How much of a problem is blow drying a large batch of grain in the area you work in?

I would imagine I'm blowing around all kinds of airborn contaminants. Probably not a significant amount of spores as they should have all germinated, that's why we soak our grain, but lots of living pathogens I'm sure, no? I always leave the doors and windows open afterwards to let it air out, and everything is kept relatively clean. I haven't noticed it creating contaminants, but I have had contamination issues (I believe due to a lack of GE and/or too much water in those cases). Is it safe to assume after a few days everythings mostly died or left the house and it's likely at a normal level?

It won't matter at all. And you're raising your sporeload a lot more by "airing the place out" than you could possibly do by drying grain. Not that it matters.

How do you figure I'm increasing the spore load? I figure more [clean] air flow would only serve to decrease existing contaminants and blow out existing spores. I could see it making a lot more spores airborne, but no increasing the no. in the house.

What makes you think outside air is clean?

If you are opening doors and windows then you are letting pollen, spores, etc. in your house. They say after a fresh rain outside is the best for spore counts/is as sterile as it gets outside. Also, if you have a draft then I would THINK that spore count is elevated by default, because anything airborne will remain airborne and anything that settled will now be kicked up and elevate the spore count.

I figured per volume (ignore say above 20ft above the ground outside as it'd throw the ratio off a lot) there are less spores/contaminants in outside air than inside assuming the same amount of turbulance. I could be wrong, but this is just what intuition tells me based on what I know. People staying indoors during the cold has a lot to do with high occurences of illness during the winter months for exampls, why would this trend be any different for non human infecting pathogens?

you are going to pressure cook the grains right? soaking and boiling didnt kill much, they are already contaminated. Thats why you pc them.

Yeah, of course. I'm just wonering if I go and spawn some grain to a monotub tomorrow in that room if it's going to be a bad idea or if I should wait/do it somewhere else. I've done it plenty of times before, but like I said I've had contamination issues just no reason to suspect this, I'm more curious than anything.
