Rye grain questions (with picture)
    #19071315 - 11/01/13 06:06 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

This has been my first attempt at both LC and rye grain, so I really have no idea what to expect hands on.  I used a honey/water LC which I made from homemade spore syringe.  Mycelium grew nicely, so I decided to use it to inoculate a few rye seed jars.  I think the problem may be that I put too much LC into the jars, but for some reason it's just been forming this white liquid stuff.  It doesn't look like any of the pictures Ive seen, nor does it have that web-looking mycelium look.  Also, the jars smell kind of bad, but the rye seed just smells nasty anyway.  Don't know what to think of it all.  Any input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

You probably messed up with the water content of the substrate when LC was added. You don't want to mess with water excess when working with grain ...

Just dispose the substrate in the bin. Avoid smelling the content as it probably is bacteria.

Better luck next time man ...

How did the rye seed method turn out? What were the steps you took? Perhaps you used too much water for the rye grain seed method?

This is an old thread. The person you're asking this question to hasn't logged on in 1 year and 7 months.

Looking back now, it was probably the water content.  I also didn't have a pressure cooker, so that definitely could have had something to do with it. 

Also, I'm not certain the LC I was using wasn't contaminated.  Could have very well been.

If you didn't have a pc, how were you sterilizing your grains?

I honestly think I probably followed my confirmation bias to some obscure post that said you could steam sterilize grains.  I think that's what I tried to do.  Now we know what happens.

You can steam sterilize grains, but it takes a very long time. 4 or 8 hours, I forget which, I've never done it.

If you were truly curious on how to do it correctly, I'm sure the information is on this site somewhere.

It could have been a valid tek I was following; regardless, the water content seems to have been the biggest issue.  I have a pressure cooker now and haven't looked back since.

No, maybe one day.  I'm sort of functioning on the MacGyver mushroom grower budget at the moment.  Grabbed a 16-quart Presto pressure cooker off Craigslist for $40; so far so good.
