Why freeze it, because I use too much. Each day we use at least 1/2 a plastic bucket full.
All I do is fill plastic buckets with seed, cover it with water, 1/2 dsp of Vircon S.
After 4 hrs it is tipped into a plastic bucket with small holes drilled into it.
It is not washed or anything added.
It is drained over night. if it is warm it is put into small containers after 12 hrs if it is cool 18 hrs.
the seed has chitted and the containers are then put in a freezer and will keep for months.
If it has been drained properly when the container is taken from the freezer the seed is quite crumbly.
If it is a frozen ice block it wasn't drained enough.
