Did I do my rye wrong.

Well on my previous grows since my growth has always been real thick that meant I had to much moisture I I have been trying to tone my moistur down. So here is how I preped my Rye berries.
I soaked for 24 hours, wich from what I have been reading is all you need to do. Then I boiled some water and added the rye and let sit for 5-7 minutes. Then I strained and shook a bit and then rolled them around on a big towel to get the outer moisture off and then loaded into jars added lid tyvek and tin foil, then pced for 60 minutes. Then let cool over night wich was for about 8 hours. Then inoculated.
6-10 days later, I am not keeping specific track and since I dont work I lost track of days easly. Anyway minimum 6 max 10 days later no signs of growth or contam or anything. I used 2cc of spore solution so Id figure some would have germinated by now.
Did I make some kind of error somewere? I used to boil for 40 minutes and roll on a towel to get the exess moisture off and would get slow growth rye would take 3-4 weeks to colonise. Did I not have enough moisture this time?

i sometimes find the towel gets the grains too dry just my .02 just a good drain in a colander, with a few up-down motions to allow gravity to pull some more water through...seems to work the best, imo.

what i dop is soak for 16-24hours then bring a pot of water to roaring boil then i add my rye and simmer on low-med low for 40 mins. then i remove and place into a collander and put like 4 or 5 gsllons of water to clean it off and then i load into jars and Pc for an hour and my jars seem fine. it almost seems like my winter wheat jars have colonised faster than my rye jars but its only been a few days for them.
sorry for lsck of spell check im a bit drink.

Your rye is fine. Your spores didn't germinate yet. If your spores were viable, you'll see growth within a few days. RR

Hmmmmm....5 minute boil, towel dry, this is shortcut city. That rye isn't gonna have nearly the moisture it could have. 6 to 10 days and the spores haven't germed? on rye? something is up.
I tend to take the long safe way when prepping grains which sucks if you don't wanna work. Then again if my jars aren't colonized in 9 days from spore they get chucked for being to slow.
9 days later
