 Look what I found....

Thought I'd share my latest substrate experiemnet. I was looking for some good old BRF when I stumbled across a 10-grain organic flour distributed under Bob's Red Mill - here is what was on the label:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
10-Grain Flour is probably the most nutritious product in the mill. It contains freshly milled wheat, rye, triticale, oats, corn, barley, soy beans, brown rice, millet and flaxseed. Our hearty mixture is fantastic in yeast breads and rolls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I prepared a half-dozen or so jars with this used in place of BRF in half-pint jars. Then innoculated just like PFTek 2.5 days ago. This morning they jars were 30-50% colonized with very nice white, rhizo. growth. Waaaay faster than brf and verm. PLus it's only $1.50 for a pound.
Just thought I'd share this (if it hasn't already been shared  )
Cheers,
Paul Proteus

Wow! I have never tried the 10-grain, but I have dealt with Bobs red mill, they are a class act. Peace.

There are many grain flours avaiable for us. We are not limited to BRF.

Oh totally agree Phroz....
I have tried all the grains I could get my hands on and really lucked out on this one b/c it's all of them mixed into one package!
Rye, millet, oat, and so on..... plus it happens to be a nice texture - not finely ground into flour - but more the consistency of fine-grade vermiculite. It mixes very well.
Well - just tryin to return some advice back to the community that helped me so much!

i checked that page..but i noticed that only some of the flours and meals were listed as organic and only some gluten free..and the multi grain they offered wasnt organic listed on the site..would this make a difference?cause i would love to get my hands on some of that multi-grain..currently i am using BRF,RYE, and Bird seed+flax meal on 3 different cakes/casings---;0)

Well... I'm pretty sure it's all organinc (ie - no chemical pesticides). My jars are really coming along great with the 10-grain stuff. So I guess it's workin!
Sure would make your job easier since your mixing BRF, rye and flaxseed already - all those are already in the bag.. (I feel like a sales rep or something...!)

digging up this old bone instead.. exactly a year ago in fact :P
on preperation:
you said you mixed it just like brf.. but did you pre cook it at all? i figured it at least would need a good soaking.. i don't think "steaming" would get it cooked correctly.
um.. that's it i think..

I have seen 10-grain organic flour made by Bob's Red Mill....on the shelf of grocery stores...but I have never used it...sorry.
And I won't give advice on something that I haven't tried... or heard about someone using with success.
k?

30-50% colonization in 2.5 days sounds incredible.
Anyone have any comments on this?

Lots of spore solution... If its all over the sides of the jar, when it germinates it will have white fuzz all over, but you still can't birth until it gain some strength.
