    #7594607 - 11/04/07 01:25 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

i received 2 3lb bags of already sterilized rye grain but it looks rather dry. what should rye grain look like when its ready to be inoculated. should it look a little wet? if so any ideas on how to bring the moisture content up to optimum levels for inoculation?

properly hydrated grains contain the moisture inside the grian, so i believe that outside may look to be dry. When you inoc yoor grain u will be injecting some water too.

Did the documentation state that they were pre-hydrated??

I always manually hydrate my grains, so no help here. Also when I hydrate my grains I usualy PC and knock em up ASAP. Avoiding moisture loss. I just tried my first set of WBS jars with no simmering. I just soaked them for 48hrs. Colonization took about a week and a half, as apposed to about a week last time I tried it with 24hr soak and simmer. 3-5 days difference I guess, but I'm in no hurry.

Good Luck,
-CK
