You ain't kidding Crack.  Next year when I start selling edibles I'll have to break my rule about bags,  but until then I'm going to remain hard headed lol *sighs The real workout is the gallons I like for oysters...

For real! I think shaking a half gallon jar of any grain would be hell on my old man back.

Gallon jars seem like straight masochism

I don't think any of us revel within the thought of shaking a half gallon jar.
No sir. I would rather just crush a bag and mix it than say shake a big ol' jar.
This is why I've been so focused on bags as of late.

Man I keep going back and forth about bags and I guess my hang up now is my inexperience with LC. I use agar to noc everything and with no flowhood, nocing bags with grain jars is fucking awful. Am I just gonna have to quite dicking around and learn LC or is anyone here doing bags successfully in an SAB with G2G?

You can do it.  You can rig a vertical SAB and do G2G with bags.  You can even dub two tubs to increase space.  Vertical is quick to engineer.  Still a PITA but it works.

I am actually drawing up some designs on a vertical SAB so I can use my bags
It consists of two tubs each stacked together vertically and then sealed making one big tub.
I will use some wire hangers I have laying around to create a supportive base to keep it standing when in use.
I plan to have holes just like my regular SAB, except this SAB i'm going to have to stand on a stool to use.
I am the shortest Irishman no lie.
oh flowhood where art thou.

I was just thinking about using some plexi laying around to make a "nice" SAB for both bags and jars. Just a big ass box, like 4x3, with adjustable arm holes and back lighting and shit. Fuck yeah, we're doin' this!

If you all were forced to do a no-prep tek (I know its not for everyone) which grains would you use? Which wouldn't you use?

I don't have the luxary of having a large enough workshop to have the ability to put anything like that together.
All I'm able to work with are easy mold materials like plastics, foils, etc.
When I get the space I am planning on a wood shop where I can build all the things I need.
But for now I am left with little choice but to design around what I have.

So, now that it’s got my brain smokin, only piece of plexi that would be needed is the front, as long as there’s no reason you couldn’t use a sealer on the wood for the other sides of it.  That way surface isn’t absorbing anything......lighting could be done easy too.....and still come out cheaper than a FH......but then later could be converted for a FH.....

and the negatives for starchy is what?




Honestly idk.  I run my hands through the grains as they dry.  With unsoaked grains I feel the need to wash my hands afterwards.  With soaked grains I don’t.  I’ve only used oats, rye, and wheat in bulk and I do them all the same.  Cause I like to.  I’ll also spend an hour or two to harvest a tub.  Cause I like to.  :rockon:

I actually had my fastest growth ever on no prep wbs. I think the oils and grain dust and stuff helped it spread.


Lately I’ve been soaking 15-24 hours usually changing the water out around 10 hours when all the oil is floating on top.

Anyone strain their PDA to make a clearer agar? I’m thinking of boiling some water+potato flakes and straining that before I add my agar and dextrose

I am contemplating switching from wheat to millet for 4 quart myco bags for cube monos.


Pros:
no heat, no drying prep
more inoculation points
same price as wheat for me


Cons:
Gets everywhere
perhaps more finicky to hydrate?
Does it hold less water? (what would a target water percentage be?)

Can anyone add to this? I'm seeking easier/easiest grain prep.

Greasy/starchy grains slow growth big time.




I agree if you're growing in jars because they usually need to be shaken. But if growing in bags it doesn't seem to make much difference. I have seen no slow growth and I use mostly starchy grains such as popcorn and rice.

I mean this stuff, when I get the grains with that greasy shiny look I can expect slow growth.

I'll try to pay more attention to that sheen with my grains. Thanks for mentioning it.
