Using rye...and it being my first time, i dont know how many are going to fit basically. I have a Presto 21qt PC and am going to fill each mycobag up with 2 cups rye, 2 cups water...to make 2qt bags. How many 2 qt bags can i pressure cook at one time?

Depends on the size of the bag. Just fill a couple of bags with 2 qts of dry grain and see what size they end up and how many you can fit. Theen pour it out and start preparing.
It's not the same if they are short and squat or tall and thin as you wan't as little space between the bags as possible to waste less space. It also depends on the shape of your PC.

Arent they all round?
Are they gonna get messed up that way though? Im sure they wont expand all in one direction so they fit tight... so if they are a little snug when done is that okay? I dont wanna overdo it... thats why i thought id ask before i melted bags or something stupid. (im forced to use a gas stove where we are doing this )

I use 4 qts of substrate in my bags... I can fit 4 of them in my PC... another user Gethyn was just saying the other day how he can only fit 3 in his at the same size.
make sure they have a little room for steam to escape so they dont pop in the PC
I usually use pop cans on their sides to make the space at the bottom for the water needed to PC for 2.5 hours

You can fit 16qts of rye inside your 16qt pressure cooker after putting popcans on the bottom??????
what?
EDIT: You PC your rye for 2.5 hrs? Does everyone else do that as well? i thought an hour was how long i was supose to PC it.

ooo. i just found a 21 qt for the same price as the 16 was...and it was a deal on the 16. woo.
Now this thread is useless. Unless someone says 16 qts ( 8 bags, 2 qts each) wont fit in a 21 qt?

Some are taller, some are wider.
If your bags are very wide you might not be able to fit two on each layer, for example. Plus, fitting rectangularish blocks of grain into a round edged container means you loose a hell of a lot of space.
The only surefire method is to test it, and yes, remember that the grain will swell, some more than others.
If you are using a gas ring remember to have it as low as possible, flames going up the sides of the pot = a big risk of bags melting.

do this:
you should have a rack at the bottom of the PC. put like 4 rings from canning jars under that rack. now you can add more water.
i do this because i dont want the bags so close to the bottom where they have a higher risk of melting from using a gas stove. i even put rings on the sides ofthe bags so they dont touch the walls. im paranoid and over do things. I have 100% success doing it this way.

I will do this as well. I dont want to see any melted bags. How much water will i need in a 21 qt to go for 2.5 hrs? Im excited to see how much i can fit in there.
Dont the rings get hot from touching the inside, and transfer the heat onto the bags its touching? Or will it only matter if the bags are directly touching the sides?
EDIT: I changed the topic to 21 qt, since i bought a presto 21qt lastnight. I had plans of buying the 16qt but, for 5 bucks more... i went with the 21. Now i gotta go over to madseason to order bags!
