Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'm new to sprouting - just bought an Easy-Sprout Sprouter, some certified organic broccoli seeds, and followed the sproutpeople instructions on the YouTube video. My first batch turned brown during Day 4 (Day 0 being soak day per video.) Used only 2 Tbsp. of seeds. And yes, I'm rinsing, spinning and tapping. I live in Arkansas, and keep my house at about 70 degrees. I reviewed the video, and decided that I might not have started loosening the sprout mass early enough, so I started a new batch and this time was very careful about that step. I also put a small fan in the area to provide more ventilation. This time my sprouts are turning brown on Day 3. The sprouts themselves are about 5/8 " long, and at every step until brown, they look just like the video. This is very disappointing, as everyone else seems able to do this with little problem. I would be grateful for any help. Dona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I have an easy sprout and I go by Gil's directions on www.sproutpeople.com The only time I have had any trouble is if I went to long between rinses. The sprouts give off warmth as they are growing and they will get hot inside any sprouter. In fact if I remember correctly Gil says not to follow the directions that came with the Easy Sprout. R.
