Starting grains advice
    #25155578 - 04/21/18 02:40 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

Was wondering what everyone’s favorite grain is to use. I’m planning on starting grains after I get some agar going and just wanted your guyses opinions. What’s your favorite grain and why? Maybe some pros and cons of each grain.

Wbs with fooman Tek http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5265629/fpart/all/vc/1

Easy as fuck, quick, works well.

I fill my pressure cooker a little more than the height of a quart jar lid standing up, bring to boil, throw in my jars of wbs, take off burner, replace pressure cooker lid, let sit an hour, pour in strainer and rinse, load jars, pressure cook.

Easy as fuck. Entire process with a 2 hour pressure cook takes me 3-4 hours with a lot of downtime sitting around

I also use wild Finch seed from nature's song and not wbs. Expensive but it's super clean and way easier to use, higher nute contents, not sure how much difference it makes.

From what I gather it seems whole oats are relatively easy and cheap, BOD's Easy AF Oat prep TEK is is a great starting place in my opinion.  :smile:

I use whatever's cheapest. Right now oats are winning.

I've tried most (except millet, which i really want to try for grain masters but its super expensive for me) - i always go back to rye as i get really good stuff and can prep it with my eyes closed.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I’ll probably start with wbs or oats. Will be looking around my area for what’s cheapest and make my decision after looking at the prep teks. Will be making jars for when the time comes. Also going to start agar  on Monday and get some more brf cakes going for the heck of it.

Depends on a few different factors from person to person.  Such as:

-Availability
-Price
-Quality
-Preparation Time/Ease

What works for others, may or may not work well for you.

You plan to do agar before grain or syringe to grain first?

I personally had a horrible ke experience sttemtoting syringe to wbs myself.

Lots and lots and lots of wasted jars, time,

That is basically luck of the draw. Pasty went agar because his syringes were shit too. For me, I was doing MS > grains for like 2 years before trying out agar. Now I do it like all the time. :laugh:

If agar is too intimidating, nothing wrong with gambling, but really, if you can get the supplies (agar and light malt extract), it's easy as balls to make.

Yeah I've read people report success and I'm just like :what:

Literally just saw each of my runs end in Demise along with my hopes of travel :lol:

Lucky I had one jar out of like 21 or 28 luckily survived g2g to give me some amazing genetics and pinset from Ms in my first ever bulk attempt in shoebox's. Victory was mine :lol:

Yeah, I already have all the supplies to make Pasty plates. I’ve made some in the past just never used them. Going to stay motivated this time though, seeing how much better grains are has got me wanting to go the agar route. I might also just try a couple jars with a syringe and see if I can get a master jar going.

Word.

Grains have been much much much better to me than cakes.

For sure! Cakes are still pretty good in themselves. Simple for me now.

I read a couple teks and I think I’ll be going with Foo Man’s WBS Tek. Might mess around with some oats too just to try it out. Thanks again guys for the advice, super stoked to be working on something new!

I have great luck with MS to grain as long as I use a print from a trusted person and make the syringe myself or order from the one vendor I actually trust. It's how I've always started if I don't have any culture. I knock up a grain jar and a couple petris at the same time.
