Munchauzen said: get feed for race horses. they don't fuck around with the quality of that. shit is sparkling clean and always the best quality
I've gone to great lengths trying to find decent quality grain, but I gave up long ago. The oats I can get is some shit from hell btw. I asked the guy at the feed store... he says the grain he gets is a mix of (the worst) grain from different farmers. My guess is it's just the leftover grain that nobody wants and they sell it for very cheap to the bunch of feed stores in my city.
Grain seems to get worse every passing year, must be the old shit from the bottom of the pile, old and dirty af. When I see people here saying the PC kills all endospores without exception, I think to myself "yeah try my shit and tell me, bitch".
Barley is the only grain I can use locally. Don't know what's up with it that it doesn't give me that much trouble and it's a tough grain that I like. Far from clean, but at least usable.
I've heard good things about Racehorse quality oats, as was mentioned, but I've found that SEED quality is the best for the money. You might have to buy more than 50#, but it's worth it. I found that it isnt as expensive as the Racehorse stuff, believe it or not. The way it was explained to me from a farmer was, they pull seed quality out first, then the food grade, then premium feed..then the rest goes to bulk feed, which is the dusty, dirty funky shit you find sometimes. Feed stores ususally have 'seed' quality available if you ask. If not, they're boshie, and find another shop.
Again, that's my experience. Mileage may vary.
I buy Agri Master? Oats I think? They're ok but not super clean. I used to rinse them before the boil but don't anymore. Once they're in the drying racks and I'm stirring them around every 20 minutes or so all the small particles fall through the screen. If there's obvious straw or weird shit in there I'll pick it out while stirring but I'm not meticulous about it. Mushrooms grow in shit.

I do NSNS, so I've def never plucked anything out. To honest, I noticed more flack in the millet than oats. I didnt catch it until after I cooked one time, but I had what looked like a branch in the jar. It was probably a lot smaller and shrunk when I was loading. I assumed it fucked my moisture and I pitched it. That was the only time something drastic like that showed up..

Just wanted to monitor this thread.
But here is one of my favorite jars where I learned to make cookies and cream. Want a taste?

And here is some beautiful "blue juice" wherein I discovered a great way to convert 117 grams wet of PE fruit into about a 1 gram effective dose of weak assed liquid. But it was blue.

Hey Mush My sig has the story, but it was a cold extraction instead of a tea. It may have just gotten weak because I left it in the fridge for a couple of weeks before I had the opportunity to test it. Blue juice cold extraction trial
Tea is definately the way to go. I have not made tea from fresh yet, but plan to do the next flush that way and try making dosed ice cubes for saving it.

Yea the fridge let's it oxidize, I add lime or lemon juice to try and help that.
Not to mention the light probably damages the actives every time you open the fridge

I was about to say that
Blue looks cool for sure, but i think its less potent (ofc almost all potency estimates are subjective)
If you add a couple of grams of vitamin c to your tea, it wont turn blue (actives wont oxidize into pigment-like compounds as readily in an acidic environment

9 bags of rye to a shit LC.
Totally my fault. Should've tested it first, but "I Was Sure!" it was good...lol. last time I make that fucking bonehead move again..
Wonderful mold culture though! Stellar!!

So I have quart jars that have taken over a month to colonize because of poor GE and 'cause I only used a tiny piece of agar to inoculate. Well, the jars have finally started to reach 100% and I decided to do G2G transfers to three 3.5 qt grain bags
The first two transfers turned out fine. The third one I thought was my best, with the cleanest, fastest movements (I do this in an SAB) and figured this would be my best bag. So I figure I'm done and am getting ready to get bags out of the SAB. I pick up the last bag and grains just start POURING OUT from the bottom
I had read about bags possibly "melting" in the PC, but so far it hadn't happened to me and I thought I'd taken precautions to prevent that. Well, apparently not. That spawn jar looked real clean, I was so distraught that that was the one that broke. It couldn't have broken when I took it out of the PC and into the SAB. Nooo, it had to happen after I'd already committed my spawn jar
My fault for not thoroughly inspecting the integrity of the bags before starting. Lesson learned
