Hey guys just a quick one,
Doing a BWKO batch using green valley cracked maize, wheat, and cracked barley.
I asked the company if they use preservatives and pesticides on their product and they said no preservatives but in around a bout way would not deny pesticide use. They said they are not organic, I guess they source their product from many different growers.
They did say however the grains are put through a state of the art cleaning process to remove all dust and particles.
Anyhoo does this sound ok to use? I don't want to get to the 6th gen and realize I've screwed this.
Cheers peoples :happy-partydance:

I doubt very much that unless the bag says certified organic any cracked corn you buy is pesticide free. Bolworms are a bitch. Being stock feed I would assume its below acceptable limits.

They make organic stock feed :wtf:

I'd use it, it seems about the same quality as what I've been using and what most would be buying as stockfeed maize :handgestures-thumbupleft:

What are bolworms? Are they a northern oz thing?

Devastated my last crop in Perth.
Wouldn't want them in a commercial crop.

Thanks guys. Think i'll continue on with it and see what happens.
Just finished stripping the second gen and was pretty happy with how it was all smelling even tho i have no experience doing this... :think:
6 gens should give me 35-40lt enough for a spirit run cant wait!
