Most efficient or creative ways to BULK boil and dry grains?
    #27055618 - 11/24/20 02:25 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Curious about teks for boiling/soaking grain and drying it at a larger scale. Finally have my own place and thinking of making a dedicated grow room for gourmet and edibles.

I used to simmer grains in a pot and/or pour boiling water into a bucket of grains for 25-40 minutes.

For drying, I'd just dump them into a colander or screen.

I imagine this wouldn't be very scalable however. For example, when I'd accidentally simmer too much grain, it'd take so long to dry afterwards since I couldn't spread them out thin enough. The top layer would be dry but the middle and bottom would still be pretty moist. A fan helped but only marginally.


Wondering what you all do or have seen the professionals do

I use a 4x4' frame I made over my kitchen island which is larger.
The frame has steel screen.

I prep my WBS using a tek I can't remember at the moment.
Goes like this.

Fill my huge giganticfuck stock pot 3/4 with water.
Get it boiling like a motherfucker.
Dump in my WBS/lil gypsum.
Cover it and move off heat.

Come back in an hour and pour it into a 5 gallon bucket sitting in my sink thats got a fuckload of holes drilled in the bottom/bottom sides.
Rinse the piss out of it for awhile.

Once water stops dripping from it I lift the bucket and dump it on my screen.
Scoop into jars and PC no need to wait for them to dry, been perfect. Screen lets any remaining water drain onto the towels or newspaper I put underneath.

I can do 25kg of WBS real quick. The danger is if I'm not PCing fast enough the shit on the bottom will dry out or mold.

for jars you can skip the simmer and soak and put water and grain directly in jars. 445 ml of grain and 145 ml of water works for WBS. i havent tried it with larger grains.

If you’re using jars I’d absolutely go with the no prep and just figure out what ratio water is optimal fo yo grain. Fuck all the nonsense if you don’t need to deal with it. I personally use 275g WBS, 145g water per qt.

If you’re using bags though I’ve heard no prep doesn’t do so well so you may have to soak or simmer. My only advice there would be to do something to get the grain mostly hydrated and then load wet and allow that extra water to finish the hydrating. That way you don’t have to mess with drying grains before loading them up.

No need to rinse or simmer all myths. Just boil grains until there good then dry and bag and sterilize. Try it. Works for my buddy who does 200+ tubs. As long as your spawn and sterile tek is on point your spawn will come out fine.
