water content for rye

#321555 - 05/20/01 11:26 AM (22 years, 10 months ago)

For those of you out there that use rye, after you presoak, how much water do you add per quart jar. I'm afraid that the usual 1/4-2/3 cup of water will just lead to the onset of wetspot. Any suggestions?

If you presoak it for 24 hours or simmer it for 1 hour, then you shouldn?t need to add any additional water.

i've presoaked for 24 hours, and then added no water--only gypsum. this seemed to have worked better than steeping.

I posted this in another thread recently. I thought it might be applicable here:

For RYE BERRIES not straw: I place 2 1/2 cups of rye GRAIN in a 1 quart jar. I like to rinse the grain with tap water. Do this by puttin some tap water in, give it a shake and strain out with the lid. Repeat once or twice if desired. Be sure to shake out all the tap water you can. Then, I fill the jar right up to the neck with mineral water (try to find a brand w/o magnesium). Place the lid on and let that jar sit 24-30 hours and then drain off any remaining water in the jar. There is ususally not much. The grain can be split into 6 half pints about 2/3 full for shaking, mixed into substrate formulas, or just PCed in the quart jar. I like to PC the rye for an hour at 12-15 psi. The same for any substrate containing rye. The jars can be placed in a covered rubbermade with the lids cracked. Shakable jars can be innoculated with: small chunks of cakes (to extend your existing work), slices from agar work or just plain spore water from a syringe. If using spore water, shake the jar after introducing the spores. The others can be shaken after about three days and every day or two after that. Shakable jars can colonize like the wind. A half pint jar (with a chunk of cake or piece of agar) filled 2/3 to 3/4 full will colonize in about 6-8 days when this shaking schedule is followed. Use the rye for whatever you wish. Spread it out and case it just the way it is OR better yet, use it to innoculate some wheat straw or compost. I hope this helps a little.
