so, I'm about to prep some jars. It's 1:30 am.
I was just wondering if I could prep them tonight, and PC them tomorrow night....
I don't see why I couldn't...I just can't find that info anywhere and I figured I would ask all you pros first.
THANKS!

you should soak for 24 hours, so you can PC tomorrow
or if you already have soaked then you can load in jars and put in fridge til you PC tomorrow.

I agree with Biologys. Soaked grains are safe overnight in the fridge. Make sure you PC them as soon as possible tomorrow.
Just a random thought, but with so many things with timers, isn't it weird that stove tops don't have timers? Mine lets you set an alarm but it won't shut itself off. That'd make PC'ing soooo much easier.

THANK YOU btw! wouldn't have thought to put them in the fridge.
UMMM what about outside??? it's about 40 F...79% humidity...would they be safe out there in those conditions?

Probably would be ok outside as long as the temperature will still be 40 when you wake up and won't freeze overnight. The idea about refrigeration is because it stalls (or slows) bacterial and endospore growth.
I dumbassed once and left jars in the fridge for 1-2 weeks, stuffed in the back behind all the food. When I pulled them out they were a freakshow of molds, roots and seedlings. Needless to say I did PC them then before emptying them out and starting over.

ok....I just put all the WBS in a huge tupperware container and threw it in the ol' frigidaire. I got like 7 jars in and gave up. I'm exhausted.
Thanks for all your help homies! mucho appreciated.
