What to do with all this sorghum flour and rabbit feed?
    #27052417 - 11/22/20 03:13 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

First of all, I'd like to thank the community for all the wonderful advice. I am throwing out far less stuff than I was when I was getting all my info from youtube.

On to my question...
I have a 50 pound bag of rabbit pellets from when I purchased the wrong kind at the feed store (it seems the bunnies only eat the finest of organics). I've also got about 23 pounds of sorghum flour that my wife bought a couple years ago. Seriously, WTF was I going to do with with a 25 pound bag of sorghum flour?

Anyway, I was hoping for some suggestions on using these ingredients for mushroom growing. In addition to the good stuff, I'm growing lion's mane, shitake, and maitake.

From searching the site, the ideas I've come up with are using the sorghum for PF tek (ugh) and adding 5% rabbit pellets to the oak/rice hull substrate I am using for the culinary mushrooms. It has occurred to me that using that stuff might be more trouble than it's worth, but I hate to throw usable stuff away.

I've actually also got a big bag of whole kernel feed corn that I suppose I could use as grain spawn, but I am sticking to WBS for now. But if anyone has any other idea on a good use for that, I'd be happy to hear it.

Thanks for your help.

I'm no expert but if I were in your shoes I'd use the flour for the PF tek and then instead of birthing the cakes I'd used them as spawn in a shoebox.

Here's a link for reference

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try after I finish off this bag of WBS.

The pellets are (probably) alfalfa, which is a pretty rich feed. Giving too much of it to horses can cause problems with their feet. It molds like a MF when it gets damp too. I'd say mulch it or give it away.

Any natural oils in the flour have undoubtedly gone rancid by now. Not good for cooking, but could probably be a substitute for BRF.

The feed corn could probably be used for grain spawn, but corn isn't really favored for that. It has high volume and low surface area. It would be good for making moonshine though. Or for growing more feed corn.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The bag of rabbit food is new and unopened, so I just gave it away on Craigslist.

Maybe I will actually try making some moonshine from the corn, I actually do have an 8 gallon still and haven't ever used corn.

I inherited the still from my father-in-law who, ironically, drank himself to death before ever using it. I made rum and brandy, mostly for tinctures.  My wife grows all kinds herbs... basically everything I needed to distill some absinthe. Good absinthe is quite expensive, and mine turned out really, really well. I remember thinking, "this is so awesome, I can have tasty absinthe almost for free! Now I can always have some around."

Then I got hammered on absinthe every night for a month. I put the still in the attic and haven't used it since.

Anyway...thanks for the ideas.

Mushboy, I've read a ton of your posts cruising through the forum. I've enjoyed reading what you've had to say. Thanks for all the quality content.
