I know my ratio for rice is 1 cup rice and 3 cups water to full heat and then pc gets me 3.5 cups of perfect content. So the no soak or boil method should 1 to 2.5 ratio. Try it

Yea just got that tag this month :smile:

Looking for a weight ratio vs volume, i do lbs/kgs not cups. Looking to make about 10 lbs dry product, 4 lbs for an order and the rest for 2017 farmers market tincture sales. I'm selling it for $25 lb dry vacuum packed rice, hopefully i get more orders :smile:.

Out of curiosity are growing sinensis vs militaris?

From what I've read militaris is easier to cultivate than sinensis

No greater than 66% water content, for grains, some prefer 50% water content.

Dry rice - 5% (internal water), x 2 for water, - difference.


Example:

100g - 5% = 95g dry (difference 5). 95 x 2 = 190 (2/3 total parts). 190 - 5 = 185g water.

100g rice + 185g water = 66% water content total. 285g / 3 = 95g.

Substrate water guide:

x 1 Dry Substrate | 1 Part(s) | 50% Water.
x 2 Dry Substrate | 2 Part(s) | 66% Water.
x 3 Dry Substrate | 3 Part(s) | 75% Water.
x 4 Dry Substrate | 4 Part(s) | 80% Water.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick example:

100g pellets, I want 75% water content.
100g BRF, I want 66% water content.


Pellets:

100g - 5% = 95g dry (difference 5). 95 x 3 = 285 (3/4 total parts). 285 - 5 = 280g water.

100g pellets + 280g water = 75% water content total. 380g / 4 = 95g.


BRF:

100g - 5% = 95g dry (difference 5). 95 x 2 = 190 (2/3 total parts). 190 - 5 = 185g water.

100g rice + 185g water = 66% water content total. 285g / 3 = 95g.


Total water to add: 280g + 185g = 465g

I couldn't get that to work bUT I was making aspergillus tempeh starter which is dry (30-40% h2o)

Typical too wet on the bottom too dry on top problem

If you have oven gloves, and depending on the lid setup, you could turn over the jar after pressure drop.
That should help balance things out a bit. Can't you DIY some spawn with grain flour?

Just swap the verm for plant fiber material with good holding ability.

I do many of kilos of brown rice every week.

I boil the rice no more than 5 minutes, all the time doing the fingernail test..
I would rather have under cook than over cook.

When the grain of rice lets my fingernail cut the grain in two it's time to toss into the extra large home made strainer and a cold water rinse to stop the cooking and rence out the starch...

Now the most important part of the process: Dehydrate the rice..

I built a non heat dehydrating box with a box fan that sets on top blowing air down..

Depending on the ambient temperature It could take 30 min. to 60 min. to dry. Then into my grow bag (.5 micron)

Keep in mind the dryer the better. Just a slight dampness will do..
 
If it's too wet It becomes mushy and requires allot of time for the heat to reach the center of the bag during pc cycle...

I doubt I can make perfect rice by adding water and then
pc.

There seems to be a fine line with rice, where as other grains are more forgiving..


Just my opinion....:shrug:
