Grain Spawn without Soaking and Boiling? An Experiment to Find Out if it'll Work. Part 1 of 2

- @maxlynn9877 asked a question the other day that got me excited to do a new experiment...is it possible to skip the soak and boil with grain spawn? I ran this experiment to find out.
This is part 1 of 2 videos; the second part will be out in a few weeks when phase 2 of the experiment is complete.

Looking forward to part 2
Me too! Should start seeing mycelium growth in the next few days...
@@OneEarthMushrooms i just inoculated some agar today for the first time! I think it will take a week to see my first mycelium or contamination growth
@@OneEarthMushrooms where is part 2?
Part 2?
He probly contaminated every single one by not wearing gloves and touching the inside of the jars when putting the tape on that's why he didn't make a pt 2 😂😂😂
I've only been pressure sterliizing my grain for only 25 minutes and doing around 50% water weight to grain works great and no contamination
What worked best for me so far relative to excellent moisture content and a lack of busted oats, was to boil water and then pour it over the oats in a 5 gallon bucket, put the lid on and let sit overnight. Dry the oats on a towel with a fan aimed at them for a couple hours or so, and then sterilize them as usual. Anytime I soaked in water 12 - 24 hours and then cooked for 15 min, I get busted oats.
Steep the oats in the water or just pour it over them and let the water drain to bottom and steam just comes up?
If you put the oats and water together into a 5lb bag and pressure sterilize it, you'll wind up with mold. I lost 200 lbs of grain spawn by short cutting the process. I now soak my oats for 24 hours then let them drain for an hour. After drained, I bag them and pressure cook them for 2.5 hours @15psi. The soaking Method opens the gain allowing for full pasteurization though and through. No more mold.
I bought some growing kits, spore prints, spawns, liquid culture and psychedelic products from an online supplier and they are affordable and discreetly delivered

I lost hundreds of pounds too doing 3 to 5 pound bags of grain at 2.5 hours either no soak no simmer and the whole simmer and drain tek. But what it ended up being for me was the 2.5 hours... not enough time for 24 bags stuffed in a 100L autoclave.. so after trial and error fully loaded it needs 6 hours at 15psi. That's the only way every bag will work.. so the point of this try a No soak no simmer 5 pound bag for like 4 to 5 hours vs 2.5 you'll more then likely have success then.
@@FrankEmmanuel799yea right
What happened to part 2?
Where is the follow up?
Where is part 2?
Any update on those jars? I am certainly curious if they colonized
is there a part 2?
I like your methods
Thanks for sharing! Any update in the works?

Working on it! :)
Ha great video! Thanks for the shout out!
You're welcome! Thanks for the great idea!
@@OneEarthMushrooms They looked really promising. Hope they work out in the next part I think I'll be adopting this to save time if it all works out.
@@maxlynn9877 definitely, I'll post something even if they don't turn out.
How they go
I do 2 pounds oats 1.5 pounds water, and I rarely have an issue. I got the method and math from one of Midnight mushrooms videos. I even use a pneumatic gate valve to crank out bags from big bend mushrooms.
Just in time. I have been deciding the best route. For hydrating and sanitizing.
Great! Hope this method will work out and I can publish a "how-to" video soon!
What happened with this experiment?
So what happened? Been months at this point...
So since this dude didnt make a part 2 and whatnot id like to let people know yes this does work just fine. The gypsum isnt necessary. And you can find a better video about this called no soak no simmer by Don't mind ryan
So what happened
I got sick and didn't film anything! lol but don't worry, I'll put something out soon. (but....all four jars colonized. The 1:1 and .95:1 jars look a little funky though)
Would love to hear how the next experiment goes! I tried with way less water and mine were way too try. They are colonizing just very very slowly and not sure if it’s ever going to colonize completely.
I tried this method back in January, and for some reason it cracked my jars near the base. It had never happened before or since using the old method.
I've PC'd about 5000 jars in my life and finally had the first one break a few days ago. It wasn't using this method though, I have no idea why mine broke!
Usually happens when you place the hot jar on a cold surface like kitchen top.
@@shehaniperera9152 Yeah, that's called basic logic. 😆
Damn, of course theres no part two. Ugh
I've seen you mention ads before and I guess maybe you don't know, but UA-cam automatically places ads on videos whether they are monetized or not. So just by uploading a video, it will have ads, the only difference is that you're not getting the money from your work... you're giving it all to UA-cam
(Edit) there's ads on my videos and I'm not monetized, but I haven't seen any ads on your videos yet. Is there a setting that I can totally remove ads that UA-cam puts on my videos, where it can just be uninterrupted content?
Does your channel meet the monetization threshold? I think its still something like 4000 watch hours. If I understand correctly, we don't have control of the ads before crossing the threshold. (i.e. YT will just play the ads whether we want them to or not)
For my channel, I can toggle the ads off. It's an option in one of the last screens while uploading, and I can also manage it from my Content tab in the Channel Dashboard.
@@OneEarthMushrooms That's probably what's going on. I don't have enough subscribers to have the option to monetize. I uploaded one video that got nearly 30k views, but apart from that, my recent videos and my channel have been shadowbanned because I have disseminated information about corruption that's not allowed on GoogTube
nice!
Thanks!
What kind of gypsum do you use?
This is pelletized gypsum. I don't have the specifics handy at the moment. Are you looking for brand name?
(I sell this in bulk on my website if you need any)
