Pressure cooking quart jars (question)
    #19351637 - 12/31/13 03:46 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

so im about to start a wbs grow and the tek i am following says to use "at least 16qt PC" i only have an 8qt.

It can hold 3 jars at a time, do you think it will be fine? or should i get a bigger one.

it will work but bigger i won't argue with:shrug: for small ones you may consider running it just under 15 psi, it will help keep your water in for the whole run:thumbup:

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

I'm tired do me a favor

So long as it holds pressure @ 15 psi, a 90-120 minute cook would be sufficient.

That model, though smaller than recommended can work great for education.  You can learn lots with just one quart of colonized grain. 

If/when you move forward and start seeing bigger, you realize that a "66qt monotub" requires 4-6+ quarts of spawn depending on circumstances.  In your situation that would mean 2 full cooking cycles to make one tub. 

The 16 quart PC generally will hold 7 quart jars, so it is essentially a time saver.

My opinion is that what you got will work great for learning things, but your education will certainly move faster the more spawn you can get colonized.

:whathesaid:

3 qts at a time will have you spending a lot of time babysitting the stove.

Presto 23qts can PC 10 jars at a time and they only cost about $75.
