I do 50lb bag of rye, unwashed, in a 30 gallon pot. Soak 12-24 hours, bring to 200 degrees or to the start of boiling, big thing is to not pop grains. No gypsum. Ball valve at bottom of pot to drain water. Scoop out with a gallon scooper, throw onto big home made strainer over box fans. Stir for 10 min on strainer until outside of grains are dry. Load 4qts per bag. I use .5 micron unicorn bags, and pre seal them before sterilizing for 2.5 hours.
Pic of strainer:

This tek makes 16-18 4qt spawn bags at one time.

awesome method u got going man!!! Im having trouble finding bulk bags of rye berries in my area & shipping is outragious!!! @ the moment I have some on hand (idk exact weight) but not near enough to do something of this scale since i cant find a good supply of rye unfortunately. I have my impulse sealer, .5 micron/ported injection bags (large) but I know i have enough for atleast a couple bags if not a few for the moment (thinking mabe 2-3QT./bag)

Look for feed and seed / farm supply places near your place. Most people have a few options within 45 min driving distance. Feed store rye is typically around $20 a 50# bag. Alternatively you can get organic rye berries in bulk from whole foods stores, you just have to special order it from their grocery department. You can also get organic rye online from wholesalers like honeyville grains, but both of these options run about $60 a bag. The upside to organic is that it is really clean Grain, making it easier to prep.
If you're not having any luck with rye, try asking for winter wheat or sorghum (milo).
