This is incorrect, though.  Endospore-forming bacteria only form one endospore apiece, and they do it when the situation gets rough in terms of temperature, food or water availability, or toxins.  It's not like they just hose down the area with spores like trichoderma does. 

Not that I think it's particularly relevant to this discussion, since I agree that pressure cooking long and hard enough will kill any life, but I think that part of his argument is flawed.

well thanks for all the responses guys but theres no need to argue about simmering lol we can agree to disagree. some people simmer and have favorable results while others dont and still get the same results. whatever works for you is great! i might actually choose not to simmer this go around since someone mentioned that could be whats caused all my bursted seeds.

If you bring it to a boil and dump immediately you will minimize bursting.  This is according to frank's tek.  You never want to simmer bird seed for a long time.  By the time it comes to a boil it is fully hydrated.

if i bring it to a boil, im assuming i should not be mixing the birdseed? whenever i stir it up it takes several more minutes just to start to see bubbles coming up again

you should stir especially if using gypsum, since it settles to bottom of pot and can scorch/burn. but as soon as it hits rolling boil dump into strainer and steam dry

why not rinse before the soak, and what is the hair dryer for?

i dont rinse before i soak because i'm usually in a rush so i just wait till after the wbs is hydrated, the hair dryer speeds up the process of drying because the strainers i use are small so it takes forever for it to dry evenly

gypsum doesnt cause trich.  seems like a lot of time to hair dry grains when you can boil them dump in strainer and walk away while they steam dry.

to each his own :smile:

another question for you guys lol it might be dumb but im trying to eliminate any possible problems! i added the gypsum before i let the grains soak, so the gypsum also soaks for the 24 hrs. is this correct? or should i just add the gypsum when i start to bring it to a simmer/boil? and on top of that, am i supposed to add gypsum AGAIN when making my coir/verm substrate? or is adding the gypsum at either of the two steps enough?
