How to Prep Popcorn for Grain Spawn! (Popcorn Tek)

[@cleokatra.]

Love it. no mess, no fuss. Best video on youtube on popcorn tek

[@chaseTheCase9]

Thanks for this video 👊🏼 I took my popcorn out of the PC this morning and it looked like this. I thought maybe I screwed up and the popcorn has too much moisture. But after seeing this, I think mine should be good. I will wait a day or two to let the kernels soak up a bit of it. No pools, you can just see some moisture between the kernels and the side of the jar. Thank you!

[@mobpocuva9282]

Love the easier method than seeds. I’ve had great results from watching your video. But the last jars I did jar to jar transfer I had contamination because the corns started turning green. Interesting though, the jars are still turning white and look nice and white like cotton. Not going to use them but want to see if they pin in the jars. Why is the mycelium not turning green like the corn? Overall it has worked great and getting nice flushes

[@deej7783]

My popcorn always looks like burnt after 130 mins at 15 psi. Not burnt but definitely dark this normal anyone??

[@MrSebsgonemissing]

Popcorn bois ftw! 🎉

[@MamaPsyLuv]

Loving your videos. Im liking the popcorn over brf thats for sure

[@Sporangutan]

Glad you like them!

[@D0CT0R420]

🍿 gang all day!

[@Sporangutan]

Mann, I’ve been loving me some popcorn. Popcorn gang😎

[@danielgarrett2973]

We watched the new deadliest catch 🦀 last night I been watching for years great video 🦧 😊

[@Wavy_Gravy]

I heard Sporerangutan is the Stoned ape from the theory..........js.

[@illegalsmilez]

There's no way monkeys could have done all this. They didn't even have Mason jars back then for one, and where would they even buy the spores?

[@hyp3_d138]

I heard he's the theory incarnate

[@Forrrrty]

Awesome video! Thank you bro

[@ricomidence2063]

So wuick tip, if you live in the Midwest, find a grain store and buy a 50lb of corn for like 12 bucks. Cheaper than buying the popcorn bags and tou will get waaaaay more

[@Rootpuma2.0]

Popcorn doesn't need the 24 hour soak because it's food grade...its already been through a type of decontam...corn from the feed store needs a 24hr soak.

[@Ms.Kelani]

@@Rootpuma2.0thankfully, it’s a passive 24 hours and well worth it for the price of bulk grain.

[@renasdupont2806]

anywhere they sale pet (horse,dog ,deer etc) food

[@ThisReckless]

@@Rootpuma2.0How does soaking for 24 hours decontaminate grain?

[@SocialDeviant_]

​@@ThisReckless it is to trick the endospores into escaping the popcorn in order to avoid drowning, then once they have escaped for air, you kill them with pressure cooking . Keeps contamination rates down

[@SketchybrainD]

My pressure cooker was a hand me down from my grandmother. It’s gotta be one of the first presto pressure cookers they made. I can’t find a new seal for it. The closet one I found was a little too big and didn’t work. I put the old seal in silicone wd40 and vacuum sealed it as a final attempt to get it to work again but I thought I had to get a new one. It worked though and I get to put off getting a new one for a while longer

[@SocialDeviant_]

E bay

[@JoshuaSmith-sb6wk]

Why do some say to cook it until it splits and some dont?

[@WavvYmYco]

Glad I found this channel keep it up bud ❤❤❤❤

[@philipholman9898]

I definitely want to rock that tshirt

[@YouTubeHandlesAreStupid]

Great video btw. This one is the best video and is exactly what I'm doing.

[@rustimack]

So you said 20min at 15psi. I assume that you start the timer when the pc reaches 15psi correct?

[@klaymistic4810]

I have the same question. Hopefully somebody comes up with an answer.

[@gimmygamero]

I need this answer 😢

[@Jgawd]

Yes

[@ryandupay4022]

He said 25 min @ 15psi.

[@rustimack]

@@ryandupay4022 no he didn't

[@promisefrance]

If I have the plastic lids can those go thru the pressure cooker or do I need to use the metal ring topped with foil for the PC portion, then replace with plastic? I’m seeing comments saying don’t modify your lids and I would rather not but unsure if the plastic lids that are made for shrooms can survive the PC process.

[@johnkauffman3013]

I have tried many different plastic lids so far and none have been damaged by pressure cooking.

[@Ho11ow661]

Why did you have what looks like micropore tape on the weight of the pressure cooker?

[@ThisReckless]

To reach 15 psi.

[@SachaLotus]

To avoid the hissing sound

[@SocialDeviant_]

It should reach 15 psi without tape, that particular pc can even reach 20 right? I was wondering about the tape too, as I've never seen that

[@philipholman9898]

No presoak? So many varients to this process, some say bloom the endospores first then pc. Some say rinse then pc. Id like a side by side review on the different processes

[@Sporangutan]

No pre soak just a run through the PC to cook before sterilizing, I will most definitely when I have the time! Graphics card on my pc went out so waiting to make more videos

[@klaymistic4810]

I didn’t have to do anything with my spores. I put them right in the jars and they did great.

[@gwaters8067]

Human consumption popcorn is usually a lot cleaner than animal feed corn. Less endospores to germ off with a soak so you can get away without it. I still soak popcorn if I have time but if im busy I skip it without any major issues. Keep spawning on bud 👍

[@Rootpuma2.0]

Popcorn doesn't need the 24 hour soak because it's food grade...its already been through a type of decontam...corn from the feed store needs a 24hr soak.

[@dustinmacheske989]

I soak in distilled water and gypsum for 24 hours then slow cook for 45 minutes the next day. Strain for about a hour then pressure cook for 1 hour @15 psi. I put 3 tablespoons of vermiculite on the bottom of each quarter jar before I pressure cook.

[@deej7783]

How long do you pressure cook for. Mine goes 30 mins 60 and 120.

[@ThatMeanderthal]

My day was pretty good I spent a good chunk of my morning on IG talking to some fun guys and getting some prizes ready to get sent off for my 1k follower giveaway!

[@Sporangutan]

Sounds like a good day!! I rebuilt my Pc!

[@DarrellDJP84]

Can you use bags instead of jars ?

[@YouTubeHandlesAreStupid]

I put foil caps on my jars for the popcorn tek and used modified jars. I had micropore tape on the GE holes, and the condensation from under the tinfoil still got them wet. Should I replace the micropore tape, or just let it self-dry and let it ride?

[@Lurch_the_Lurker]

let it ride!

[@ashleyhazel6310]

Came here for that same question. How did it go?

[@YouTubeHandlesAreStupid]

@@ashleyhazel6310 dont replace it. Let it dry out. Micropore tape is resilient. Also, don't get lured into modifying your lids. Either go upside down lid with the metal ring or get the plastic and leave halfway screwed on. Self healing injection ports and breathing holes are just additional vectors for contamination. I've learned a lot.

[@droidnick]

I have metal lids and rings, but what do you mean by "upside-down"? ​@KZbinHandlesAreStupid

[@JSammys]

@@droidnickturn the lid upside down

[@jdcd001]

Do you tight sealed the bottles or leave them loose?

[@stevengerrard-ye1oy]

Wanna know this aswell, is it ok to tighten The lids when there is a Hole in The lid with micropore tape On it?

[@philipholman9898]

Subbed

[@klaymistic4810]

I have a question please start the timer as soon as you put it on the stove or do you start at once it hits 15 psi?

[@Ms.Kelani]

25mins @ 15 psi. Make sure you listen to how he says it.

[@YouTubeHandlesAreStupid]

How long is this grain good for once it's sterilized? Can I do a bunch of grain at once and let it sit for a bit as I wait on my spores/LC/agar/etc? If so, how long?

[@philipm3173]

As long as you store in very clean conditions

[@billprice6458]

Oats.

Man... 2 month in and you give up? Last content 8mo ago😢

[@cryptorevolution2k229]

Did 15 psi for 25 minutes all my kernels were cracked dude 🤦‍♂️

[@wheremylifego3790]

Love people Total noob here here, how were the lids modified and why please, and when referring adding as much water as the instruction manual says ?? Which instruction manual? Lol 🫣#illgetthere🎉
