You get rye for less than 35 cents a pound?
Home Depot - $0.35 a pound.

A 20 lb bag of WBS at wallyworld was $19.99 56 lbs of rye costs me $18. Two years ago it was $12 for the same 56 lb bag. It is 15 min. up the road to pick it up.
I know prices vary per location, but are you sure that's right? Near me a 20# WW wbs is 9$ and a 40# bag is about 17. Never used Rye, but I'm pretty sure I'd prefer it if I could get it if only for the consistency. It seems like every bag is aways different with wbs and especially depending upon how much corn is in it you really have to be careful with your simmering/boiling or it will very quickly turn into a sticky mess.

I remove them because it seems like they would crack open at some point. If the inside is not colonized, then it's a possible contam vector if it cracks open while spawning. Unless of course this is just another myth.
They are super easy to scoop out because they float. I didn't know some people left them in.

I couldn't believe it myself but I was almost out of rye and said WTF, I'll check wally world and asked the attendant to do a price check. I don't know why I was even in there. I usually don't use the term "hate", but I hate that store.

I used WBS for about a year and switched to rye a few weeks ago. Main reason being that WBS is pretty finicky... it liked to slime up on me if I didn't prepare it just perfectly. Now I've used RR's rye prep method a few times and things are working out a lot better for me. As far as choosing a 'best choice' between the two, as they say it's just personal preference.
I have to go out of my way to get the rye, but at the moment I'm diggin it.

I agree, rye seems really nice. But WBS is soooo much cheaper. And if this no-cook method keeps working, then it is easier to prep, too
