Wow this sounds great.

Great video - I hydrated a large batch of popcorn using this method and then sterilized 4x jars in the oven as shown in this video and 4x jars in a pot on the stove (traditional broke boi tek). I inoculated all 8 jars in a SAB using grain to grain from the same colonized jar or brown rice, and all 8 colonized successfully, HOWEVER all four jars that I sterilized in the oven using the method shown in this video colonized much faster than those sterilized in the pot! This was great to learn, and I'll be using this tek in the future.

really like your method. the injection hole is an idea I've never come across before so thanks for that. the only thing I'd change is the way you hydrate the corn. try using the absorption method you'd use for cooking rice. if you start using cold water and heat it up with a lid on the pot and take it off heat once most of the water is boiled off (and keep the lid on to hold some pressure) you'll get it right on your first go every time :)

Great vid! Wish you would do a couple more for the different stages of the grow.

The coffee grounds are not really so much for nutrients for the mycelium but rather a starting off point for the mycelium to grow when using a spore syringe. Obviously a speck of ground coffee is much smaller than a popcorn kernel so the mycelium will develop on coffee grounds pretty quickly and start spreading to the popcorn around it. All it really does is knock a few days off the waiting time for colonisation to start. If you want added nutrients add Gypsum powder.

You do it the same way I do it except I cut my hydration time down for my popcorn because I noticed when it was over hydrated it made it more susceptible to bacteria contamination. I've lost several spawn jars because of that I have now added a little bit of vermiculite to the bottom of the jars to soak up any extra water.. my simmering time is 40 minutes although I've had success doing it exactly how you do it I've cut out the coffee just Gibson and corn.. bacteria I think happened because of my temperature got a little high a couple days also.. Do note that I wasn't preparing my jars for oven sterilization though that was for pressure cooker for anyone reading this don't go by my ways listen to her lol

Fill water line about a fingers height above the popcorn, add, 1/4c of raw sugar or pure corn syrup, and PC for 20min at 15psi. Remove, drain water, let corn dry for about 30min. Then put 1tbsp of verm in bottom of jars then fill jars 3/4 with now dried corn, and then PC for 2.5hrs. Perfect every time. I have done 10 rounds of 6doz jars, not a single tam.

As long as the popcorn is moist, it's not getting heated much beyond the boiling point. The 300F oven temperature won't be affecting anything other than the glass and lids. Ultimately, this is why pressure cooking is recommended. The pressure raises the boiling point so that a moist material can reach a higher temperature without all the moisture having to be boiled away first.

I use a similar technique however since some of my containers have plastic lids or are made of plastic I have been "baking" my popcorn in a pan covered with tin foil instead. I will cover the hydrated popcorn with water and bake @300-350 for 2-3 hours. The water will evaporate or be absorbed by the popcorn over that amount of time. Then while hot I transfer to my (alcohol) sterilized containers. I won't claim it's a perfect technique, but it has reduced my contamination down to almost nothing while allowing me to use plastic lids and containers to grow in without the use of a pressure cooker. Great to see others having success with this too.

You are awesome, .. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
