Here's the angle: start a YouTube channel where you disavow all the elitist shit that you were involved in at the Shroomery, call this place a cult, and then promote a "hybrid" UB method. Maybe add a sketchy LC prep step, and encourage people to buy Wal-Mart brand rice. Rebrand it as "Great Value TEK." Rake in the cash with affiliate links to crappy overpriced equipment.
You mean like caprisun tek? Where you inject the spores into a caprisun pacific cooler pouch to make LC?

The water content of stuff like this can be estimated by looking at the nutritional content, or by weighing a small amount and heating it until bone dry.
I did canned sweetcorn, I put it in containers and microwaved it to both reduce the water content and steam the container itself. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4039905 Stephen L. Peele claimed to just use canned corn with no adjustment.
Loads of stuff like this was done before, people still seem to think it is a relatively new idea to use retort rice pouches.
this thread is over 18 years old using trader joe pouches, in it I was saying I tried UB a while before. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4177651
Here are some kidney beans and peas I did just experimenting, again microwaving to drive moisture off.

Definitely didn’t think I was the first one to try it. There’s nothing new under the Sun, as they say.
Just one of those things I’ve always wanted to try to see if I could grow mush with it. It’s pretty low hanging fruit as it’s already hydrated sterile grain you can buy at the grocery store.
Not sure I’d want to put claim to UBtek tho jk

Yeah, it's cool to experiment and see what's possible, but being a pioneer with microwaveable rice bags is kind of like being those Berkeley students who developed the recipe for making crack lol

I am not claiming anything either, I imagine Peele and others were growing on persterilized grain back in the 70s, nothing new about it as you say too. There are several versions of UB, just like several PF teks. I am not sure if any are considered the definitive UB. I was asking a previous poster for a link as I have absolutely no doubt I could offer increased chances of it working, -some people are going to try it regardless, so they should at least make some attempt to increase chances.
I remember when sporeworks were selling presterilized bags, some especially formulated with sclerotia in mind.
I was saying before it would be good if some vendors offered "extra clean" spores, people presume to know how they all do it. I have grown out shrooms in sealed heat treated bags without them even been opened, manipulating them and printing on the inside of the bags then injecting water and sucking out spores.
A 250g retort pouch of rice is 48cent for me. Wholegrains are typically quite expensive for me, many only in overpriced health shops. The idea of driving to some remote animal feed store and getting 20kg sacks of grain would not make sense to many, some people only want 1 dose every few years. Canned corn and pasta are also cheap where I live, sometimes down to supemarket "price wars". If somebody lived in a country where alcohol was illegal and just wanted to get drunk once a year they can buy apple juice and bread yeast in a supermarket and have it in a week, I expect a few big into brewing and/or distillation would probably be sneering, looking at all the fancy equipment they own, and remarking how expensive apple juice is since they press whole apples they get from some farmer by the half ton!
I microwaved to drive moisture off, verm or coir could be added to out of the can grains to soak up the excess

Damn things came out sterile… so close not something I’d try again
But I have a pretty effective way to get clean (enough) prints that I use today… works very well https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27278816

Blackout, the most referenced UB Tek is hosted on Reddit. If you're interested it can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/unclebens/comments/el1da3/part_1_how_mushrooms_and_mycelium_grow/
I would like to see how you would improve it, even if it was just a thought experiment. Cheers.

I'm not going to do UB Tek, but blackout said that he could improve it. I would like to learn from him, that's all.

I think you could reasonably improve on the “established tek” by using a good LC and using a red hot needle to penetrate the bag.
But if you can make clean LC you’re already so far past the point of UB that it would be a waste of your time in every way.

Don't do it. I think they changed the ingredients in capri-sun juice pouches to have monk fruit with less sugar since last year, in the US anyway... Just use apple or coconut water for the juice or something. Or, just make your own LC broth, lol.
