anyway as a general rule it is told to soak them for 12- 18 hours till they can't suck up more water , by doing this you hydrate the wbs + wake the endospores and make them vulnerable to pressure cooking , maybe that was because of this . Peace =)

yea. probably. I am gonna soak overnight next time. Its just that I don't have a stove that I can cook on so when I do get to cook at a friends house I don't know until that day. Could I soak the wbs, then drain and load the jars and wait a few days before PCin? would this cause me any problems?

i wouldn't do that, there is a high chance that they will start to get smelly and gross (fermentation). i ran into a schedule conflict a month or so ago and let me tell you: pounds of soaked grain gets really gross, really fast and, in my case at least, smells like vomit. ugh.
i don't know if this will help you any but when it comes to WBS, i typically steep it in boiling water for 12 or so hours prior to making the jars. if i run into time problems i drain, rinse well and steep again. sometimes it is a little on the dry side but i've never had any issues with that (even though i always inoculate with plenty of LC to offset that fact, i think strait spores would do just fine - better a little too dry than a little too wet)
