Hi Quest boil it for as long as it takes it to split and it looks like little white shoots are popping out of it but do not let it dry out so if the water looks a bit low add some more all the best zapp

or another way , boil some water, give it a minute to go just off the boil pour into a flask with your hemp already inside put the top on the flask and leave over night.by morning its ready to go

Or get an old cool box and use the flask theory. That way you can do about a million pints at a time. Well not quite a million but you know what i mean.

I soak for half day then cook for 20- 30 minutes making sure the water doesn't boil off. Also remember to keep the water that you boiled the seed in, its great for mixing with groundbait.

Quest!! The flask thing!! Don't put too much in at once!! It swells quite a bit!! Try about a third to start with and build on that.

Another little tip you could try is to add a teaspoon of soda bic. if you boil on a stove, makes it go a lot blacker and sometimes it will attract the fish even better!!

Best way to cook it is to get yourself a brewing bin (as for beer) and put an old kettle element in about an inch or so from the bottom of the bin (Through the side of the bucket) place a good distance away from the house add hemp and cold water and plug in the kettle lead. Leave for around an hour, but check after say 15 minutes for water loss and keep the water over the hemp. You can get a couple of gallons at a time and it freezes with no problems at all!!
