Pressure cooking grain conundrum
    #5728446 - 06/08/06 09:10 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

well ive done a couple batches of grains, the first batch was rye grain. i put 4 1L jars with 1 cup of rye 1 cup water, pc'd for 1 hour 15psi, and it came out all clumped together in a solid mass and there was no way of breaking it up.

so then i tried birdseed, i soaked it, did the same thing, and still ended up with a solid mass of crap in a jar. any suggestions?

It will help to rinse the grains very well first. Put the grains in a large pot and fill it with hot tap water. Stir it around, then dump out the water. Repeat one or two more times until the water you pour off is clear. The dust and dirt that is in the bags of grain will cause them to clump up later. You should also use a good sized pinch between your thumb and forefinger of gypsum in each jar.

I prefer to get the grains fully hydrated before I load the jars. Put your washed grains in the pot and cover with at least three times as much hot tap water. I add a tablespoon of gypsum at this time for each two to three gallons of soak water. Soak for 24 hours, then bring to a boil for five minutes or so. Drain out the water through a collander, then toss the grains around a few times to help the excess moisture that doesn't drain have a chance to steam off. I like the grains to feel fairly dry when I load the jars. Fill them 3/4 full and PC for 90 minutes.

I do the soak for 24 then rinse the hell out of it then pc for 1 hour at 15 psi. I have tried the load water with grain and pc them together and always got what you are talking about, best to do like RR or Snaggletooth say, it will work much better thier way
