I started with his tek originally but I couldn't get the outside to dry, no matter what I tried. By the time I was told that I can load them wet, I had already tinkered with the prep enough to be completely different. In my case, speed is what matters most so I kept changing stuff that would make the prep shorter.
Now I just boil those fuckers to my desired hydration level, strain them till they stop dripping and load them in the jars, still steaming hot. I haven't had a faster prep than that so far.
OAts are very hard to fuck up, even if you overhydrate them it's really hard to get a clumped jar of grains. I haven't seen an oat prep tek that I wouldn't recommend honestly, apart from the one where you throw water and grains and PC. It's all just preference. Some like to soak and some like them done fast.

I use eatyu's easy oat prep. add 15 minutes to foomans tek and thats all lol. I just love dumping boiling water on stuff and calling it a day. too easy.. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22158748
my screen was just from scraps around the shed. I have a larger one made with 2x4 and 1x2 with the screen stapled in between. the 2x4 acting as a wall to keep the grain from spilling. made it to fit over a bathtub. mesh is window screen, like $4 for a huge roll.

My method is very similiar to van der grieger's, the only difference is that he hydrates fully and dries before loading, instead of hydrate a little less and load while the grains are steaming.

I do the same. I haven't been on the boards in awhile. If it's dated, what's the new way people are doing things?
Also, I just use a strainer I made with window screen and pvc.

Depends on the grain you are using really. Nothing too new either, just little adaptations to the method.
There's a soak no simmer tek for WBS for example. Big grains like rye and oats can be boiled with no soak. Optionally, you can leave them a tad bit dry and load them wet like I was talking about. Shaves off time by not having to dry them.
It's just hydration, no matter how different a tek is it's still doing the same thing. There is no ultimate tek when it comes to this stuff, just personal preference.

I use rye. I'll have to give it a shot just simmering and rinsing. Would save some time.

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.

I use whole oats as well and don't even do a simmer anymore.
All I do is soak for 24hours with some gypsum in the water, rinse with HOT tap water... drain a strainer for about an hour (just to let excess water drain off), then load into jars. Any water that is left over absorbs when I run the PC cycle.
This works great for me every time and after some experimenting have found no need to do them any other way...

It's actually a boil, a simmer would take longer. Rye can be a little more delicate than oats I hear, so you could do a simmer on your first few tries and work your way up from there.
If speed is what you are after, I would suggest you give loading the grains wet a try. Just leave the grain slightly dry on the inside, just a speck of white in the core and just strain them until they stop dripping and load them into your jars. This is what my grains look like when I take them off the heat and pour them into the strainer. You can see two tiny specks of white at the core where the grain is thickest.

I load them into jars a minute or two later, you can see they are still steaming a lot.

that steaming is great for getting the outside dry too so look for that when you drop it in your strainer. i use the same strainers as shown here and i love them.

Haha the struggle. Reminds me of using the 941 to soak grain then squat-walking it 20ft to the strainer (not the easy way!)
