Quart jars keep bursting

After doing my first grow using the PF tek 1/2 pints, I am attempting to move onto my first bulk grow. I've tried twice to pressure sterilize my large quart jars, but the foil keeps breaking and bursting open! Is there any way to avoid this? I'm using barley in case it's relevant. I'm also sterilizing at 15 psi for 70 minutes. Also my barley turned really brown.

The foil covering the lids breaks? I'm not sure if I understand what the problem is.
Also many folks recommend 15 PSI for 90 minutes.

Don't put the foil on so tight no air can flow through.

Are you putting the foil under the metal rings? If so, that's causing the seal/breakage. The foil layers should be the last things on the jars and, as cloudpersona said, not airtight.
