Im considering the best way to adapt this pasteurizer on a budget so that it can also be used as a 1 psi PC.  Wax paper is a start...  I have 14 dozen 1.5 pint jars that aren't in use because the volume limitations of the pc's I have now dictate using quart jars or a spawn bag instead.  I don't have very many quart jars..

this looks good...




I have read RR's boiler, before automation, could runs 4 days on a full drum of water.  Can a few inches of H2O work for a 9 hour run?  I would like to sterilize 4 layers of 25, 1.5 pint jars of rye..no additive except coffee and gypsm..no bran, spawn bags, or quart jars so maybe even a shorter time.  I got 14 dozen of these 1.5 pint jars for FREE so I would like to know how to use them because in my 23 qt pc's they would be 3/4 as productive as quarts.  I can still only fit 10 jars per load.

I'm also concerned that my 30 psi, high btu burner might not be the best for a 9 hour boil of much less water...

thoughts???

You can get a regulator to throttle it down if necessary.

I wonder what psi would be suitable?

Less than 5 if you're talking propane or natural gas.

Longer Straw Soak then planned.... [Re: RogerRabbit]
    #14700700 - 07/01/11 07:55 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)


I wanted to soak for 24hrs but there were changes in the plan like always.  After 24 hrs I drained the straw and checked my propane connects with soapy water.  Sure enough the propane tank valve had a cracked seal where the regulator attached (thx tank exchange program).  I went and got a another tank and filled up the 55 with fresh water and the already soaked straw.  Then my girlfriend totally mindfucked me and I just left the straw where it was.  So the straw has soaked for about 40hrs with a 2 hr break after thwe 1st 24.  Can I pasteurize this straw today?  Should I just chip $7 more straw.

Im anxious to use some jars that appeared totally colinzed 3 days ago..I got a nice smooth "rice rocket" tire to bonk the jars on finally ..

Why not insulate the bottom half of the barrel with more fiberglass? [Re: aris]
    #14707152 - 07/02/11 03:31 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

The top half got up to 140 F in 2 hrs.

I turned off the heat and removed the top at 153 F (NEXT TIME 140).. Temp continued to bubble up from the depths to 170 F so I removed the side insulation.  err I was aiming for 140-160F 

I wonder if I should have let the whole thing cool down in the water.  Instead I hoisted it out 90 min after reaching 140 F and dumped it out on the table to cool.  Wanted it out because that 170 temp just wouldn't drop for the last hour. 

Using a hook ended metal rod as be my third hand, I figured out how to dump the basket.

After it was about 115 F the pile was stirred a few times with my bare sanitized arms.

The whole setup ought to be taller. ^^^^^^

The Straw log jig really works like a charm.  I couldn't be happier. :smile:

Why not insulate the bottom half of the barrel with more fiberglass?

I weighed the propane tank on a home scale.  In 82F weather it looks like this process took less then 3 LBS of propane.
