Adjusting PF method.
    #14493750 - 05/22/11 12:08 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I am trying to make grain spawn with the PF method.
But due to availability problems I am using wheat.
I realize that if I use a different critter I will get
different results.

The video says to use 1 cup per quart jar.
I soaked and boiled 10 cups of wheat and got
less than 5 quarts. OK, live and learn LOL

But now I am thinking how about the gypsum concentration?
The one tablespoon full was for 10 cups of rye. I did 5
cups of wheat.

Questions.

1. Are my 5 quarts any good?
(They are pressure canning now.

2. What should I do on my next batch?
I need to make 9 quarts at a time.
(10 wide mouths won't fit in my canner)

Thanks very much in advance for any help
anyone could give a green horn :smile:

Which is it, u did 5 or 10 cups of wheat.
You don't want to fill ur qrt's al the way up, u'll never be able to break the myc up.
Not sure if the gypsum was a question.
Now that you know what it takes to fill a qrt you can devide it up and add more if needed to do 9.

Sorry.

I use 10 cups of dry wheat.
That made 5 quarts that were 1/2 full.

I need 9 quarts, this I can figure out.

The problem is I am supposed to use 1
table spoon of gypsum per 10 dry cups of
rye. So since the rye expands twice as much
as wheat does, I don't know how much gypsum to
use.

Thanks

Thanks

I beleive the gypsum is used for the amount of final qrts, so you should be good.
I don't measure mine I just toss in some.
When I add the grains to bulk I toss in about a 1/4 qrt of gypsum for 10-12 qrts of grain.
When soaking, i just toss some in.
When transfering to jars, a pinch in each jar.
