Brown rice is hulled. It is not a whole grain. The whole grain wording on the bag is marketing. Brown rice is less polished than white so retains more nutrition than white. I am not surprised it is faster growing because they have already removed the hull, less work for the fungus.
Many thanks for your experimentation !!
You are welcome!
Wow 48h!!?? As a rye guy I need to try that
Sik video bro thanks for sharing..
Excellent video!!
I'm curious what the difference would be between sprouted and unsprouted brown rice since sprouted would be less work for the mycellium to break down 🤔
U can place the bags ontop of eachother in pressure cooker use steel divider on top so bags don't swell or unroll and clog up vent hole
Good tip, thanks, I guess I was trying to keep them separated but the reality is the separator does not help steam flow between bags anyways. It is good to have feed back from people to make me thing and try new techniques.
You can get 25 pound bags at gordon foods for like 20.00. I know not everyone has one nearby.
Triple washed pony oats
Deer corn
And popcorn
Question: Do certain types of mycelium do better with different grain spawns?
That's a great question, I'm not sure. I'm going to look into that
Hey, thanks for the video! What sealer are you using?
Do you mean the sealer to seal the bags up? If so I just added the link into the description of this video. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Thanks!
Whoo 100th subscriber......
Nice, thanks so much, greatly appreciated.
I'll take rye, oats, or popcorn before rice any day.
What would be the reasoning behind that? I am actually finding that I don't get as many flushes with rice.
@HowToShroom rice has been the most prone to wet rot and contam for me. I have way better luck with literally anything else lol. That isn't true for everyone though.
i wonder if it would be possible to do it without precooking and no rinsing by just puting rice and the right amount of water in the bag / jar.
Yes I wonder that also. Maybe I will try that next
Yes absolutely I use 1/.75 rice to water ratio get hydrated but not to soft , really hard to find the median sometimes tho I find the rice gets kinda clumpy because of the starches
@@brendenvisger3781 hmm thanks for the heads up, maybe throwing in a bit of verm may help with clumping.
Can you tell me why you used a pressure cooker and didn't just cook the rice fully (very new to this). Thanks
A pressure cooker brings the temperature to a higher level than boiling alone allowing for sterilization. The initial boil is to put water into the grains of rice. The idea is to have a grain that is dry and hard on the outside and moist in the middle (I have heard it called al dente). Then sterilize and inoculate.
After cooking or soaking your grains, they need to dry a bit and then be put into jars or bags. These process leave the grains or rice open to bacteria which all around us in the air. The pressure cooking ensures that the grains or rice is completely sterile for the introduction of the cultures. If you still have any questions or this is not clear let me know.
When you put the bags in the pressure cooker,are they still unsealed?
Yes, they are just folded around. Not sealed
Instead of running cold water on it try tossing while still hot, the extra water will steam off the grains, I get perfectly hydrated rye grain every time, haven’t tried brown rice tho
Yeah but rice has a high starch content which makes it clump together if you dont rinse it after boiling
@@mercurius1488 good to know
Good tip, I think I need to try rye grain again. I think I was having issues because it just was not hydrated enough even after 24 h soaking. The brown rice is amazing, super fast to colonize.
Yes 100%, it sucks to use in jars for this reason, you need to bang the hell out of the jars and even then still stays mostly in clumps. If using the unicorn bags it is a none issue, obviously very easy to break up clumps.
For how long do you cook it in the pc?
I boil it for 15-20 min and then PC for 2 hours. 1 out of the last 40 or so bags got contamination
@@HowToShroom thanks!
What unicorn bag is that?
T4 small
im buying my PC right now this is so easy
Growing mushrooms is pretty easy.
@@HowToShroom you have multiple tubs!!!! i love it
Nothing had beaten brown rice for me man its amazingly fast and also great once spawn to bulk.!!!. But trying popcorn now just. Whole oats are trash. I couldn't get them right waisted 15 lbs.
Yes I want to give popcorn a try also. I think that because the kernels are so large there are not as many inoculation causing slower colonization.
Such tiny bags.
Drop it in a big tub and it won’t matter much
agreed, I was struggling with constant contamination with my rye grains so I down sized the bags to try and get a better chance at thorough sterilization. Didn't work. At this point after switching to rice and having great success I think I had a bad grain supplier.
@@HowToShroom Fantastic! Thank you for a great response. I'm forwarned and forearmed.
maz are aggressive
Yes I have found that over the last few weeks working with them. So are Lizard Kings.
