Read the post above by "agar".
He doesn't simmer his wbs.
I think the reason is:
You can under or over simmer wbs. Either would not work well.
Sort of like an under or over baked cake.
"Well Agar doesn't do it like that...."
For those who actually read the way I do it and didn't just skim through it:
1- it's not simmering, but steeping 2- not many, if any bursted seeds- again, because this ISN'T simmering 4- there will be no clumping because you RINSE the grains well to get the sludge off
So, I'm not totally disagreeing with Agar. I'm just saying you can reduce your soak time by 23-23 1/2 hours. If you sleep better at night knowing that you soaked for 24 instead of steeping for 1 GO FOR IT! More power to you! I've shown my results MANY times, so I'm not going to argue about which method I think is better.
And just a suggestion- if you are still having problems with endospores, check your PC times. 90 minutes at 15psi in a moderately loaded PC will more than suffice for WBS prepared this way.

Really though if you wanted to simmer just because in my experience i had trouble with the WBS not soaking enough. It couldn't of been the sludge because i would rinse it a bunch after steeping or simmering.
What I do for an real easy way to simmer is to just bring a large pot to a boil and then turn the stove heat off. And then dump the wild bird seed in there for a half hour.
But if you seeds do looked steeped enough skip this and just continue.
Oh yeah, use vermiculate to make sure it isn't too wet. The moisture should be in the seed but theres a lot of excess wetness left from whatever. Or you could just use a towel. Verm helps ime.
