What's the best WBS Tek to use?
    #24021946 - 01/19/17 04:31 AM (7 years, 11 days ago)

I've read through quite a few of them, some say they are out dated. Just wondering what's the best Tek some of the more experienced cultivators use? Thanks in advance...

Throw it out and use Sorghum or Rye? I have no idea. Only time I used it, was slimey as shit and a pain in the arse to work with. Would be interested to see if there is actually a way to use it with less issues.

I've used it before and had really good results. I just remember seeing a Tek that mentioned you didn't have to remove the floaters, and I was trying to take the easy way out. I thought maybe taking out the floaters was out dated. Also the amount of time to soak the WBS may be out dated in the older teks. I went ahead and went with Frank's WBS Tek, just didn't add the gypsum or coffee. Last time I soaked for 24 hours the WBS seemed a little more saturated than I would have liked, so I am just going to soak for about 8 hours this time. I would love to use rye berries I just haven't been able to find them around here yet. Tried popcorn once and that was a disaster but I have read people who swear by it.

Empty the bag of WBS into a large container. Take that container and throw it out. Buy a bag of oats and use them instead. Works like a charm for me.

In all seriousness, I know it's not what you asked but I think oats is better, cheaper and easier to work with

I am going to do several dozen quarts, I would love to try oats, I have those in the kitchen. What's the Tek you use and I will definitely do a tub using them.

Yep after I take a nap heading to the Tractor Supply Company and grabbing a bag of oats, WBS works but it's messy and a PITA. Appreciate the Tek reference seems easy as 1-2-3.

I used to use WBS a lot and thought it was dead simple and worked 100% of the time.  I'd just put it in a big boiling pot with 3x as much water as WBS and some used coffee grinds and throw in some Gypsum too ... Boil for 15 minutes ... let it steep for another 20 or so ... then pour it into a big collander and shake / let it drain for a half hour  or so making sure no more drips even if I shake it ...

Then load it into whatever ... bags ... jars ... PC for 90 mins... Inoculate and it just worked.  Never pooled or puddled on the bottom ... colonized fast ... easy to break up ...

Honestly, I just pour mine straight from the bag to the pot to soak and simmer until I can easilly break or "pop" a seed with my fingernail, then rinse the WBS off while straining. Fill jar 2/3 full and PC with one layer of tin foil for 90 min at 15 PSI.

Why do you soak and not simmer? Hasn't soaking been proven to simply allow more shit to grow while simmering pushes the water content?

1. adding heat to wbs will cause it to clump..making a sticky mess. you have to watch it like a hawk. honestly i could figure it out but im not making dinner here. im making drugs.

2. the argument of why we soak has been talked about too much for something so basic. water into a grain is the end goal.
ive failed so many times is shocking. however. 1 area i hardly ever fail is bad prep. since late summer ive had 2 jars go bad out of many..many many jars. and they were both filter failures. other grains you only boil them to steam dry them right? i think i read that somewhere:confused:

in the end jars will almost always go bad if you fuck up and make them too wet.
too dry maybe they stall or take forever but that never happens to me either.

Are oats really that much better? I've used oats plenty, but lately the grocery store has had 5 pound bags of WBS for $1.59. it saves me from driving all the way across Denver to the feed store.
