How's this WBS lookin?

So this will be my first attempt at using WBS. I've heard many tumescent about certain standards with WBS such as not too much cracked corn or sunflower seeds. Not sure if anyone can tell me by the looks of the pics here how on par I'm lookin as far as all that goes.

Also so where do I go from here. Do I just soak. Should I simmer also? Any good go to teks on prepping WBS? I'm gonna search but figured I'd throw it out there along with this post in case anyone can just point me in the right direction.

Ok. How would that have helped me as far asking for an experienced eye of someone versed and familiar in using WBS wether or not judging by my pics of newly acquired WBS if I had decent stuff or not. I'm not sure when I read people talk of cracked corn and sunflower seeds exactly what to look for. I personally am not clear at this time how much is too much just right or what have you. Figured posting a pictorial with a lil request for someone opinion on said bird seed looked workable or not. But right on. I was making the post in regards to the pictures to see if someone could give me an idea about what I was working with. The fact that I asked for someone to point me in the right direction just went along with said post. As I said I planned on searching up WBS teks. That still had nothing to do with my wanted some feedback on the actual WBS I acquired
Thanks for the link to franks WBS tek though!

Absolutely not. Never boil WBS. Simmer.
OP, that WBS will be fine.
The way I prep is to rinse very well with hot water, removing sunflower seeds where I can. Then soak in hot water for 24 hours. I change the water to keep it hot. After 24 hours, I change the water out again and bring it to a simmer. I simmer until some of the kernels start to bust. Usually the millet goes first. Once it's done, I drain it then set it on a towel with a fan on it to dry. Jar it up and PC for 90 minutes.

I actually just prepped about half a bag of that exact bird seed (amazon). It has a whole lot of sunflower seeds in it, which is ok, but once you give it a few good rinses, let it soak overnight (I've been giving them around a day to soak, just because its convenient for my work hours) and then put them on the stove in a pot, bring to a boil and then let it simmer for ~15-30 minutes. Once thats good, let it cool for a bit drain the water and then dump the seed and let it dry until you can't really pick up water from patting with a paper towel.
I'm looking for a better bird seed with less sunflower, twistedty, where did you get that economy mix bag?

Again, never boil your WBS. It causes kernels to explode. Bring it to a simmer and no more.

I dont boil my seed for any length of time. I put the WBS on the stove on high heat, stir regularly, once I have a little less than a boil, I will cover the pot and then bring the heat to medium low for nor more than 30 minutes. - I've yet to have problems doing this and I've been under the impression that <5-10% of kernels exploding was okay. Am I wrong in this assumption?

5-10% of your kernels busting is OK but not desirable. Mine actually don't burst at all anymore.

Well maybe not a boil you want it hot enough to be able to release alot of steam to dry the exterior, you dont need to boil/simmer your grains after a soak for any more than a minute

You don't need to simmer them, but you can get a lot more water in there than with just a soak. RR says the point of a soak is to hydrate, and the boil is just to cause steam. But he works with rye. We've got several different grains in WBS, which all need slightly different things to be properly hydrated.
I simmer my WBS for about 15-20 minutes and there is a very noticeable difference between that and grain that's just soaked.

I simmer my WBS for ten minutes, it does wonders for puffing up the grains.
I just make sure there is no cracked corn in it.
My tek says not to boil at all (just heat to a simmer and strain) because most WBS I see people using has cracked corn in it. But if there is none, it is beneficial to simmer like 36 recommends.

I find a simmer works fine even with some corn in it, just as long as there's not ridiculous amounts of it. I also change my soak water every few hours to keep it hot, though, so that may be the difference. By the time I actually simmer, there's basically no starch left. It gets converted to sugar and washed away.

Thanks guys. I'm really kinda nervous using this but I gather I'm gonna give it a go. I only have one master grain ATM and really hope I don't waste it on this stuff. All my agar cultures grew out as I was just too busy over the holidays. That and my grain source is out of stock ATM so this was the best I could do. What's the worse thatc an happen with all the corn? I got rid of a lot of sunflower seeds and holy shit there was a lot.

Corn just makes it sticky. I personally don't use gypsum, but only because I can't find it.

Thanks. This is the WBS after removing sunflower seeds. I removed virtually all of them fairly easily. However quite a bit if corn left over by the looks of it.

Just curious arethe grains supposed to be kind of soft after the soak as is tye case with rye? I know after a rye soak you can just mush it in between your fingers if you squeeze the grain I just tried doing this w7th my wbs and its still on the fairly hard side is this ok and normal

So my wbs passed toilet paper t3st however its stillsticky kind of. Its nit clumping t8gether or anything but when I stick my hand inthe bucket and take it out its almost filmy . Is this normal? Like I said its not clumoing at all. This is all pre pc.
I was also curious. I kind of measured wrong and ended up withmore jars than I need I know with grain jarsi good for weeks after prezsure cooking bevore using them they stay plenty hydrated and dont contam before iinnoculatein thT time. Can I expect the samewith the wbs?

You don't have to, but sunflower seeds don't hold shit for water. My grain is 1/3 of my final fruiting substrate. I want as much water as I can get in it.

Like 36 said, sunflower seeds suck.
Plus, if you are rinsing your grains (and why wouldn't you?) then all those seeds float to the top. They're simple to skim off and dispose of. Just don't put them down your drain, they have clogged my sink's p-trap on multiple occasions

I assumed as much and good to know. Sometimes I get paranoid when I try new things because I see posts from other kats showing horror stories. Like pictures of insanely over saturated jars of grain or WBS and claims of following teks to t. I always wonder how in the hell those things happen as when I follow to a t everything really works out. I'm led to believe when people claim they followed to a t they are leaving out a few shortcuts they may have took I gather. Well I gather i will see this time around. Loading jars commencing followed by two PC cycles of 28 jars total.
Again. Should I be ok with 14 of those jars uninnoculated for a week or two?

You should be OK (like 95% chance), but it's hard to say. I've had a house so full of mold that I had 35 jars with cellulose SFD's and Polyfil sterilized sitting for a week that all spontaneously went bad before inoculation.

I can't agree with frank more. Never put them down your drain. I pulled out the sunflower seeds of a 40lb bag worth an figured I'd just run them down the garbage disposal. Backed all my drains up and got a very weird look from the plumber that snaked them out. Lol

Ok so I let them steam dry. It passed the paper towel test. I just took them out of the pressure cooker. Like I said I'm new to WBS. I know my rye grain never really looks this wet. Can any of you guys tell by the pics if my moisture content is too wet or not?

make sure your lid is on tight and give them a shake, do they roll around rather easily?

Too wet.
They should be completely dry on the outside.
All the moisture should be on the inside of the grains.

your grains should be fairly firm when you take them off the simmer. and let steam/dry for about 2 hours

Yes. If I just turn them they all roll around just fine aside from some sticking to the wall due to being a little wet. Otherwise no clumping. It just seems pretty wet to me compared to my rye grains.

if they roll around easily and there is no clumping you did good.
now you just need to do this everytime

it's normal for some moisture to be there right after the pc cycle, it will go away within a day

Yea. I did like three or four runs of 5 normal sized collanders. After each run steamed dry and passed paper towel test, in a bucket they went. And while in the bucket and I was simmering and steaming next batch I would stir it up time to time. Same thing I do when I do grains.

G2g for 14 jars and 11 agar.
I just gave them another really good shake, and they look a lot better. I gather most of the moisture was concentrated on the outside by the glass. After distributing it looks much better!

I use the same exact of wbs brand, Really good price. 13 bucks for a bag of 20lbs? I've used this brand and it works. Listen what cronic said, That moisture is gunna go away. I always see pooling after PC but it goes away the next day.

You know, if you're this sketchy about shit, you should start with single jar experiments and keep using rye. That way you get some experience, and if it fucks up who cares?
Again, your grain is perfectly fine. Just PC it. Quit worrying so much. Take a Xanax or something.
