What are the best, modern bulk teks I should read?

When I first started growing, I tried a monotub setup and failed big time. So then I honed in on my craft and started using agar and started doing the bottle tek (invitro style) thanks to MudaFuka and now only 2-3% of my bottles ever experience contamination.
However, the bottles are a bit cumbersome and I know I can pressure cook 2-2.5 more grain if I used bags instead of bottles. And I'm guessing it will be overall easier than pressure cooking dozens of bottles (Right?).
The only issue is... if I have a monotub get contaminated, that's a shitload of grain lost (as opposed to bottles that are each an isolated instance so contamination is limited to a small amount at a time). So I know there's a ton of teks, but there's so much old information and I don't want to waste time with the wrong stuff, I need to be steered the right way. What would you guys refer me to?

You could always just fruit from the bags like this dude does https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26024225

Depends what your classification of bulk is. some of s run over 100#s of grain a week.

Thats the method I've been playing with lately. Basically the same technique Buddaking lays out in the melmak thread. Easy set up, even easier clean up.

Fahst and Genghis Chron, thank you for this lead. The bag tek is very interesting and looks easy and seems like it would have many benefits, such as saving space and isolating contamination to smaller instances. I have a question though on saving time.
Right now I am used to doing...
Agar -> Make some Liquid Inoculant -> Splash it into pressure cooked bottles full of Oats+Coir+Verm-> They colonize and I eventually fruit them loaded in a big tub with the lids removed off the bottles.
If I go the bag route, I would be doing...
Agar -> Make LI -> Splash it into pressure cooked bottles full of Oats to make Grain Spawn -> Wait for it to colonize -> Prepare coir + mix the grain spawn with it in the bag -> Wait for it to colonize and fruit in the bag.
It would be fantastic if I could make this bag-tek more efficient by removing the step where you need to mix the grain spawn with the substrate, and instead just have that all done together from the start and inoculate the bag with the LI and have it colonize and fruit. I suppose the issue there is contamination? (It's not as easy to pour LI into a tall bag like that in a SAB, I take it. Or is there something else that's an issue? Or is there an easier way to inoculate a bag? I'm just curious to see if that step can be saved.
Thanks in advance.

You can make a ton of LC and inoculate through a self healing port on bags.. blue helix does that https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27072302/page/1. Apparently itβs what weβre all suppose to be doing lol
