What am I doing wrong with the Pressure Cooker
    #23185129 - 05/03/16 04:06 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

So what the hell am I doing wrong. I did a first batch of PF Tek jars and after pressure cooking the mixture looked really wet and it looked like water got under the foil. I said fuck it and inoculated them anyway.

Those are now 11 days in and they look funny (pictures will be at the bottom)

I started a second batch today just in case they were too wet and this time I bought SFDs to ensure I didn't have a problem.... but still I did.

This is what it looked like out of the PC after it had cooled like 18 hours.
It was somewhat like a super sticky oatmeal texture.



So what am I doing wrong? I don't think I'm going to noc these ones.

So here are the ones that have been in the incubation chamber for 11 days... Do I need to trash them?

Good call.

I mix 2 part vermiculite, 1 part BRF and 1 part water in a bowl. Then I put in in the jars and wipe a clean wall about an inch then filled with a vermiculite barrier. I put on a jar lid with 4 holes in it and cover that with a SFD then the lid AND foil.

in the PC I put lids down below the tray and keep the water below the tray then load up all 12 jars into the PC and heat it until steam starts to release then I put the pressure weight on until it pressurizes and I get the tempt to a stable yet slow rock of the pressure weight for 90 mins. Cooled overnight.

90 min is for PF steam (no pressure) sterilization or for grains in PC. Believe you can cut back the time.

I've had issues leaving jars in PC overnight. Very humid inside there and you could get more water absorbing in. Smaller jars likely lower that amt compared to mycobag or quarts though
