Locations for buying bulk rye berries affordable?
    #26877584 - 08/12/20 09:24 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I’m getting back into the hobby and I won’t lie, I bought sterilized bags to use. Then I started trolling this forum again and I’m hooked again to the hobby. Went a bit overboard just buying all the supplies at once including the use of agar. Got everything ready to go, getting my super full spores from a trusted vendor and I can’t wait. My question is I used to use WBS but I really want to use rye berries. I’ve been amazon hunting for a lot of stuff but the prices on amazon are rediculous. I figured I could go to Whole Foods but I want a 50lb bag. Any suggestions  of where I can get the bulk quantity for a reasonable price? I’m in Texas, I tried tractor supply and picked up a 50lb of whole oats. I want options to play around with and continue to learn. I’ve been searching a lot and I’m ready to get growing and hopefully can provide some nice pictures.

Just use whatever you can get reasonably cheap. At the end of the day, it does not really matter what you use, they are all equally good. You can also try wheat or millet.

Yeah that’s the thing I’ve been having trouble sourcing, I’ve got a huge phone list to call around some feed shops to see if they carry it. Also going to be checking health food stores. I was also looking at mullet as well, I want to try a few different things and keep track of the grows.

Edit:
Found a place online for $31 for 50lbs and the shipping cost was $2.66. They use local drop off points and there is one 15min from my home. I think that’s a reasonable deal. Sorry should’ve searched the interweb harder lol. That was the last question I’ll have until grow time. Probably won’t do a grow log, I’m going to be rusty as fuck... unless it goes really well then I’ll be excited to share lol. 13 years is a long time.

Why don’t you use another grain that is easier to find and cheaper?

I used to be dead set on rye berries too until I found “Milo” Also know as “Sorghum”

It is soooooo much better, if you think about it, for so many reasons.

1. Much much cheaper, a 50 pound bag $14 (rounded up actually $13 and change)
2. The grains are much much smaller which means there is much more exposed surface area in turn making many more colonization points so whenever you spawn with Milo everything will colonize much faster
3. Much much easier to find

Idk about you guys but that’s enough to switch...

A 50 pound bag of rye, at a good price is around $80 per 50lbs and that’s again a good price, usually most places will charge more.

Ha and not to mention when you buy smaller bags... It’ll come out much more expensive.

Some people wild bird seed which contains some milo but that stuff is messy and in my opinion gross.

This I am talking about is just “Sorghum” by it self.

Then rinse and dump till the water is clean, then add some gypsum and bring to a boil, once boiling start a timer for 5 minutes, then once the timer is up strain all the water and shake around in colindar to get as much steam to evaporate as possible then do the toilet paper test, the same way RR teaches in his videos with rye.

And that’s it. Sterilize as if it were rye.

I get my Milo from a local animal feed store near my house but sometimes Walmart.com has 50lb bags for around the same price with free

Just google search

Oh yeah I definitely get where you are coming from but I want to try various different grains which includes rye. I have my whole oats, I was also going to pick up some WBS, and I’ll look into others as well, millet looks interesting. As for the price I just ordered 50lbs for $32 shipped which is not half bad! I’m not hung up on it, I just want to experiment as this is mainly a hobby and not a production plant lol. I have no life outside of work so I need something to keep me occupied. Through researching these last couple weeks I have some ideas I want to try which may be total bs and suck hard, but doesn’t everyone always say just try it and see if it works? That’s how progress is made. I’m just starting small tests to get back in my groove and dial my tubs in, then I will be going out and trying different approaches. But $32 for 50lb bag of rye isn’t too shabby compared to what I’ve read. I didn’t find anything with less that $50 shipping except for this one site I found by using the search bar.

Lemos has the best WBS, and I'm also looking to try rye berries.  I did a search and no joke I believe wal mart sells organic 10 pound bags! I'm going to check and see tomorrow.

Hmm I’ll have to check that out, I honestly can’t recall seeing them there, maybe in the pharmacy department or in the baking aisle in grocery! I’m a Walmart manager we have some random shit. Can also look in the gluten free section.

Yeah I’ve been looking around locally, have a list of people to call but I decided after the amount of driving around I needed to do the order I place saves me the gas lol. Small premium to get my supplies in fast. Going forward I’ll have plenty of materials where I can take my time and properly source more affordable resources. My syringes come in Friday, agar comes in Thursday, going to inoculate 3 bags, make a few agar dishes and transfer while I wait for my bags to colonize. Prep 7 oat jars, 7 rye berry from agar to grain. Hopefully get 3-4 tubs going. Isolate a clone to agar, and you know keep working lol. But gives me time to find the right places to penny pincher. Normally I’m a cheap bastard but supply costs have jumped due to covid. Plus I’m working 6 days a week 14 hour days, only have one day a week to find these supplies lol.
