Anyone just put grain into bags with water and sterilize for 3 hours
    #12471150 - 04/28/10 11:51 AM (14 years, 24 days ago)

Well, I'm want to keep this mushroom cultivation up and eventually have the ability to sit at the farmers market with some medicinal fungi and some edibles.

I predominately use grain (wheat) in bags, but I am finding the process of letting grains soak for 12-24 hours then washing them, and putting in bags difficult with the tools I have.

I currently use small buckets, 3 gallons then dump the grain to wash in a colander and put it back in the bucket for a second rinse. It makes  a mess in this process, with bits of grain going all over the place.

Any recommendations?

I dont rinse my grain ever. It goes, pour from bag into big pots, fill with water and a bit of gypsum for 24 hours. Put pots on stove, simmer, drain. I now use two of these strainers in the bathtub. Attach metal screen to PVC with zip ties. Fill into jars or bags and PC.

I actually never simmer my WBS lol.  I always just soak for 24-36 hours then drain over the sink with a window screen and while they are draining I usually rinse them off with warm water till the water runs clean.  Then let them sit for 30-60 minutes till dry enough the PC.

I like your strainer :thumbup: +5 for sharing simple and effective design.
