Grain comparison: Pricing, weight, and iso testing
    #18808151 - 09/06/13 04:43 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So I decided to try and get a grasp on which grain was cheapest, as far as how dense it is, how much space it takes up when hydrated, and also i'll be testing each individual grain with an isolate :thumbup:

So for the first part, each grain got weighed. I took the weight of grain in the size of 1 cup

Rye: 176 grams (127 cups/~32 qrt jars per 50lbs)
RGS: 104 grams (215 cups/~54 qrt jars per 50lbs)
WBS: 183 grams (122 cups/~30 qrt jars per 50lbs)

** Note: when I say qrt jars, I mean qrt jars filled all the way. Obviously you dont want this when doing grain **


Next, I hydrated each of them. I did 1 batch of WBS with floaters removed and 1 batch with no floaters removed.



1st is WBS (floaters removed), 2nd is WBS (floaters left in), 3rd is Rye, 4th is RGS (still have some hydration that will happen once pc'd, although I doubt it will be significant enough to take another picture of and compare)

I'll update after I inoculate the jars

Will do. I really don't expect there to be much difference besides rgs being faster due to more inoculation points.

This was mainly to show what's up with grain and grain pricing. As it seems, wbs is the best bet, but only when you leave floaters. Rye is good, but most people can't get it super cheap like wbs. I like rgs because of how fast it colonizes. Its $35 for 50lbs where I live, but that $35 grows multiple pounds of mushies so grain pricing isn't really a factor when growing that much :shrug:

Then again, every dollar counts...
