Hi,

As the title reads tbh. Is it necessary to soak for at least 24hrs prior to boiling? Ive seen the cool box method, would a sealed bucket be sufficient?

Or any other methods...........

I would say yes, done it in a cool box, done it in a bucket that then fit inside a cool box and also a straight bucket on it's own

This is used in carp fishing? If so, first I've ever heard of it

Cheap, easy to prepare and effective to fish over the top of

You've been missing a trick then, have you heard of Partiblend maybe, same thing pretty much, it's the aniseed that makes it special IMO

So this is a similar preparation method to tiger nuts. Soak then boil.

Is it boil for 30 mins?

Still haven't figured out how I'm going to get around my missus from going nuts when she sees me cooking up hemp, tiger nuts, maize, bloody pigeon conditioner now, especially in our new house we've just moved into

dont boil it, just soak in a cool box full of hot water.

Does it have to be a cool box? Can it be done in just a bucket?

Yes, make sure you dont put too much in as it expands, have 2 inches of water over the seed.

Yes will be fine in a bucket with sealed lid

Ok cheers guys 👍🏼 ill try just a couple of cups full of conditioner n see how it goes before i do a full mix

To keep the water temp up I put it in a bucket/cool box with just enough boiling water to cover it, check back in a couple of hours and top up from the kettle again so the seeds are just covered, doing it that way it's always sat in hot water for the first day at least, having said that don't overthink it, it's pigeon/fish food
