What could you use 200lbs of rye berries for?

Legal uses only
I order 50 pound bags as it is from a health food store and have claimed them to be for mycology experiments the only two times I've been asked but I'm not only wary of using the excuse again but I'd like to order like 200 pounds (2 hour round trip to get it and have to do it twice, one to place order and put down deposit and one to pick it up) next time. The 50 pound bag only lasts me about a month so I'd like to get 3 or 4 at a time. Just can't think of a reason why. I'm not sure what rye berries are used for except mushrooms or what I could be doing with large amounts of them. I figured the creative minds here might have a nice excuse. I don't care about it being far out but I need something hehe.

Everyone needs a good cover story. At least to make one's self feel safer.

I'm veering off topic a little here, but I hate it when cashiers ask what you're "going to be doing" with the stuff. What are you, an agent of Big Brother? I'm going to be buying it, and you're going to be selling it to me.
I wouldn't mind it if I was buying stuff in large quantities that could clearly be made into a bomb, but what I decide to do with my single can of lighter fluid, canning jars, and lye is my business. And heck, let's just throw some road flares in there to make you be more unprofessional and intrusive. Grrrrrrrrr...

just tell them that you have a pet pig, or that you are an eccentric artist working on a project.
Both great openers for the hothealth food chick too.

if you tell them you're gay it's an instant arreaction...
the best reason to have 200lbs of rye is 'cover cropping' especialy if you buy it in the winter

Love the ideas. I hate being asked but I know they're just being curious. I just like to have something to ease there curiousity then just ummm. Also the gourmet and medicinal was just a little to close to home. All the others are good though I think I'll use the cover crop..thats lots of berries..
I've been likeing the huge flushes I've been getting off of rye grass though. To bad its a bigger hassle to work with. Maybe I'll be planting cover crops of that soon though

I went to a feed store the other day to buy syringes and gave the guy my phone # so he could call me when he got rye in...He asked me what i was feeding and just told him i was a amatuer mycologist. I got some really nice syringes for $1 apiece that had cool ass plastic covers which are gonna be nice when sending syringes to friends

I like your mom sent me Unfortunatly Massachusetts is filled with a bunch of Masshole government dicks who don't like to make syringes easily excessable. I havn't found a feed store (calling 6 in my area from that feed store link that was here a few days ago plus another I knew of) or pharmacy that has them. One feed store had syringes but no needles! 2 bucks for it too. Though it was 60cc. So I wait for mine to come in the mail anyday now...
