i prefer spending an extra 3$ on nice metal strainers, but i still have a screen exactly like that, i use from time to time :p (i also use the screen to dry extra mushies that wont fit into my dehydrator. i run 2 fans over it until they can be transferred into the dehydro. doesnt seem to lose any extra potency this way, at least nothing noticeable.)
would you use the screen over the strainer? the only benefit i see is that the seeds get more surface space for air and dry more quickly. whereas in the strainer i have to flip it around and move the seeds every 20 minutes or so to get a nice dry outer layer.

I leave my grains a little bit dry and load them wet instead of spreading them apart and drying. Grain prep takes no longer than 40minutes ever since I started doing it this way. From dry grains to hydrated in 30minutes, strain for a couple of minutes until they stop dripping and just fill the jars and wrap in foil.
I can't go back to waiting for grains to dry honestly.

Yeah, oats are a bitch to dry completely. I kept trying to get them dry, even with some tedious methods and I never really liked any of them. But once I tried to load them wet I just fell in love with it.
Honestly, you could hydrate oats fully and load them wet and you will still probably get by just fine. I just leave them a tad bit dry as a pre-caution.

Ya same here man I had them drying in towels in a strainer for a whole day still damp I haven't had any problems I pretty much do like you now I just wait till the water isn't dripping and the steam stops and load my jars up ... I even left them in water cause it slipped my mind so loaded up those sticky clumpy bastards and too be honest they colonized alot quicker but it was probably dumb luck I wouldn't do it again

Takes a lot of effort to get clumpy oats IME. Haven't had a jar that gave me trouble to break up so far.

Look at those plump motherfuckers. Are those oats? If they are they look very hydrated, I don't think I ever had oats that look like that.
