Millet prep
    #17445301 -

Can anyone tell me if this sounds right for a millet/WBS tek

Rinse removed floaters (a shit load) and chaff (barely any)
Soak in warm water and gypsum for about 24 hours (too long?)
Rinse of (no boil)
Dry on newspaper
Load up jars and PC

Sound good? Dont think it should give me too much trouble cause its very clean and didnt need much rinsing. Dont really know whether I should have chucked the floaters it seemed like such a waste, but they were annoying!

Main thing really is is it best to simmer the millet for a while? Do I not need to steam dry them in the same way I would with rye? I've seen lots of people saying they dont boil or simmer WBS with good results?

Thanks

Always easier to boil and steam dry. Helps with hydration and drying on a towel is a nuecence  The floaters are fine too although they are lower in nutrient content. Mostly lignin.  As a general rule you should cook all grains including wbs. It just makes sence. But there are a hundred different ways to correctly do it.  90 minutes is fine on pc time 120 is overkill assuming your cooking quarts

I always dry on a towel. I think drying in the colander is a nuisance. It takes a lot longer and is a lot more involved (having to sit there and shake the colander) rather than just draining it fairly well and tossing it on a towel till it's room temp. To each his own, though. Just sharing my opinion on it.

Agreed. Simmer them till they pop.

Agreed. 90 minutes for jars, 120 for bags. Anything more and you're wasting time.

I strain and dump on a tarp to steam dry. A colander would not work for me as I am cooking 15 pounds of grain at a time. The problem I saw with the towel was that he was not cooking the grain first  then trying to dry it on a towel. Like you I prefer to let it steam dry but I guess I would need a really big towel. Tarp is better for me

Haha, fair enough. I assumed you were just talking about drying it like RR does in the videos. And yeah, if you don't boil to get some steam, it's gonna take forever and a day to dry no matter what you do.

Millet is my favorite substrate.

If I could get it as cheap as I used to get it...
I'd still be using it.

Soak the Millet for 36 hours in a 5 gallon bucket...
then rinse the Millet out really good til you get all the dirty water out of the bucket.

then strain the Millet really good to get the excess water off of it...
I use a large window screen.

then load your jars up and pressure cook.



Colonized Millet has more inoculation points to spawn with than any other substrate.
