hi guys, i was planing doing my first bulk grow. I was wondering if i really needed a pressure cooker for sterilizing rye grains?
I've been doing steam sterilization with my brf cakes, and i'm about 42 for 50 on non-contamed cakes.
And Is there a steam sterilization tek that i could do if i'm able to sterilize with out a pc?

You can steam it 3 days in a row. I cannot remember what the tek is called. But I would get a PC.

It's called fractional sterilization or tyndallization, and it fails 90% of the time.
Either steam the grains for 8 hours, or get a PC.

Had you posted before you tried you may have succeeded, I have had no issues with steaming and its actually easier sometimes when doing lots of jars, just use the right lid and keep an eye on your water and welcome to the boards

Call WAFCO and they will send you a replacement for free. I told them the handle broke on mine and they sent me a new one, not to mention the broken bakelight pieces (they sent me 4).
