Bulk no jars?

Looking for a tek that allows for bulk the grain and does not require doing individual jars, my PC can only do 3 one quart jars at a time and due to space constraints I can't get another PC in the kitchen. Been doing B+ in mono tubs with okay success, but I am trying to find a way to make a giant batch of grain to knock up all at once to put in my rather late tubs. Any suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated

Do one, and whilst it's colonizing, make a few more, then transfer some of the colonized grain into the other jars.

You could get spawn bags which would allow you to fit more grain at once into your PC. Or like yamoonsun said make a master jar and while you wait for it to colonize make 12 more quarts of grain. Then just g2g from the master jar. Then you can pick one of those to make a master and g2g that into 12 more and so on...

He said he couldn't due to space constraints.

I have a very small kitchen to work in, the one I have barely fits in my stove. I have been doing the G2G thing, but to allow time for cooling of the jars before I can handle them takes basically a day. That constricts me to 3 jars a day, 6 if I have nothing else going on.

Yes three jars a day adds up, sadly I can't devote time to boiling the grain and then PCIng it daily, trying to find the most effective way to get one giant batch of spawn to use in multiple large mono tubs at once

without a bigger pc you're just looking at more time babysitting the stove
that simple strainer costing ~$2 strains 40lbs at a time
that's like 40 jars
like enough for 6 monotubs
and in two pc cycles
-------------------- But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try and another to fly You get there quicker just a step at a time It's one thing to bark, another to bite The show ain't over till you pack up at night

no, don't do that. not sure what the dude is talking about, hopefully he will clarify.
why not just use smaller monos? or put trays in the mono, each tray getting 1.5 qts spawn each.

You're looking to make 2+2 = 5. You can't do a large batch in a 3 Qt PC, obviously. If your stove is truly so tiny you can't fit a 23 Qt PC on it, then that's no good either.
3 Qts a day do not add up quickly.
You could buy a hotplate, and a bigger PC. Spawn bags are great for large batches, however 1 Qt jars work well, too.
