Stunnin's Drippy Corn Tek is best, hands down. I was a die hard oats guy for years. I been doing the Drippy Corn for the last 6mo, and it works bad freakin ass 🤘
Thanks for this comparison. I have a bunch of grain spawns jars, half of jars is chicken feeding grains with mostly cracked corn and the other half is millet. After 5 days the millet colonisations are at 5% but the chicken feedings are at 50%.
You might have not prepared the millet jar properly. Ther is one RU-vidr who has compared 5 different grains including millet and corn. Millet was best (biggest fruits and fastest colonialisation) Oats were worst (but cheapest) and corn was somewhere in the middle
Grain spawn is used to inoculate your primary substrate not fruit directly unless doing enoki or other small mushrooms. I've done multiple fruits though just as a test
The cooked corn looks way overcooked. The kernels should still be whole looking and not all smashed up. Was it cracked corn? But anyway, were you able to fruit them?... Have you ever just added brewed coffee (and not the grounds) to the soak/cook water and then rinsing it off at the end (before pressure cooking them)? I've done that with success, but not so much the other way.
can you clarify what type of corn grain you used, was it whole, cracked, popcorn, some combination. SOme comments say it is "smashed corn" what is that and did you use it? thanks.
@@Rowow Most people seem to use popcorn. Would be great to see a test between cracked corn and whole krenel. I think that a mix would be best, the cracked corn helping to make nutrient more easily available and at the same time reducing inter-kernel spacing, I think the large gaps between whole kernels seem to cause slow coverage of the mycellium. Thoughts?
might want to try Milo. I just colonized 2 Qts to 100% colonization in 12 days. I will be putting it in 5Lb bags of Masters mix today, Hopes it continues to do good
Did you shake the corn to distribute the mycelium or left it after inoculation? Trying to identify the differences as I have soaked the corn for 24 hrs... sterilized. Waited for it to cool, then inoculation. I even used 10cc and still slow to colonize.... thank you for advance in any input!
That's way too much liquid. Only use 1cc at most. That much water is liable to undo the hydration balance and will slow colonization and encourage wet rot and contamination.
Nice comparison... a little chaotic. Same strain in each? Two weeks? Three? Temperature? Same growing conditions? Any other variables that might have impacted your outcome? I'm assuming same inoculation time for all.
yes all same strain, all same temperature, all same growing conditions. They were kept on that shelf next to each other and inoculated the same time. It makes logical sense too as corn is nutrient dense. You can see the starches goo out into sugars, its pretty much as nutrient dense as a agar plate. rye berries have excess shell/matter and less starches in general.
good afternoon from jamaica, thank you for the video, just to clarify....is cracked corn right?....soaked in just water no yeast for 24 hours?........rinse ??.....and then...how long pressure cooked?....can sterilize in a normal pot???....what is stunnin dripping corn?...thank you...answer the questions one by one...you helping me a lot, here in jamaica we dont have a lot of grain resources
Cracked corn, soaked in water overnight no yeast. Drain and rinse. Pressure cook to sterilization, so 30 minutes. I do steam pasteurization now in a 55 gallon drum.
I am in the research phase of setting up to start growing. What are you calling grain? Do you know if anyone has tried to mix mushrooms with worms. I only ask, because of your coffee experiment. Worms do very well on coffee.
No. They not only need to hydrate but it will also take care of any endospores when you wash it after the long soak. Wash it well you need to get the starch off. I prefer to soak even longer
