First time with Rye Berries, What went wrong here?
    #18813103 - 09/07/13 09:33 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So I was following one of the techs here below
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=2&Number=12968927&fpart=&PHPSESSID=

Perhaps this is just a bad tek, not sure. I do plan on just using the basic soak tek that RR demonstrates in his videos next time but I'm wondering what might have gone wrong.

Basically all I did was rinse my grain with hot water. Added 3 inches of water above the grain and boiled. As soon as the water started to boil a little I started the timer for 15 mins. When the timer went off I turned the stove off and left the grain to sit with the lid on. I was using a metal crock pot, not my pressure cooker but it's essentially the same thing so I'm not sure it made a difference.

What I ended up with was a pot full of inflated grain many of which were busted and all the remaining grain was very soft. I could mush the grain in between my fingers with little force. I didn't even bother with the rest of the steps because I already knew the grain would probably turn into paste in the PC.

Has anyone else tried doing a one day grain prep? I would like to utilize this at some point, but shame on me for not sticking to the basics on my first go around with Rye.

Thanks in advance for taking a look. Picking up some more rye tomorrow I'll give it a proper go the legit way.

After 2 hours remove the lid and bring to a boil again stirring constantly.  Boil for 5 minutes then place the unweighted cover back on and let sit another hour.
  When the hour is up bring to a boil once again.  Boil for five minutes and test your grain by squeezing a couple,  they should pop like a zit.  If they are still hard and don't pop boil five more minutes.





did you miss this part in the directions?

I don't do rye berries but when I do RGS or WBS I measure the substrate into a bucket. then a boil the water, dump the boiling water in the bucket,let sit for a couple hours (3-24). then dump in the strainer,rinse, let strain for a couple hours then load up and pc. works like a charm everytime.:thumbup:

If you scroll down on that Tek you linked every one is arguing with the original poster about how if you PC grains they will expand. Safe to say its a bad tek.

  I did it with popcorn once, never worked out correctly.

Nah, after the two hours I opened the lid up to check and that's when I saw that the grain had been over saturated. I didn't bother bringing it to a boil for another 5 minutes or anything, it was already ruined.
