The only way i know of for grain is to do multiple sterilizations which takes a few days.

I don't remember all of the details, but you basically have to steam the jars in your oven for about 2 hours a day, then let them cool completely. Then repeat the next day, and again the day after.

The goal is to let whatever fungi/bacteria that're in there start to germinate as cued by the heat. Then once they start to germinate, you re-cook them and it kills them, leaving behind sterile grain.

Some people have had luck with it, but you may just wanna wait til you have access to your PC. Sorry I can't give better details, like I said, I normally just use my PC.

thanx, probably gonna have to see if I can borrow one or dig through my couches and hit up walmart...

I have already steamed it though to germinate the endospore of the bacteria or whatnot and I am using doc's... regardless, can't risk 6 qts right now...

dont bother with fractional sterilization. Results are poor and sporadic. You're much better off waiting for the PC to become available again.

If you can use it tomorrow just wait. Otherwise, steam them for an hour 3 days in a row.

at a 1:5 ratio 1 quart of spawn can colonize 5 quarts of straw.

You mean spawn/substrate ratio? It would be 30 qts max.

and I am guessing a 1 to 5 is what you would recommend?? should I do 1to4 or 1to3 to beat out contams by colonizing faster?

1:5 is optimal. When creating cases that have more spawn the substrate you're cutting down on the extra nutes your bulk substrate can offer.
