millet absorbed the water (fooman's tek)

so while using this tek(which worked for me before like charm): http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8508523/fpart/1/vc/1 i decided to do more millet so i can inoculate more jars. when the water started to boil i removed the pot from the hot burner and dumped the dry millet. after 25 mins the millet nearly absorbed all the water! so i couldnt strain the floaters and stuff. should i start again with new millet and more water? or proceed as usual? am i gonna face troubles in the water content after i inoculate the jars? currently they are sitting in the sink to drain.

I wouldn't worry about the floaters. Should be fine if there was still a little water left.

dump off the hot water. pour in cool water until the floaters go to the top. then dump them off. your going to rinse with cold water anyway. you try to reduce floaters. but i always get black sunflowers seed mixed into my jars. i try to let the percentage be very small though.
here is a close up after floaters are poured off. you can't get them all.

also using this type of metal strainer helps with smaller grain size. other strainers often trap the water. you don't want pockets of water building up. it can cause clumping after the pressure cook. a nice even strain is what you want.
good strainer mesh

bad strainer. traps water.

I haven't observed any problems with floaters, sunflower seed, or cracked corn. All that shit seems to colonize for me.
Hypothetically they reduce nutritional density, and perhaps cause problems when simmered. Maybe in some poeple's experience they won't colonize and provide a vector for contams to grow in (though not in mine.)
I would just strain it very breifly and PC it a bit wet. The extra moisture should be absorbed into any grains that weren't fully hydrated because the water level dropped.
I use about 4x volume of water as grains with this prep (well, violet grain prep, but basically it's the same shit.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...
