Dried / Wet WBS Ratios
    #5750307 - 06/14/06 05:19 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I'm wondering how much dried bird seed comes out to when it's wet. I usually put about 450mL worth of soaked WBS into my jars and I'd love to know exactly how much I need to soak to fill X amount of jars. I hate either wasting bird seed, if I've done too much, or having not enough and not running a full load in the pressure cooker. thanks

I've read that WBS expands 30% when properly hydrated. But it will almost certainly vary (by at least a little bit) from vendor to vendor.

If you're paranoid about wasting WBS, just fill your jars about 60% with dry WBS then dump all those grains into your water. If it expands and you divide the hydrated WBS evenly, your jars will now be 78% full (60 + (60 * 0.3)). Go a little heavier if you like your jars more than 3/4rds full or a little lighter if you like them with more headroom.

Math. The Anti-Drug.

Oops. Too late.

Yea, but still, it's waste :smile:  I'm more concerned with being short when I'm making up my jars, then having to wait another day for the grains to soak.

Maybe the man is just frugal. I've certainly had times in my life when an extra few bucks on any given week would have been a huge comfort.

While I'm not that anal about my WBS (and I almost replied with the same thing as Tuna), I certainly admire the trait. =)
