i was just wondering whats the proper amount of water, for quart jars with rye? using a measuring cup?

Basic rye recipe for 1 pint jar
100g (=3.5 oz~125 ml~0.53 cup) rye
105g (= 3.55 oz =105 ml~0.44 cup) water
knife tip full of gypsum (optional)
For a quart jar, double the amounts.

i believe it serves as a stabilizer (ph wise), also i heard it prevents or helps the grains to not stick together, so its easier to shake and prob a little faster grow. not Baph but maybe he'll confirm, i myself havnt used it yet but plan on it a bit in futer grows, to experiment ;)

jrfungi , see the 2 posts above mine  ^_^
Gypsum is optional.
I have never used gypsum in my jars.
