No-Boil grain spawn
    #18648833 - 08/02/13 11:06 AM (10 years, 7 months ago)

I am always in the mood to try things which will cut down on my time tables, and grain spawn has been one that I wanted to shorten up considerably. It is a lot of work to wash, soak, boil, fill jars, and then sterilize and takes over a full day.

I have done a few test runs and I think I am successful in this endeavor to create usable grain spawn in just over two hours (plus cooling time).

I fill quart size jars with sorghum grain up to the 200 mL mark, wash with water a few times over, and then water again to the top of the grain. I put this in my pressure cooker for two hours. Upon checking my grain this morning, it LOOKS like everything worked well. the grains are well hydrated and about half the testa have bursted. It is a little caked up on the bottom (like one grain kernel layer) but nothing too severe and once it cools I am sure i can knock the grains loose.

Has anybody tried something similar to this and if so, what were the results?

I am using a. 8qt maxi-matic elite sold on QVC. It plugs in to the wall and regulates temp and pressure entirely on its own. I believe this one pressurizes to 12 psi.

i used a tek like this once... it didn't contaminate, but was a complete bitch to shake the grains... break 'em up hot, use a towel to hold 'em if you must...

works for me! thanks

I put the jars in my incubator to see if anything grows that isnt supposed to. I have about 4-10 days (depending on which plate I cut up) until my agar cultures are grown enough to transfer. I guess we will see.

I've found boiling and steaming off my rye grains makes for dry jars.
I don't even rinse, I go straight out of the bag into a 24 hr soak, into strainer for an hour, load jars and pc for 90 mins.
Keep it stupid simple...doesn't have to be hard.
