Everybody tries to make this complicated. I'm guilty of it. It feels like I'm controlling more variables when in reality I'm just creating them. This is great. Actually going to try it tonight. (Along side my anal retentive science lab bullshit of course hahahaha.) Thanks brother!
@soulsmile4799 3T is a type of filter, doesn't describe the size of bag, just the size of micron opening in the filter. These are the standard size unicorn bags. They hold up to 6 pounds of hydrated grains but I suggest no more than 3 lbs
@soulsmile4799 I would follow this recipe exactly until you can do it with zero contamination, then possibly double batch if you need, however the larger the batch the higher your internal temperatures get and the higher the chance of contamination. You are better off with 2 bags at 3lbs than 1 at 6 lbs.
@cinderblue3251 this is sterilization, pasteurization is a different lower temperature process for substrate. You can not pasteurize grain Spawn, it must be sterilized at a minimum of 215 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 minutes in the center of the bag. This usually means a pressure canner/cooker at 15 psi for at least 1.5 hr. At these temps the water in the bag expands and would blow open a sealed bag. Therefore the bags are folded but left unsealed to allow for expansion and contraction. Great question, thank you
@@FungusFingers Thank you, great explanation! What specific species have you tested this mix on? Does it work for all medicinal mushrooms or even those that are magical?
@cinderblue3251 grain Spawn is a necessary intermediate step for all mushrooms. Most grains will work for most cutivatable species, gourmet, medicinal and Sacred.
The ratio for these small grains are 2 parts grain to 1 part water. So if you are looking for 1.5lbs finished bag weight you would use 1lb of grain and a 0.5lb of water to achieve a 50% hydration. Hope that makes sense, happy growing!
@@FungusFingers Yes it does! Thank you. Your video is the only good one I’ve found using these. I usually use whole oats in the states but I moved to another country and red sorghum is in abundance here and the cheapest grain. $15 for about 80lbs.

3 bags of this method and 3 bags of a boil no soak method going into the PC in 30 mins. No millet here, just pure milo.
How did it work out?
Yup I also was doing it much more complicated, see the 45min video on how to do corn Spawn. Happy growing!
Hi what size bag is that? Ive got 3T bags so I guess double up your recipe and still cook for 2 hours after venting? Thanks great video!

Upvote doesnt work on my end.
Weird? Well here's an upvote for you
Curious why you don't impulse seal before pasterizing? Is it better to do it after?

Nice tutorial. I have 1.5lbs grain bags. What’s the ratio of red milo sorghum to water? It seems like it’s close to 50/50?
