What is the best practical way to condition grains?
 

I want to condition my grains but it seems like too much work. I don't feel like spreading out the grains on a board and spraying a layer at a time. I was thinking maybe of putting the grains in a white trash bag and spraying while shaking. Any practical ideas that don't involve making more to clean up?

How about using one of those under bed storage bins? They are easy to hide and would contain the mess.

I use a 7 gallon bucket and tilt it to create more surface area. I spritz with a water bottle 15 times and stir with my hands. Repeat as needed. I also condition and crush the night before brew day. Takes 10 minutes or so.

A bucket, a mash paddle (or spoon) and a spray bottle.

Ditto.

I have used a garbage bag, a bucket and spoon, and the under bed storage container. I stuck with the last because it seems to go faster, about five minutes for 25 lbs of grain.

Whats this about? never heard of conditioning malted grains before mash?? What does it do for the end product?

I have swmbo spray a fine mist into the grain as I pour it into my hopper. Works great. I've tried versions of all this other stuff too, but this is the way I prefer to do it if my helper is around.

I have a large plastic "Feed" bucket like those used for horses. I dump all the grain in and spritze with a water bottle, stirring the grain around with a large SS spoon.
