Way to sterilize PC because of my stupid mistake
    #18977342 - 10/14/13 04:14 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So yea my dumbass left some wbs soaking in my PC for way too long and the rot smell still havent subsided. Im not going to use it until i feel its 100% sterile but ive rinsed it and washed it with bleach and soaking it in some iso right now, i was wondering if you guys have any ways of making sure something is 100% sterile?

i was also going to run the PC through and boil some water in it but any tips would be nice as i feel really stupid about letting this happen. :eek:

Just as you said, run the PC at 15 PSI for an hour or so with a few inches of water inside of it.

The PC will sterilize itself if you use it. Other than that any cleaner good for aluminum(if that's your PC's material) is your best bet.

Since there's nothing inside of it you would only have to run it for like 10-15 minutes.

Okay thank you both for such fast replies i will do that tommorow, ill boil some water in it then dump most of it out and run the PC for around 20 mins with a small amount of water.. does that sound good? Because it seemed as if the WBS was maybe sporulating, which is bad news. i hope i didnt mess up future grows.

The wbs was fermenting. Although if you soaked in cold water there's less sugars for wild yeast and bacteria to feed on there's still some(among the other things they can and will eat). If you used hot water some starches might have went through conversion and it would smell really horrible and probably a bit vinegar smelling. It's all good you could actually just wait till you need to run your next set of jars and that cycle will take care of the PCs shit.

bacteria and mold spores die at 250*F which is the temp your PC reaches at 15psi.. I would run it for 60-90 minutes to be sure you kill everything, as that is the standard time we use for PC'ing grain jars. 20 minutes will probably be enough to kill it though if you're short on time.

I soak and boil my grains in my PC. After I am done boiling, I just use dish soap to clean it before running it. No matter what's in there, it'll sterilize as you use it.

I cook my agar for only 30m that has to be just as sterile as grain jars. 5 minutes would probably do it since there's nothing the heat needs to penetrate. I would do 20. Not like the inside of your PC needs to be clean any way I would probably not even bother cleaning mine until the next time I wanted to use it unless it had shit sticking to it.

I use my PC for canning as well as shroom grows--jars crack every now and then and make a mess--just wash that bitch with a scrubber like those with scratchy on one side and sponge on the other and some dish detergent--bleach if you are anal about it and run that shit--ive used some fermented grain in the past--doesn't do any different either--good luck man--don't sweat it

Don't run your PC with nothing in it. That's a good way to warp it.

Just scrub it with dish soap and steel wool. Vinegar if you feel like it.

ahh hell---yeah other guy don't run it empty--just wash and scrub and rinse then proceed as usual--was what I was saying---15psi kills shit that is on meat and stuff--and 2 hours is unheard of in canning food--nothing is that "nasty" in canning--other words 15psi for 2 hours seriously kills some shit

You can run it with just water but not completely empty as in empty of water too.

Ya'll be trippin

Just wash it and let it sit till next time you use it.

There's no need to sterilize it before using it.

For God's sake.
