Beefs Wheat Tek


EDIT 2/13/25

As is my custom, I'm updating again. As per Phenyl's comment at the end of this thread, I tried a batch on the drier side. I don't mean I dried it more, I mean i cooked it less.  As someone who is ALWAYS open to suggestion and willing to change, I found that it worked fucking great. Even less bursting, obviously, more breakability, same colonizing time. I love it, so this is how I'm doing it now.  I cook until maybe 25% of the grain still has that white looking endospore, but its still chewy.  I chew a few kernels always to make sure. If its crunchy, it needs more time. Just at that chewy point is where I'm finding the new gold. Amazing. Heres the best pictures I could possibly take of it.  I'm not going to update the whole thread with the newer pics because I think it still works fine with the more saturated kernels, but I do think the product is nicer with less cook time.



Glad this worked out for you. I was on meth when I wrote that, and many other comments on this website, so I'm happy it worked out for once haha

In my dumb testing my results suggest tentatively that (my) wheat can become a bit waterlogged and cause mycelium to stress out a la bacterial grain if it's really pushed to the limit

oh yeah I'm good turns out I'm not tougher than amphetamines but no harm done I didn't end up in the psych ward or jail just some weird forum posts and questionable fashion choices. I don't want to derail your thread but thanks for asking

Been having problems with wheat, your tek is perfect the whole rinsing it off after it cooks and then drying it again over a long period of time thing, instead of letting the hot steanm just evaporate and dry quickly pisses me off a bit... but I am sure it probably works... I might try to get myself to give this a try as around here we are limited in options. I ordered millet special but I like to use it as an intermediary to a bulkier grain... innoc a small pp cup of millet then use that to inoculate rye (No Rye in Peru yet this season) so wheat but I hate stickyness in my grain spawn with a passion. I don't want to touch it! I want to sprinkle it from my jar... I have been using barey mostly. Most reliable of everything that is cheap and available but not the most nutrtious so I am hoping to millet to wheate to sub... seriously I never used a faster technique than that... fucking rinsing the hot grains with cold water to then have to dry that water slowly.  Grrr alright I will try it! It will probably work great and if it does I will be doing it a lot which sucks all those extra drying times are going to add up... thank you

anything worth doing is worth doing right.  i also hate sticky grains which is why we rinse it after cooking.  it really doesnt take long to dry in my dry climate--especially on the herb dryer-- but maybe its more damp in peru.  perhaps use a fan to move the air around?

yoshi no prep is a lot faster than this, but it does a quick dirty job where the bottom half of the jar is soggy and slimy.  does it work? heck yeah! its brilliant but its not how i do things.

Pillow cases work great for drying grains. I turn them inside out so the grains don't get stuck in the seams, then lay them out outside if I can or on a towel inside. Flip them a couple of times. I can boil wheat in the morning and pressure cook by evening with this method.

The pillow case acts as a wick and absorbs the excess moisture, adding a fan to blow across the pillow case helps the process, the towel acts as secondary wick. I roll the grains around in the case a few different times then kind of spread them relatively thin inside the pillow case (make them case flat)

🤔

In essence Tek we're trying to keep it at juuuust gelatinization Temperature and cook it until it's fully done. Kinda counter to many others but it makes a ton of sense.

For wheat starch that's 60 - 75°C /140 - 165 f so a if you use a thermometer, immersion circulator or crockpot it'd take the vibes out of it.

Glad I just came across this. I planned a grain run this week and I’ve been having some issues with inconsistencies, so I’m gonna give this a go.
