i never had good luck with the paper towels. i started tossing the beans in a cup of water with 1tbsp of peroxide and have had 100% germ rate since. they are popped and able to put in plugs in 24-36 hrs

Anyone else tried this? If he is right this method seems to work better.

dont use peroxide, use water that has been sitting out for 24 hours or more. just throw the beans in there and come back 8 hours later, poke it and it will sink, leave it at the bottom for the next 16 hours, the tap root will pop out nd its ready to throw into some soil.

my germ success rate is 100% never a failed attempt.

Yeah dude, I've never had a failed attempt with the cup of water method. So easy, even a caveman can do it.

A seed bank I purchased from once told me that the chlorine is good for a seed, It will kill bacteria. I also have 100% rate using this method and I never let the chlorine evaporate first. I have had some pop in as quick as 12 hours and one strain took 4 days.
