Cooking Hemp in bulk

[bails]

Does anyone have any recommendation of cooking Hemp in Bulk?

 

I made up 50 pints yesterday, making it in a pressure cooker...the problem is there is only so much you can fit in and the Mrs was going mad with the smell after several hours of it.

 

I have heard there is a boiler you can buy, but don't know where to look.

This is what you want. But you can pick them up cheaper than this one

Why not just use a stock pot and a cool box ?

 

Fill the pot with hemp and water, get it up to boiling on the stove and transefer to a cool box. Heat up the next lot and add that to the box as well. A big box should hold three big pots of hemp - about 20L. Leave it for a couple of hours and you're good to go.

Just a question, how do you store all that hemp? Does it not go off?

 

On the rare occasion i use hemp i pay extortianate amounts and pay for tinned stuff

I don't do quantities like that any more but when I do have a cookup, I let it cool, bag it up and freeze it where it will effectively keep indefinitely.

Thanks guys, yes, I also freeze it.

Good call - I do small amounts using an old thermos flask if I need some for the next day.

 

With both methods remember to leave room for expansion!!!
