Fair enough. Like I said I don't use WBS much so you will hear no argument from me.

Yes but.. How were your yields and whats the nutrient ratio in them and millet?
I would figure you would want a super high amount of millet to seeds. I keep a few around for the oil content.
I am interested in this seed only grow, I am saving my seeds next time and finding out these answers for us.

Lol, so you want to play Bodhisatta, very good, game on. It is quite funny that you should choose Bacillus Subtilus, as it's something I'm quite familiar with. In fact as I speak I'm looking at a quart of the stuff sitting in front of me, oh and I also take it daily in a capsule form as a part of a superior form of probiotic supplement(superior specifically because the surrounding proteinaceous coating inbues the spore with an ability to withstand the strong acids of the primary digestive system enabling it to reach the lower intestines where it has the most beneficial affects on ones lower intestinal flora, but that's a discussion for another day ;?).
That said, I will have to defer my response until tomorrow as it is quite late and if I don't get to bed the nurses will become angry, lol. But yeah, see you soon ;?D

It was a year and a half ago and really had no idea what I was doing at that time but from what I can remember is that the tub triched out. I bucket tek'd cvg with coffee (big mistake). I haven't attempted it since.

So im using rye. I tried WBS once and i just didnt like it. Between filtering out the sunflower husks and stuff... im just used to rye and it works for me. Albeit more expensive but whatever. See. If i was to have to boil and steam dry anyway id just as well soak. What i want to know is anyone that just throws dry grain straight into jar with x amount of water and commences the PC cycle. If im gonna fuss around with boiling and drying i just as well will soak for 12 hours or so.

Boil for 30 minutes, strain and load. I let them dry for a bit, but you can just load them wet if you want. They absorb the extra moisture during the PC cycle.

Care to link to the type of oats you use? I see a whole variety when I'm in the feed store.

Here's the ratios I use for rye & wheat grain. You obviously may need to adjust it some depending on the starting moisture content of your grains. Gypsum is optional as always.
After PC'ing shake them before they cool down completely to help avoid clumping. I usually just wait till I can pick them up without burning my hands.
RYE GRAIN/QUART JARS 300mL Rye 175mL H2o
WHEAT GRAIN/QUART JARS 300mL 150mL H2o
    
Make a few jars to these specs and make some deviating from it - some with more water, some with less water. Label the amounts in each jar and PC them all together. Afterwards pick out the best looking jar and roll with that.

Seriously boil for 30-40 minutes. No rinse or soak, they are pretty clean.

So a question about oats. Whenever I boil wbs it gets very starchy if I don't rinse it again, do oats not have this issue or just if you over boil them?
