This Tek sound great, I'm going to give it a try as Rye berries seem to be almost impossible to find in Toronto these days.

I am working on this atm, and have just finished the boiling / hydrating of the kernels.  This is probably stupidly obvious to most, but keep in mind that they will swell up considerably with water uptake. I started with 2 - 2 lbs bags to do 4 - 1.5 cup jars, and it seemed like "just enough".. After hydrating I could probably do 8 jars easily :smile:

Just a note for those that don't think ahead like myself....

I am interested in trying this method, but I was wondering if it is possible using only a spore print with no syringe. I don't really want to get into using agar at this point, and the vendor I used only had prints and not syringes. I would be willing to risk some chance of contamination to avoid having to build a glove box and all that. The vendor mentioned something about using a Q-tip to transfer the spores directly to grain and I was just curious about exactly how I might go about that. Thanks!

Dude, make yourself a Still Air Box (SAB) it will cost you less than $10.00 at walmart for a clear storage tote and then you cut holes for your arms, cheap and simple and it ups your odd of getting good results many times over.
You could use a q-tip but you better make sure it is sterile or you are going to have problems.
Go to tractor supply and get yourself a syringe and a needle and make a spore syringe and so it right.
All this cutting corners is going to do is waste your time and money. Do it right or dont do it at all.

Bookmarked, easy to follow and nicely written up, also all the positive replies help. Hopefully I will be able to get my pressure cooker within the next couple of days so I can make a start on this. :laugh:

After straining, how long should the grains sit and be consolidated for?

Honestly great write up, really clean nice job. :laugh:

I've never even considered using Popcorn, I've had such success with WBS/Rye/Wheat that I didn't see it as necessary. The real advantage here is the short prep time, and how simple it is.You can literally have jars ready to inoculate in just a few hours, from start to finish. No soaking.

I'm impressed.

:magicfingers:




I decided to give it a try with two quart jars and they seemed to go a little slower than his and didnt really look like it was all that nice looking mycelium. One jar wouldnt finish colonizing so I decided to see how they smelled and they were fine. (I have to say that this was nocced up with the same LC that I had problems with on all of the WBS jars that I did in the same run)
I spawned them to coir/verm/gypsum and my tub is looking amazing after only 6 days.
I think I just over boiled some WBS so I may be doing popcorn today instead of WBS
I am pleased with its results so far.

I do like this tek and popcorn too. I did find that it does take much longer than 15 minutes of boiling to properly cook the corn but other than that, I am liking this. I do like the picture showing the cross section of the grains to show when its ready. That is very helpful.:thumbup:
I just bought 26 pounds of popcorn last week. You should have seen the ladies face at wal mart when I went thru the line with all of that popcorn and a case of quart jars:lol:
