap water is fine.
After additional mixing, the product is ready for use. The fungus in Bio-Blast is a living organism. Therefore, unopened pouches of Bio-Blast should be kept at room temperature or cooler. Freezing however is not recommended. High temperatures can be tolerated for brief periods of time.
