Is there anybody in Alberta that would be interested in splitting a box of syringe filters with me? I will buy the whole box but I dont need 50 of them.

Deathblade: If worse comes to worse order the batch and trade off
the extra's on the Marketplace for items you need. I know syringe filters
are usually a hot item and move fast.

Call as many feed stores and mills in your area as possible, someone
is likely to stock rye or hard wheat kernels for around $25-30 per 55lb
bag. This is a much better deal anyway, the bulk barn sells wheat kernels
for $1.09 per lb, when purchased in bulk you get them for around .49 cents
per lb.

Ya, I saw the price @ Bulk Barn, and thought, I am better off with Morning Song WBS... Much more cost effective

I personally like wheat kernels over WBS. I have yet to find a cheap,
clean WBS mix that does not include cracked corn. When I prepare lets
say 16 1L jars of WBS I spend a fair bit of time rinsing the dirt of
before the soak, and then a fair amount of time drying after the soak
and simmer.
With hard wheat I easily save 1-2 hours in prep time per run, it is
clean right out of the bag, only requires one rinse, is uniform, dries
quickly and evenly after the simmer, and is just all around easier to
work with IMO.
If I ever find cheap WBS that looks clean and does not include cracked
corn I will grab 200lbs, do not get me wrong, but until then I much
prefer sticking to wheat.

I have many moral issues with wal-fuck and have not shopped there in
over a year and a half, I appreciate the heads up but I prefer to support
local feed mills, suppliers, and companies

Hey man, if anyone can point me to wheat/rye kernels in the National Capital Region, I would be very happy. None of my Feed N Seeds carry it... Though I asked for Rye before, maybe I can call for Wheat Kernels?
I find the "Morning Song" from Scotts to be a good WBS with a very low cracked corn content. I also just fill the WBS tub with water, scoop the floaters, stir so the dirt gets in the water. Then I dump out the water.
The seed is clean enough at that point that I can do the Foo Man's WBS Prep Tek straight into the 5 gallon tub of rinsed seed.

Asking for wheat kernels will be your best bet. I had to call a LOT of
feed mills and suppliers before I found what I needed, it may take a
bit of work but is worth it in the end. Here are a few links that may
help you find a supplier:

If you find a whole foods near you they can order in bags of wheat and
rye kernels, although I think they are a bit more expensive.

Ive had sucess asking smaller bulk food places to order me rye kernels. I had to order min 50lbs but that can be easy to use up quickly. I spent quite some time on the phone before I was able to hunt down a place to get them.
