I just soak the WBS in the hottest tap water that comes out the faucet... after about 4-6 hours I'll strain it and repeat the hot water soak once more for another 4+ hours...(repeat as many times as desired)

after the final soak, while straining(the now cold water), I wash the grain with hot water once more to help steam-dry the outside of grain for jar/bag prep. before the PC step. (this helps with the excess moisture some people encounter)

this is just how I do it, I'm not trying to convince anyone that this method is faster or better... it just fits my schedule better to maintain this process... and I like the results :smile2:

I agree that the longer the soak, the more burst grains you will encounter after PC'ing... But I have also not had any problems with colonizing burst grains either :shrug:




yeah.. and that is cool.. that is what works for YOU.. because, there are soooooooooo many different prep teks for all this shit, you just kinda gotta find that one that works for you.. i mean, thats just the name of the game..

When I prepare rye, I soak for 12 hours, boil for 10 minutes then drain for an hour.

so besides the soak, they will be inside the PC within 1 hour 30min if I'm moving slowly.

not to mention that I just pour it out into a colander and walk away to come back to perfect grains. 


awful is not knowing how your grains will turnout, so you have to fuck with it until its good to go, and spending time fixing it.  With enough tlc, I could make wholegrain brown rice a good spawn material.

what if you don't soak as long and load slightly wet.. won't it just go right back into the grain?

I never put water in my jars, only leads to mushy spawn after PC

hahahahaha.. whole brown rice will do nothing but stick together, and you wont be able to shake it loose..

i know exactly how my grains turn out.. simmering should really only be used when FRUITING off of it.. They do NOT need the moisture provided by simmering for use as spawn.. period.. as you can see, my jars will be done very soon, all from the grain prep without simmering.. and I know it comes out perfect everytime.. you are honestly making it out to be a lot harder than it seems.. especially if you are simmering moisture into grains that arent going to be used as a fruiting substrate..

those jars you see in the pics only took about 6 hours, from start to PC, and came out absolutely great, and are colonizing fast.. half the time it took you to even just soak..

if you cut corners, you will run into problems.. try a couple of different teks, and see what works for you, but FooMans is my personal tek of choice, and hasnt failed me in a few years.. actually, has never failed me since i tried it..

^^^^ this right here is exactly what people run into when they start simmering, just for grain spawn.. they have to fuck with simmer times to make sure they have no burst grain..

no simmer, no burst grain.. your thoughts about having to fuck with something as dreadfully simple as foomans tek, is just, idunno, crazy.. haha.. few steps, fewer time consumed, easy grain spawn.. it really doesnt get too much easier than that..

that made no sense.. essentially, it looks like you are saying that if you DO put water in your jars, it will lead to mushroom spawn..

that is what you want, right? spawn?

and no.. never add water to the jars.. if you prepped the grain right, it will have the perfect moisture content

I put the (rye) grain in a big Pot fill it with water (2-3 inches more water than grain),
add some cups of strong brewed coffee and a teaspoon of gypsum, bring it to boil and turn off the heat.
I frequently check the grain if i can cut a kernel in half with my thumbnail between my thumb and the pointing finger.
If i can easily cut it in half, it is at the right moisture.
You will notice that there is still a little white kernel that is not soaked.
Then i rinse it well, in a big colander, and let it dry until it is looking no more shiny.
>PC for 90 minutes.

Sorry for my bad English.
This fucking speech barrier is killing me.

Oh well, i just skipp that "steaming the excess" before boiling.
I steam after boiling to get rid of the starch.
I guess, i it is the tek RR explained before, somewhere.
It is working rally great with rye.

you can steam off the excess.. no prob.. the order i did it in before i learned foomans tek was to soak, rinse, simmer, strain, PC.. which was cool, because it helped straining, because of evaporation from the steam..

but, i stopped using that method, simply because i never fruit off of the WBS, and just use it for spawn..
