hi skuzzy i just found a pressurized water tank rated at 40psi, around double the size of your propane tank for two hundred fifty USD
i can probably pass it on to some steel works shop for welding... the only hurdle for this build would be sourcing the manway.. tsk.
whats your bar rating for you manway?

ps. how do you heat it?
propane? LPG?
heating this with a rocket stove might be a good option.

If using a lot of power to heat you would want to increase the number of pressure valves/regulators, so it can actual vent fast enough. Some valves will have the power listed on them, or some other value which can be calculated back.
i.e. I had a steam boiler open to atmposphere, it was venting through a single tube of about 8 or 9mm internal diameter. It built up pressure at high powers, think 6kW was the highest I used. I think it will get to a certain pressure and stabilise, the steam flow out of the pipe would just increase. I turned if off before finding out as the tank began to puff outwards and other gaskets began to leak.
On something that big I would put a second gauge on it too, just incase the first fails. I would also have a temperature probe just to be extra sure its doing what its supposed to be, or what is indicated.

In my experience, I used the gauge , stem and pressure weight right off an all American pressure cooker which is more than adequate . For safety I got two adjustable ball pressure check valves off amazon for $20 dollars each. I set each at 20 psi and they have never even been needed yet because the pressure weight does such a great job.
Everyone is free to do what they want but I of course love my design. I have not needed any more equipment.

Fuck you probably should vent the thing for at least 30-45m. If you ever have any problems with your grain jars its because you were pressurising air.

Not grain jars . 20 5 quart pressure cooker.
That is a good suggestion though..
I pressure cooked for three hours instead of 90 mins so if I have issues this time I will do that.
I never vent my AA ..

Lol I said it was a good idea. I know that lol It's working properly though I did a probe check in a bag. My unit I guess does not heat fast enough for me to vent it. It does that naturally through the valve stem. It takes an hour and 30 just to get up to temp
