seaeagle, your response came in before mine. I appreciate your post and I am sure there are many opinions out there about the best method. And Carolyn has said that each person will do what works best for them, in the end. I did try stirring the mixture but then nothing happened and after a week, I threw out my initial batches of seeds. Like I said, then I used Oxi Clean as a back up and now I'm trying fermentation.
Again, thanks one and all!
