Hows my Rye look? *PICS*
    #12572803 - 05/16/10 12:23 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

This is my second attempt with rye.  The first time I forgot to flame sterilize the needle between jars and I lost all of them, the moisture content was also a little to high.  I let the grains steam dry all the way this time but now I feel like they might be a bit to dry.  What do you guys think?

I don't know. LOOKS okay to me.

But you know what they say about looks.

If you want to check the moisture content of your grains it is simple. Take some leftovers from after you pack them into jars. Weigh out 100g on a scale. Then put this into a clean tray and put it into the oven or whatnot in order to dehydrate them. I cannot remember recommended temps or length of time but basically cook the water out with heat. Then when they are dry you can measure the weight to get the % of dry matter and the inverse of that would be the % moisture content. I read Stamets say that 50% is optimal give or take 5%.

Oh and nobody will be able to tell you if you have 60% or 30% moisture content from your pics, you'll just have to wing it or sacrifice a jar to test it.
