My rye berries look dry...
    #26915927 - 09/03/20 04:20 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I made some rye berry spawn.  Now its looking kinda dry. The gypsum is chalky on the wall of the jar.  Some of the berries look wet, but most look kinda dry.

Do I add a bit of moisture and inoculate or just start over?

My TEK:
Rinsed food-grade rye
Soaked berries 18 hr
Drained, added new water
Boiled 20 min
Strained, added gypsum
Dried 2 hours open, then 10 hours covered to limit evaporation
Jarred and pressure cooked 90 min

I ate a few berries that spilled and they were fairly soft and not necessarily dry.

Don't add anything, just inoculate them in sterile conditions, they're probably fine if you did what you said there.

Photos of your jars showing what you have would help.

Yes, that rye is looking dry af but don't go adding moisture nowhere, that's a terrible idea. Just start over.

You don't want to add dry gypsum before jarring up because it's going to soak up a lot of moisture from the grains during the cycle. Best moment to add the gypsum is during the soak, although you can skip the gypsum altogether because it is not necessary at all.

I'm not sure what you meant here but it sounds like something that would help dry out the grains further.
