This tek is part of bod's cultivation is easy as fuck link listBod's Easy AF Oat Prep TEK (for making oat grain spawn)You Will Needsome oats,
They're for horses, race horses. Should come in a 50 pound bag for about 10-15 dollars.
They look like this and come in bags like this
Bug free oatsyou don't want rolled oats, or oats for human consumption which have the hulls removed
You will also need a Large pot and a pressure cooker, or use your pressure cooker as a large pot
Due to the absolute simplicity of oat prep there will be few pictures
for each quart jar measure out 1-1.25 cup(s) of oats by volume or 250-315mL
For 10 jars (what fits in my 23q presto) you need 10-12 cups of oats or 2.5-3 quarts of dry oats.
Since weight is easier and more reliable I just weigh out 210-220 grams per quart jar or 180 grams if using them for g2g receiving jars as they need some extra room.
into a large pot big enough to hold three times the height of the oats in water 8-10 liters or so.
something like that where the yellow is oats and the blue is water 3x taller than the oats
bring it to a boil on high heat, put a lid on and reduce the heat. You want it is boiling still(not a simmer a full on boil)
forget about it for 30-45 minutes
come back check the grain a few should be burst by now, if not go a bit longer
when a few grains start to get burst pour all the grains into large enough colanders
then forget about it for 30-60 minutes, stir once or shake if possible to get it to steam off more efficiently
they should leave very little water behind on a paper towel or piece of toilet paper
you can load into jars immediately while still warm/hot
2/3 full
pressure cook at 15-18psi for 2 hours (for quart sized jars)
Jars should shake freely after sterilization even without the use of gypsum
I personally find that drier grains perform way better than anything too wet. I sometimes prepare lots of grain a day ahead of time let it dry in the colander for a few hours then put it in the fridge overnight. It almost seems too dry, you can't get it too dry. If I have the time I vastly prefer to make the grain on the dry side.

4.5-5.5 hours for the first batch of 10 jars dry grain to sterilized jars being taken out of the cooker
subsequent runs can be prepared during the sterilization cycle of the first batch of grains
subsequent batches will only take ~3 hours then.
20-30 quarts of grain easily done in a day while just lingering around the house on a weekend. Doesn't even really feel like work
