My rye tek:
Measure out your organic rye berries from a health food store, one cup for each quart jar you intend to make. Place them in a large pot. Rinse the heck out of them. Fill the pot with hot tap water, shake and swirl it around and pour it out. Do this three or four times until the water you pour out is clear. You'll be able to see when you have nice clean water to pour off instead of water filled with chaff and dirt.

You want to now cover the rye berries with three times as much hot tap water as you have rye. Use half coffee and half plain water. In other words, if you have two inches of rye in the bottom of your pan, you should have six inches of water/coffee above that, for a total of 8 inches.  Add approximately a 1/4 teaspoon of gypsum per cup of rye. Stir these into the water/grain well. For my large kettle with ten cups of rye and two to three gallons of water, or (coffee/water)I add a tablespoon of gypsum and mix in. Cover and leave this to sit for 6-24 hours.

Stir well and set the pot on the stove. Bring to a boil. Boil for ten minutes, then, WHILE BOILING, drain the contents through a very large colander. (spaghetti strainer) If you're making a large batch, you may need more than one colander. Tip the colander side to side to get the rye to drain as much of the water as you can. Then, shake the colander in order to 'toss' the grain. This will cause a lot of steam to rise from your rye. Great. Do this a time or two, then let it sit for five minutes, then repeat. When all the moisture that will drip or evaporate from your rye has already done so, load your jars. The rye should look and feel dry to the touch when you load the jars. All the moisture you need is inside the grain.

Fill jars no more than 2/3 full if they are to receive grain to grain transfers, or no more than 3/4 full if they are to be inoculated by spore syringe or agar wedge. Use a lid with a synthetic filter disk, polyfill, tyvek or similar. Cover with foil and PC the jars for at least 90 minutes at 15lbs. I use 120 minutes. When the jars are cool, they're ready to inoculate.

This is the procedure that's demonstrated on my DVD.

Think of what it would cost to take a class in all this. Plus we got the teacher right here with this video to bug (Ask questions) lol We should have to pay extra to get his video with all the info we bug him about after lol.

:-) I hear you. It's a bit pricey for sure, for 2 DVDs...considering the almost $10 shipping also...even after the $10 discount it comes to like $47 or so.

RogerRabbit, I have a question from this rye tek, when you say

"Bring to a boil. Boil for ten minutes, then, WHILE BOILING, drain the contents through a very large colander. (spaghetti strainer) If you're making a large batch, you may need more than one colander. Tip the colander side to side to get the rye to drain as much of the water as you can. Then, shake the colander in order to 'toss' the grain. This will cause a lot of steam to rise from your rye. Great. Do this a time or two, then let it sit for five minutes, then repeat."

You say "Do this a time or two, then let it sit for five minutes, then repeat."

Does that mean boil and drain a time or two, or tip the colander side to side and shake a time or two? And when you say repeat, repeat what?

javtfs said:

get the video and get rid of these questions.

You boil for 10 min and then you leave it in the colander until no steam comes out of this . You have to repeat shaking a bit the colander in order to let the steam get out of the grains.

Good luck

OK got it...no grounds.  Just curious, I sometimes see people asking how they should ask for Starbucks coffee grounds.  Is that for a different TEK?  Wow, over 2 months and the colonization isn't complete?  That's a long time.

---

Liquid coffee if for the soak,the coffee grounds come into play when spawning to coir....O and don't hydrate the coir with any liquid coffee,I did this once just for the hell of it,came here and I believe it was RR himself who said "You shouldn't have done that,good luck":(... next time I looked,it was covered in mold

I know this is slightly off topic but I need to know if Rye Flour can be sterilised at 110C/230F and what times to use as I have borrowed a PC and it only operates at 7 PSI so I can only get temps above.

Im gonna do 4 x brf and 2 x Rye Flour using PF Tek, as u can see by my post count Im only a novice and about to start my first grow with Mazapatec. Thanks in advance shroomery crew.

I mentioned this as this thread is on about RR's Rye Tek.

There ya go, you got a response from the guy who wrote it.

I'd say you posted in the right place.

On the other hand -


Necromancy, though im sure RR doesent mind, its about him

I did use RR's Rye Tek except I boiled my grains for too long time(15min-20min) and lot of them bursted. I did not use coffee last time. I think this is good tek when done right and anyone interested in grains should test it.

Yeah it's a great tech. The organic rye berries are the shit. I did everything right it's just the 1 cup per quart ratio only filled two quarts 3/4 full. Unless there is a difference in the jars RR uses but I am pretty sure a quart is a quart no matter the shape of jar you are using. Anyway, I will just use more grains next time. No big deal....
