wait until your grains are done steaming before you load and 1/4-1/2 hole stuffed with poly i used it alot with great success and you can infect threw it as well
as cronicr said stuff it tight

What I do is just let water run through the birdseed in a screen in my sink until I feel they're clean enough. Then I put them in some water and heat it until I can bite through it and it has the consistency of rice that needs another 5 minutes. Then I dump it back into the screen and let it drain until no more drops come out. Then I put some towels down and set the birdseed screen on top of them. Stir frequently and a few hours later they are dry enough and I load my jars/bags.

so soak the grains, remove sunflower seeds, once done soaking put lids on and stuff polyfil tight as I can in the hole from the nail, do I need to put tinfoil over the lid the add the circle cap thing before putting in the PC, how do I go about pressue cooking the jars in the non-electric.

After the soak you wanna summer them too. Also, I've only ever removed sunflower seeds when it was becoming annoying for me to prep, they won't hurt anything. It's old information that you need to remove the floaters. Make sure the nail is big enough, about a quarter inch. Polyfill doesn't need to be stuffed super tight, just tight enough to stay put. And no, you put the circle with polyfil down, then the ring, then a couple sheets of aluminum foil over it. It's not as hard as it seems, I've never fucked it up except for when I left the grain sitting out for a couple days while they waited to go in the pc. They went sour real fast. You'll be fine, don't worry, I'm glad your asking these questions though.

I'm glad I read this, I didn't know that. Back when I was reading about grain prep people just said to stuff it tight, but not so tight that you restrict gas exchange. So much can change in 9 months on here!

my PC doesn't have a canning rack, is that bad?
sorry if my questions get repetitive, I really want to make sure I do things right,
wash grains till waters pours out clean, remove sunflower seeds. soak for 12 hours, add 1tbs of spent coffee grounds per 3 jars,then simmer them for 10 min. pour out all the water, lay them on paper towels. once dry on outside, poke hole in lid, polyfill, ring then tin foil. add cloth the bottom Pc put jars in the PC add enough water 90min. (mine don't have a canning rack, psi meter or anything digital.) let them PC, take out and let them cool, shake a little. once cool insert 2ccs in each half pint jar. let them do there thing.
I feel better reading something simple while actual in the preparation, so does That sound good? i'll be reading from ^that if its correct.

I use to use an old window screen, actually it wasn't old until I took it off of my window and used it to strain birdseed. Lol. Now I use a big sheet of windowscreening that I bought from ace that fits in my sink nicely. Also, I'd use less than 2cc's. I use 1cc at most. Especially if you're using spores.

I did that my first time, I used 0.8 cc's per jar cause I assumed there was 10cc's per syringe, but I forgot about the extra 2 cc's the awesome shroomery sponsors give you. So I had a little more than 2 extra cc's which I used to make a lc which I recently used to restart!
