I use it constantly. Great tool.

Make darn sure you air up the bike tire to around 50 to 60 psi before using each time. If the tire is soft, the jar will compress it right to the rim, and shatter your jar, which makes a horrible mess of your colonized grains all over the floor. I'm sure you guys who use bike tires have already learned this the hard way, but for the new growers, be advised. Keep a tire pump right next to the tire, because they'll lose pressure after a few days. RR

Thats a damn good point!
Nothing worse than a lovely colinised grain all over the floor and ruined.
If my mate ever gets his pressure cooker i will be trying wbs soon. Id go with rye but we dont need it in large amounts, a small bag of WBS will probably last us a few months and its pretty cheap.

Maybe you can,I was paying like a buck a lb at the helth food store for rye when I was growing cubes,since I came out of "Retirement" and got these edible cultures I found a place that sells 55 lb bags for 20 something dollars.Google "Feed store..In,your state" and you just may find a place like I did,as I said its a bit of a cruise but if you stock up it could be well worth the drive.Its a hell of allot closer than I ever seen a livestock animal that would eat such a thing

After hitting at least a few hundred jars against the part of my leg right above my knee, I don't even feel it anymore. lol I'm pretty sure those nerve endings are shot for life. Probably better off with the bike tire. But I'm sure it's going to come in hardy for fending off the zombies.
