5 Cups organic rye berries is this right???

I used 5 cups of organic rye berries from my local health food store soaked them for 24 hours gave them a good 5 rinses and then simmered for around 15 mins... From RR's videos it says a cup per quart jar but my 5 cups only gave me enough to fill 4 quart jars 3/4 of the way full...
Is this normal or did I do something wrong? How long should I PC these things?

It's 'cause you want extra room to shake up the jars.

take 1/4 of whats in each of the 4 jars out, and put that into another jar. voila, 5 half full jars of rye.

Lol I know why you don't fill it up.
I'm just wanting to make sure that my water content wasn't messed up or something with the rye...

i just did a bunch of quart jars doing everything RRs videos said to the T. full boil for 10 minutes. then PC at 15 psi for 60 minutes. the video says 90, but i figured thats a bit of overkill.

As did I... but for some reason 1 cup of original dry rye berries did not end up being enough to fill 1 quart jar like it should according to RR's videos...

watch the video. just let the water evaporate off. it doesnt take too long, just keep movin the rye around with a spoon or something, and itll get to a point where its fairly dry. sticky but not slimy enough that it leaves much behind.
get a piece of TP and put some rye on there for 15 seconds. dump off. if the TP is wet, the berries arent ready to put in the jars yet.

i kinda figured this would happen. i just rinsed the rye berries in a pot until the water was clear, then dumped it all into a 5 gallon bucket and filled with water to let soak. i didnt measure anything out. i had so many jars to prep that i didnt care if i went over. i just used a large amount and worked off that filling jars.

That is nice to know bio. How was your moisture content ???
I ask because I am almost out of rye berries & I have a bunch of WBS. I like to do increments of 10 jars at a time with no waste so 20 cups should equal 10 jars.

yeah i was going for 14 jars, cause both my PC's hold 7 each, and i was planning on running both at the same time, but now thats a no go..
moisture came out perfect like always
I just thought that it would turn out to be close to the same ratio as rye berries, but guess not haha

I always put about 1.25 cups of dry rye per jar. I find that once the rye is hydrated it makes the jars about 3/4 full. Filling them with a little extra rye is nice because you get 25% more spawn per jar, but they can be a bitch to shake if you let them colonize to long. I recommend shaking immediately after inoculating with LC due to the fast growth.
I find that using very short, sharp shaking motions breaks the myc/rye up easiest -no bike tires, phone books, headaches, etc.
