Peroxide rinse for grain spawn before PC?

I tried my first batch of rye grain spawn and most of them got contaminated after a week, so I'm trying to go back and figure out what I did wrong. I was reading a tek where the author recommends to soak the grain in peroxide, then a little capfull of bleach, before boiling.

Do other people do this, and is this possibly harmful to the spawn? He says it mostly boils off in the process. Also, I'm wondering if rinsing again prior to boiling might remove some of the gypsum.

No peroxide or bleach....that is just not needed.
And yea rinsing after the soak will wash away the gypsum, so don't do it.
Once the jars are sterilized, if anything contaminates them after this it is either bad inoculant or insufficient sterile procedure.

I have never seen anyone doing anything like that with their grain prep over here.
I follow RR's rye prep outlined in his videos and it's perfect evertime.
What's up with your inoculation procedure?
