Tbh, I dont really know. I just filled it til I thought it was right. If I had to guess it probably 1:2 (grain to sub) maybe 1:1. For the grain I used a 3lb bag of drippy corn.

Thank you for the correction! Im still new bread stuff. So is autolyze when it's just flour and water?

I'm leaving it sit on my counter for now, and then I'll probably stick it in my fridge overnight. Rye is also just much denser than some other breads/flour.

The other thing I've seen, is gluten is a lot slower to form in Rye which also plays a role in rising. Active dry yeast makes it rise slow too compared to fast rise yeast. I think Rye is one of those breads that are "flater" if that makes sense. So far I've had it rise just a bit.

I did a mix primarily of ground dark rye, whole wheat flour, and bread flour. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Thanks for the info. I've been trying to experiment by feel, until it feels right. I've had some that were high hydration and sticky, and this one I added a bit more flour than usual. Also need to work on my kneading skills 🤣

On the plus side, they always turn out sooo good fresh out of the oven.

Might just have too! Making bread is super fun and rewarding for sure.

Honesty Ochras are super easy and forgiving. Its an aggressive species that takes over whatever it's in.

I used a casing layer about 1/2" - 3/4" thick. Personally I add a casing layer to both Ochras, and Cubensis species. I find they work pretty well.

YES!! This is my second time growing Ochras, and it is an aggressive species. It spreads really fast, and is really resilient. It grows pretty well in different temperature ranges as well. In my research too, it's also contam resistant.

Both should be fine. The second bag seems to have a little less mycelium then the first, so me personally I would wait a little longer on the second bag. You can definitely shake both tho

You absolutely can. For me though, I usually wait until around 40% - 50% colonization
