24 Hour Soak, No Simmer Whole Oat & Milo Questions
    #27101885 - 12/22/20 12:28 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hey Everyone,

Recently I've started going just straight 24 hour soak for my grain with a 5-10 minute strain time.  I then load the bags or jars and let the excess moisture of the grains get soaked up during the PC cycle.  This method was popularized by Eric Myers with Myers Mushrooms and Mossy Creek Mushrooms also uses this technique.  Now I know this method works for gourmet mushroom spawn , but I just had a few cube bags lost to contams and now I'm not feeling as confident that this method works for cubes. 

The idea is that a 24 hour soak gets the grains close, but not perfect moisture content.  Rather then letting the outsides of the grains dry through steaming off or waiting, you load right after the grains stop dripping in your strainer.  As the grains sterilize, they absorb that remaining excess water and within a few hours after the PC, the grains are at their optimal moisture content.

I like this method as it allows me to skip the simmer step which is very valuable for time saving. It seems to have been working well, but these recent contam'd bags are making me worried that skipping the simmer might not be the right choice for my consumer bought bags.  I do have some bags that are colonizing just fine.. and I might just need to wait a bit longer and see if it was just a few unlucky bags.  I just don't know and it's bumming me out.  Also there really isn't much information about skipping the simmer, but keeping the soak so please don't bash me for posting.  I'm here to learn!  Thanks guys.

Dude what are you talking about? Literally none of my posts share a company name in an advertising fashion.  I reference companies names in the industry for detail purposes only and so people can better understand my post.  I edited out "my company" to make you feel better.  If that's even what you are referring to.  Acting as if any of these are advertising posts is laughable.  Get off your high horse.  Or, stay on it if putting people down is what gets you off.

I should be able to reach out for help when I can't find answers in the search bar and not feel ostracized for doing so.  You are the worst kind of person.
