I get it at 49c in bulk bins at WinCo. If you don't have one in the area check anywhere with bulk bins.

Where are y'all getting wheat and for how much?



Local feed store since I live in cattle country, a 50lb bag of wheat cost me $13-15 and a 50lb bag of white millet is like $11-13.. Usually grab a bag of each for right around $25

I confess, I've JUST told my boss that I'm going to need to start taking Tuesday's and Thursday's off to keep up with orders for colonized grain spawn and sawdust blocks, and that I understood if he had to let me go... he said he needed me this week, and would figure out what to do beyond that... I feel guilty, and he looked deflated (I'm his bread and butter) but it's such a weight off my shoulders! Now I can devote more of my time to my obsession/passion/purpose... if the gourmets take off, I'll have to tell him I'm done; but he said he couldn't fault a man for bettering himself, and I'm sure he sees it coming...The hard part of the transition is over! HOLY SHIT I FEEL GREAT!

Also,

Had my first APE tea this weekend... WOW! I said to myself "this is far superior to anything I'VE grown... wait, I DID grow it!" Lol... I did 4g, and an hour in, ate a chocolate peanut butter square with an 1/8 of RW in it... it was warm enough to sit outside comfortably, and  I really enjoyed myself... APE felt ...  cleaner? Lol, more informational perhaps... not as visual as I'd've thought, but once the RW started taking hold: WOOF! Great combination!

You Can do it JJ!

Hi, so I've been away for a week because, honestly I've been in too much pain to type much, so outside necessity I've put it off.

I confess... I thought I could push my pressure caner gasket further than it could go. When I bought the caner I thought the gasket was a little loose, but the person who I bought it from assured me they had "replaced the gasket with a new one within the last year."

So, while firing up the pressure caner I got it up to the point where it was just venting for 10 min. As some of you know I just moved, and my kitchen was still new to me. I just moved the last of my boxes the night before, and I had hurt my back a little, it was tight. So, I come into the kitchen, set the timer for 10 min, then decide to adjust the caner a little as it wasn't centered on the burner and...

BOOSH! All a sudden my glasses are covered in steam, I can't see anything, I feel steam everywhere and I realize that very bad things have just happened. I don't feel the pain right away and think I've escaped somehow unscalded. Then I realize that my clothes are soaking wet... and that water is super hot.

So basically everywhere that the steam hit was soaked in hot water and anywhere that water touched scalded the shit out of me. I got "Moderate Superficially deep tissue burns," aka nasty second degree burns. My stomach got the worst of it, my shirt clung to it and just burnt the shit out of me. My wrists got it second worst, then followed by my fingers. I spent the first 6+ hours just running shit under cold water and changing cold compresses. It was hell. I finally went to a Dr. after 4 days when shit was still in constant pain. I'm better now, but still low mobility from bandages on my fingers.

So, I'm "spoiler"ing these shots because they're pretty gross, you've been warned.

Here is the progress of my stomach burn. This is 6 days of progress. The order is Day 0, Day 2, Day 6:


I didn't take a lot of pictures of my hands, but here is day 5, when they stopped being in constant pain:


So... learn from me being a fucking idiot and not checking in on what a loose gasket means. It means a lot of fucking pain (also it wouldn't pressurize, which... yeah). I think what happened is that when I moved the caner that I locked up a little since my back was hurting and it sloshed the water just enough to blast steam out around the "gasket" seal.

CHANGE YOUR FUCKING GASKETS KIDS!!!

It was pretty terrifying. The next two days after I was convinced I'd be a mass of hideous scars... I've since learned I just barely didn't burn myself bad enough for long term scaring. I should take about 1-3 month before things are starting to look "normal-ish" then up to a year before I can't see where it happened anymore. This bikini bod is going to be pre-burned :frown:

The pain is gone now at least, it's all just sensitivity. So, that's good. Took almost 8 days to stop being in constant pain tho.

Glad you're OK Shaper.
I'm terrified of something like that happening.It's like 3hrs of anxiety every time I clamp the lid on the PC.
Hope you recover without too much pain.:super:

Yup, same lol. Someone had to go first! I was embarrassed as fuck to talk about it, so I imagine there's been other small incidents no one talked about.

My PC is from the 1940s and this is what I get for insisting on a vintage aesthetic, and also trusting sellers to be honest about what they have.

But yeah, I figured it would be a good reminder to show people these things can fuck you up if you don't do good maintenance on your equipment. A very painful learning experience.

EDIT: Thanks for the well wishes ya'll. The pain is finally gone as of a couple days ago. In case you're curious, if this happens to you it'll be 5-7 days of pretty much constant pain and poor sleep, and I didn't even get hit directly with the steam (well not really).

Bummer! What kind of cooker is it? Can you give more clarity to the definition of "loose gasket"?

I've had one but all that happened was I took the lid off my presto while there was a little bit of pressure in it. I was boiling water to  cook grain. Well anyways I pushed the safety pressure valve down so I could spin the lid. Well as soon as I spun that lid to line up the 2 arrows the lid pushed up and a bunch of boiling water over flowed and I wasn't wearing shoes so I burned the hell out of my feet. Not as bad as yours by any stretch but still made my heart jump when it happened.  And burned my feet :facepalm:
