Very cool Missin’! For clarity, I don’t “boil” my water…just hot enough that I can manage to keep my finger in it without pain! Good thing I still have 10 digits! 
And congrats on the bean-making! (Sorry, busy morning over here today!)

I would guess that out in nature the inital water the seeds would get ; would not be that hot.
I go for consistent warm to pop them

Me too really @royal.
A lot of this stemmed from the Cobb process, where a Seed was found in a finished Cobb, that had been through the process. I soaked that seed, and it germinated.
I had no idea a seed exposed to 40C would germinate. People started piping-up about temps… Warm & Hot became peoples quiet secret…

Not yet… I actually hand-cracked one in each container this morning. Just to cover another option in each vessel

When the Squirrel Tail had the seeds bumped from her branches, I grabbed the fox tails and put them into curing mode.
And keeping my hands off. Waiting for a few Grove bags, but the “bud material”, is holding tight at 61% RH, (in a big zip)
I’ve also just mistreated the Bhadra in the same fashion. Seeds were easily collected via 3 minutes of banging-on the garbage bag. plant is hung-up to continue drying
Bhadra droppings below
I’m looking after a few promises right now fellow og’rs. In April I will be giving some Flips away from the Seeds collected in this 2023 grow.
Happy to share whats available
