Should I trash these grains?
    #22381895 - 10/15/15 04:02 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

So ive been having a lot of trouble making grain jars, which I suspected I was overcooking them. ( most of them burst.)so yesterday I soaked my millet/spelt mix (which I never did before) and was planning of cooking tgem for 1 hr 30 mins instead of 2.

Now 18 hours later almost all of the millet looks like this:


Is this bad? Cant seem to get grains working.

I dont really need another tek. Tried 2 so far and if these grains turn out to be no good id have failed with both.

I just bought some popcorn today and if that fails ima stop trying grains.

Sounds like you're leaving too much air in the subsrate jar, and it's expanding due to the heat, causing your jars to explode. Either reduce thee amount of air in the jars, or add filters to the jar lids and cover them with tin foil to allow the expanding gases to escape without moistening your filter. :goodluck:

I don't mean to be rude but perhaps you wouldn't be failing at grain prep if you were actually following a tek. People create tek's to help others, such as yourself, have an easier transition into this hobby. They're are quite a few steps to fuck up while trying to manage the life cycle of a mushroom. Every step has it's pitfalls. Tek's are created to help others avoid those pitfalls.

Thats why I said I failed instead of the teks suck.

And as you said there are a lot of steps to fuck up. I have to improvise sterilisation times because I suspect my pc doesnt reach 15 psi and im pretty sure there lies the problem.
Either too much cooking or not sterile. I followed every other thing to a T so its gotta be something concerning the pc.

The question actually was if those grains are ok to use. Another tek that tells me to do what I already done cant help me.

Thanks for trying though

So how can it be your pc times? Also, grains don't explode from soaking them. It usually happens from boiling them too long or if they explode in the pc, it's because they were over hydrated when you loaded them into the jars.

If all you had to do for the grain to explode was soak it, get new grain.

Are you serious? Those are 2 different questions. Those grains have never seen a pc yet.

My question was : I soaked grains for 18 hours and they look like that are they ok to use?
