Bod's Easy AF Oat Prep TEK (for making oat grain spawn)

You Will Need
some oats,
They're for horses, race horses. Should come in a 50 pound bag for about 10-15 dollars.

They look like this and come in bags like this

Bug free oats

you don't want rolled oats, or oats for human consumption which have the hulls removed

You will also need a Large pot and a pressure cooker, or use your pressure cooker as a large pot

Due to the absolute simplicity of oat prep there will be few pictures

for each quart jar measure out 1-1.25 cup(s) of oats by volume or 250-315mL

For 10 jars (what fits in my 23q presto) you need 10-12 cups of oats or 2.5-3 quarts of dry oats.

Since weight is easier and more reliable I just weigh out 210-220 grams per quart jar or 180 grams if using them for g2g receiving jars as they need some extra room.

into a large pot big enough to hold three times the height of the oats in water 8-10 liters or so.

something like that where the yellow is oats and the blue is water 3x taller than the oats

bring it to a boil on high heat, put a lid on and reduce the heat. You want it is boiling still(not a simmer a full on boil)

forget about it for 30-45 minutes

come back check the grain a few should be burst by now, if not go a bit longer

when a few grains start to get burst pour all the grains into large enough colanders

then forget about it for 30-60 minutes, stir once or shake if possible to get it to steam off more efficiently

they should leave very little water behind on a paper towel or piece of toilet paper

you can load into jars immediately while still warm/hot
2/3 full

pressure cook at 15-18psi for 2 hours (for quart sized jars)

Jars should shake freely after sterilization even without the use of gypsum

I personally find that drier grains perform way better than anything too wet. I sometimes prepare lots of grain a day ahead of time let it dry in the colander for a few hours then put it in the fridge overnight. It almost seems too dry, you can't get it too dry. If I have the time I vastly prefer to make the grain on the dry side.

30m to get oats to a boil
30-45m to boil the oats
30-60m to strain the oats depending on volume and how spread out you can get them etc..
3 hours with the pressure cook, 30m to pressure 2 hour cook 30m til it hits 0 and you can open it and take the jars out

only 4.5-5.5 hours for the first batch of 10 jars dry grain to sterilized jars being taken out of the cooker

subsequent runs can be prepared during the sterilization cycle of the first batch of grains
subsequent batches will only take ~3 hours then.

20-30 quarts of grain easily done in a day while just lingering around the house on a weekend. Doesn't even really feel like work

time to pressure cook them oats (link to pressure cooker TEK)

g2g receiving jars 6.75 days(162 hours)

Results

2nd flush results

5g a day keeps the 5g away
