I can't be bothered cooking hemp(I don't use it much) , I buy that frozen from my local tackle shop, but I do most other things.
Groats are something I'm using a lot of
I don't like the idea of shelf life particles tbh surely all the goodness is destroyed

I wouldn't ever entertain buying prepared particles that fred in a sheds knocked up, i like to prep my own purely so i know how fresh they are and exactly whats in them. Of course thats just me, each to their own and all that.
Although, i would buy the dynamite tubs if i was desperate because thats good stuff.

Always sourced, brought & prepared my own, it was the only choice way back and over the years I now have a certain set of ingredients I will add, experimenting is half the fun and as long as it's not costing silly money then what's the harm.
I can understand the pre-prepared particles for those new to carping, or a lack of freezer space, even only using very small amounts in their fishing but if you are able then I think it better to do them yourself.

always done my own ,hemp tigers and maize, got a nice big burco and cook em all in my shed ,also get a endless supply
of moleasses my mate drives a tanker that delivers the stuff. as other post you can custom your own hemp decide how much ..if any chilli flakes you add ect. its ok if your geared up, big chest freezer is a huge plus.

I did a load last year then didnt use half...i'm currently laid up with torn meniscus and and sprained ACL ... it makes a great cold press the hemp maize and seeds fit great around the knee as it thaws.. I'm wondering can I still use it .. I hate waste ??
Does anyone else put milk powder in ?

Yes mate, good prices and again yes you will end up with roughly double the weight of the dry goods.

I prepare my own to and have done well on a mix with 1 part tigers, 2 parts hemp and 3 parts maize all soaked and cooked together. While prebaiting or fishing I throw in a few boilies and sometimes some sweetcorn in for good measure.
Deffo do them myself as have done for years.
Living in a rural area there are plenty of animal feed mills where hemp, pigeon conditioners, maize whole, chopped or flake are easily obtainable plus maples, tigers etc to order.
Local equine outlets are a cheap source of molasses, garlic powder etc and Asian supermarkets for Belachan, fenugreek, vanilla etc.
Daft not to really 👍

I don't know any other way...,you get more for your money doing it yourself..

What's everyone's prep/boiling/storing setup like?

It completely amazes me how many people do not make their own! I can't imagine using something pre made unless it's a jar of the dynamite stuff which is a nice substitute.
I hear such negative stuff about the prepared gear out there
One of the Facebook pages is rife today about manky Particles.
Cooking your own is cheaper, better, and edges can be applied 😂

See this alot recently. 'Your replying to a year old thread". So what !
How many times do you see "Do a search" on here?
There's not any rules regarding posting on year old threads.
For the record it's a mixture of both for me. Happy to do my own, also happy to buy pre-prepared.
