Slip up on my first run with my pressure cooker.

So I soaked my WBS for 18 hours, then simmered them for about 30 minutes today. Allowed them to dry for acouple hours. Stirring them up occasionally. Loaded my jars and PC'd them in my new pressure cooker I got today.
This is where I messed up. I only PC'd them for 45 minutes at 15 psi. Should that be good enough? If not, can I PC them for another 30 minutes, or should I restart the the PC cycle?

You can cut your soak/simmer time down too.

All of the teks I've read, have either said 60 minutes, or 60-90 minutes.
I'm sure the full 90 would be ideal, but shouldn't the 60 minutes be sufficent?

The only reason I soaked so long was because I start the soak early eveing and didn't want to mess with it late that night. And I realized I simmered to long as well. Have afew popped grains in there /:

60 min is a little bit of old info. It can work. But 90 is better. Its up to you. Think about it like this, do you want a grow you spent six weeks on not going well cause you skimped on 30 min?

Pasty knows his shit I would take creedence in what he tells you. Sure most of us have pulled off grows with 60 minute PC times but why risk it?

well said pasty!
If all the teks you read says 60-90mins you should fill in the "no older than" box in the search engine! 3-4 yrs or so should be fine!

It's more like 90-120...90 for small batches or if you're short on time, the full 120 for anything like 5+

I won't even tell people how I run my grain cause it goes against the old wisdom. But with heat sterilization longer is always safer within reason of course. Not sure I would advocate a 10 hour cycle, ya might end up with sterilized porridge

Everybody has their ways that work for them. Nothing wrong with doing something different if it still does the job.
And I don't think I could handle hearing my PC run for 10'hours myself hahaQuote:

I do 60 on WBS but I'll have to try 90 on rye berry's sadly enough I had about 4 quarts of green mold. Although it could've been that I used tyvek from the post office as a filter material. Lmao NEVER going to use that crap again, I'll stick to polyfill lids and micropore the quart with polyfill remained contam free

I run for two hour minimum. That's one area I don't skimp. Lol...generally let them go 2 1/2 hours . I used to go 60-90 and was having problems with bacteria.... switched to 120-150 minutes minimum and haven't had that problem in a while. Changed a few things so I'm not sure if that's where the problem was solely originating. But I figure it can't hurt.

Soooo, two slip ups in a row yesterday. When I PC'd the second time last night, I went the full 90 minutes. But the last 15 minutes I couldn't get past 14 PSI. I was holding steady at 14 PSI though.
When I checked the pressure cooker this morning before I left were work, I noticed it was almost dry. I checked the water level before goon into the second cycle and it looked like there was plenty of water, but I guess I was wrong. So I believe that is the reason the pressure wouldn't go past 14 PSI for the last 15 minutes.
Ya live and ya learn.
But here are my jars..

They do look a bit cooked. but they should be fine. At least you didn't run the cooker dry. Tip put some jar rings under your spacer and fill till the water just covers the spacer, and after you reach 15 psi turn the stove down to where the weight is just barely moving it takes some practice but once you learn your stove it gets easy. I know when mine needs turned down from listening in the living room.

Yeah. I can tell ima just have to get use to using a pressure cooker. My first cycle I filled my PC up with 3 quarts of water. And it went almost a quarter of the way up the jars, if that. And I thought they were alil cooked myself but unread that they singer darker after pc'ing so I didn't know what is normal and what not. Lol

I PC 90 mins at 14 PSI. I don't like to hear the weight spinning around being all loud. Sure I could tape a quarter on it like I've seen some people do, but meh. Never had issues with it. Granted, I haven't done as many jars as most people on here.
You will be fine.

Yeah maybe the first one or two cycles you'd have to watch close so as not to run dry but I hardly ever change the water in my pc I just add what had boiled of or eveaporates from sitting. My cycles usually run 90 to 110 minutes and if I have to add a cup and a half

I'm hoping so. Lol. I'm sure I will be. PC'd for 45 minutes and then again for 90 minutes. I just knocked them up with an MS syringe of penis envy. Now the waiting game. Plan on shaking around 20-25%
