I have only found oats. I pour ~8-10lb in a pot, add water, crank the heat till it boils, turn heat to low for a while, strain, air dry overnightish, then load and PC for 2 or more hours. Easy AF and i pay ~$16/50lb

Oats are $10.85 50lbs tax and all here.
Really easy prep as well.

As far as getting back into it,after coming back from a long break('05-'17),I have noticed that there were alot of unnecessary steps and procedures back then.
Nowadays,I subscribe to keep it simple.
Find an updated tek and follow it.
If you have experience with the PF tek and are still intimidated by agar and grain(I know I was)you can use your cakes as the spawn for bulk projects,and get the feel for it before jumping in.

12/12 lighting has been shown beneficial to mycelium through all stages of growth from spore to spent

Dark colonization period with restricted FAE is outdated

Liners don't prevent side pins, proper surface conditions do

Many of us fruit from spawn in unmodified tubs with the lid flipped for FAE, with better and faster results than with standard monotub configuration

SHOEBOXES ARE THE SHIT!

Updated information on anything else you may need

Always use lights

Saves me some effort! Then at least I don't have to wrap anything with garbage bags anymore 

Edit: so I also don't have to limit FAE during sub colonization either? Won't it start pinning early?

Sometimes coir doesnt colonize fully, and still fruits fine. I actually think i get better flushes when the top layer isnt colonized.
