wbs sticking together
    #19404500 - 01/11/14 04:04 PM (10 years, 19 days ago)

I just inoculated some jars.  But the WBS is like stuck together because it is wet.  The top of it is crumbly.

Should I open the top and move the seeds around if I have gloves? or is this a bad idea?

Is it normal to stick together?

Is it wet or sticky? Is there any cracked corn in it?

work on your grain prep, soak for 12-24 hours gypsum optional but i highly recommend it.

then bring to a simmer/boil and dump into collander as soon as it starts bubblin to realease the steam and dry the grain

dont cook your wbs :thumbup:

gypsum is an additive, you can get it at aces or lowes etc.  add roughly about 1tablespoonish per jar while its soaking in the pot or w/e you use to soak it in,  and leave it when you boil

yes it is a solid mass and yes there is cracked corn.  I did not keep track of the time when I was simmering and I may have boiled it because it was like a sludge after it was boiled.



Should I wait and restart?  Or will it still work?

if you dont shake it after pressure cooking it will turn to a solid mass also atleast that was my experience :foreheadslap:

did you shake after pressure cooking?

ok so what i did wrong was not se gypsum,  over boiled, not rinsed enough, and didn't shake after pressure cooking right?


I filled the jars 3/4 th's


Could I have filled it too much?

They are filled to the 700 milliliter line on a standard ballpark quart jar.

no you ddn't fill it too much, just feel them before you load your jars, if they feel sticky it will be messy

how long was your simmer, just bring water up to simmer then shut the heat off and drain and steam/dry
