Popcorm Spawn Prep
    #5265729 - 02/05/06 10:50 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

The only thing i can seem to find on Popcorn preparation is as a substrate, i was wondering if i should maybe give it a shorter simmer to soften it up a little, i know i don't want it like my prepped rye, it smashes into goo when spawned.

Thanks for the look.

When I used PCorn for spawn, I just skipped the pre-soak, and simmered for 20 mins. Outside was soft, but the center of the kernel wouldn't "squish" when squeezed.

Too late to skip the presoak but that sounds good, thanks for the reply.

I prepped my Popcorn much like any other grain...

Soak for 24hrs, then a LOW simmer for maybe an hour, give or take..

45min drain (as opposed to 30 min, I felt it needed to be a bit drier)

load up in jars and PC away.

Worked for me more than a few times!

I do my popcorn similar to my WBS in the other thread, except that I keep the stove on VERY low to simmer for about an hour. Bring the water to a full boil, then lower the heat on the stove very low, dump the popcorn in and put a lid on the pot. I only stir it about once every 15-20 minutes. Strain it afterwards until you only have a few drops when shaken and load up your jars.

Popcorn is GREAT as spawn, but not so good to case by itself.

Good point FooMan...using a very LOW simmer seems to be helpful.
