This is kind of a general question, but is there a reason why you add only 4 quarts, when you also mention that 5 is also acceptable? Since drying out seems to be a big issue, why not go with 5 quarts? Why risk drying?

You can use anywhere from 4-5 qts of water with this recipe and it's still considered field capacity; it's a matter of preference. I mentioned the range for people who still don't quit understand what field capacity is.

I dunk my grains, so if I used 5 qts of water in my substrate it would be too wet and either stall or grow tiny fruits.

for this tek, I used 4 qts water because it's better to err on the dry side of field capacity when just learning to do bulk. If it seems too dry, then just add more water next time.

Your sub shouldn't be drying out with this recipe; it's used by a lot of people. If your sub is drying out, then you may want to try turning off the fan in the room, if you're using one or adjusting your polyfil. I usually don't use a fan.




Thanks, I shook up my jars four days ago, and they've recovered a lot now. Others told me to wait until the jar is completely white, with no visible grains, so I'll wait for that... might be another couple days 'cause some outlier grains seem hard to reach.
