My last batch of grain spawn was in pints that I’ll be dividing in half for my baby buckets. As those are almost ready to go into buckets, I want to prep a new batch of true half pints to run my recipe with. Last time I was a bit short of grains using a 1 dry grain to get 3 wet ratio, so this time I’ll be trying 1 : 2*. My plans:
- Soaking the grains overnight
- Rinse, then cook for 15-20 min until al dente
- Drain and letting steam dry it out
- Loading into jars and pressure cooking for 90 minutes
I use rye berries from Azure Standard for my grain spawn.
*(Edit: 2024-07-21: with 1:2, I did 6 cups to yield 12 and instead got 20. 20/6 is back to the 1 dry to 3.3 wet ratio. Next time, for 12 wet: 12/3.3 = 3.6 cups dry)
