Well I shot them up with some LC, so I guess we will see. Next time I will shoot for ever less wet grains.

I waited about 4 hours after PC when they felt almost room temp. Was that enough wait time?

I keep shaking them until all the moisture is reabsorbed after I pull them out of the PC then inoculate. I don't want to shake them but once after I inoculate and if there is still moisture all over the place I'd either have to keep shaking it or just let it sit there and pray I don't see bacteria blooming. Of course if your grains go into the PC too wet there may be no amount of shaking and redistributing moisture to get it all back into the grains afterwards. Normally it takes me a bit longer than 4 hours out of the PC to periodically shake the grains and get all the moisture reabsorbed

Well, I am hopeful. In the meantime, I will make some more grains and try to get them even drier for the other 6 jars I have :p

I find that bod's tek asks them to be boiled a little long for my taste. Too many burst grains. I got how I do mine in my sig, I still get some burst grain, but not too bad :thumbup:




I followed a wheat tek that needed the cook time to be reduced quite a bit. My suspicion is that a grain's moisture out of the bag perhaps varies between distributors, regions, brands, seasons, retailers etc. enough to affect the prep.

I thought this looked too dry after the PC, but guess it isn't. :mushroom:

That looks juicy. Monitoring the process and getting a look and feel for the finished/perfect grains is essential. There will always be variables that will require some tweaking to the steps as you go but the end result should never change
