They can wait. They’ll turn back into mycelium.

I soak my wbs overnight or for up to 24 hours, strain it, put it back in a big stock pot, boil water in another pot, pour it in the pot with the wbs and let it sit for no more than 30 minutes, pour all that into the strainer, then pour that onto pans lined with paper shopping bags or newspaper about 1/2 inch thick.  Then I point a box fan at it and periodically turn the grain until the outside is dry.  Only then do I jar and PC at 15 psi for 2 hours.

I like to be DAMN SURE my grain isn’t the problem.

Damn, poured boiling water on millet, let sit for 30 and like a 5th of it looked like mashed potatoes it was so starchy and burst. I’m super good at fucking up simple procedure

My 2 cents for the WBS convo:
I don't soak anymore, the reason is: after the 12th hour foam appears at the surface: meaning the fermentation process started, I don't like the perfume in the house and don't fancy the idea of feeding the precious sugars to yeast and bacteria and not my future fruits.
I do a kind of flash-prep x3: the dry WBS goes to a mesh bag. I blast it with boil water from the kettle and let it sit for 15min; repeat 3 times: hang the bag, flush the water and blast with new boiling kettle water and sit for another 15min - so I'm also doing a hot rinse. After these 45min and 3 blasts/rinses, I hang the steaming bag for 30ish minutes draining and I load the jars wet. The remaining water is reabsorbed during the PC cycle.

This also works for straight millet.
