(WBR) Swwerts Whole Brown Rice Cakes Pictorial 3

Lately, quite a few people have asked me how to hydrate Whole Brown Rice (WBR) to use as spawn/cakes. After experimenting and getting good results, I will show how I prepare WBR and use it as spawn, with fast and aggressive results.
I'm NOT claiming to be the first one to do this, but I have had great success so I'm posting my methods, so please don't flame.
You will need the following:
- Pressure Cooker - Whole Brown Rice - Jars with a fliter (polyfil, tyvek, etc) - Pot - Water - Foil (not pictured) - LC or MS syringe
STEP 1: Measure out the amount of rice you need. Rice doubles in size when cooked, so for this TEK we will use 1 cup of DRY WBR, which will give us around 2 cups when cooked.
STEP 2: You will need DOUBLE the water of DRY WBR. We are using 1 cup of DRY WBR, so we will use 2 cups of water.
STEP 3: Put both water and WBR in a pot and set the stove to medium. My stove goes from 1-10, I set it at 4. I set my timer for 30 minutes. Time may vary by a few minutes depending on the amount you use.
Put the lid on and walk away.
STEP 4: Come back after 20 minutes and take the lid off so the remaining water evaporates.
After the 10 minutes are up, there should be VERY little water on the bottom on the pot, but the WBR should NOT stick to the pot.
STEP 5: Rinse the WBR for about 2-3 minutes. This will rinse out the starch, which will make the rice not as sticky and "gooey".
STEP 6: Let the WBR drain for about 30-45 minutes. This is a VERY crucial step. MAKE SURE it is well drained before loading up your jars.
STEP 7: "Fluff" up the WBR with a fork.
STEP 8: Load the WBR into the jars and cover it with foil. Make sure not to pack the WBR when you are loading in.
STEP 9: Load up your pressure cooker and set it for 75 minutes.
This is how your jars should look after pressure cooking. (not too wet)
STEP 10: After the jars have COMPLETELY cooled, inoculate with either your LC or MS syringe.
Here is a jar at 100% 10 days after inoculation with Golden Teacher Liquid Culture
And you can EASILY crumble these to use as spawn. They will break up to about 2-3 grains.
And here is a tray which I used 1 crumbled "cake" spawned to coir/verm at a 2:1 after 8 days
And WBR cake:

** NO SHAKING IS NECESSARY, IT WILL COLONIZE VERY FAST WITHOUT HAVING TO SHAKE IT** And there you have it folks! I hope this was helpful and informative.

I dont shake, they colonize fast enough without shaking.

I'm saying, you could use ANY of those.. I only use polyfil

Definitely update with some pictures to let us know how that tray does! Also, since stoves, measurements and brands of rice could create different outcomes for others trying this, how cooked would you say the rice gets? Obviously not sticky but would you bite through it like el dente pasta?

yup, a rice cooker would work! Make sure to rinse the starch off after though, thats an important step
