Ok so 3 out of 5 jars are showing decent growth. Very excited. Picked up 24 more qt jars yesterday with 2 big bags of wbs.(Couldn't find rye.) Along with a lot of other needed materials(strainer, mixing bowls, 2 60 qt tubs...etc.) Very throughly rinsed 10 qt jars worth of grain last night. Soaking in warm water. The plan is to simmer and jar those babies tonight when I get off work. Very excited!

Thanks for keeping up with my updates! I'm considering you my first shroomery friend. I'm encouraging extreme criticism so you have some expectations to live up to.

NEW BATCH OF JARS 12/29/13
Update: Dried simmered grain until toiler paper standards were good, lol. Fairly dry overall but still moist. Loaded up into 10 jars. Did a better job of not overfilling. Using pollyfill for filter/ge. Tinfoiled and then PCed 5 for 90 mins. Then later PCed the other 5. Both were successful. Grain has plenty room and rolls like bbs. Plan to inoculate sometime tomorrow. I have 2 MS . B+ and PE-6.
Question though. How much should I inject per jar. Both are 10cc. Basically can I spread a 10cc syringes over 10 jars. 1cc per jar ok? Thanks again!  *I did search the question but just want more opinions in general.*

YOmamaPr0 said: Ok pics thank goodness. Ok. Possible things I see wrong with the jars. 1.Possibly exploded too much of the grain. 2. Could have rinsed better because slight dirt residue on inside. 3. Not completely sure if water content is correct. No pooling of water at bottom and I know they're not dry so I'm confident in that area. 4. Too much grain in jars. Makes it harder to see growth with the excess grain. That's all I have speculated. Let me know you guys think. And as always thanks a lot!

Exactly the simmer is only to add water mainly, watch your grains...10 min tops...and rye is soooooo much easier...but good job and I hope it turns out...updates!!!

The only reason I have ever simmered grain was to get them hot enough to evaporate most of the external water. About 6 months ago, I gave up the simmer. I have had no issues at all with colonization of grain without a simmer.

I also found that with WBS i had a lot of grains exploding, once I switched to rye that became a thing of the past....

Honest opinions please! IMO I think they're better than the last. Not perfect but definitely decent. No mush. Roll around like bbs. Good moisture content. PCed 12/29/13
