New ginormous SAB 5
#23359068 - 06/18/16 07:53 PM (7 years, 7 months ago) |
|
|
Just thought I'd share a pic of my new ginormous SAB I made tonight. My old one was getting cramped even with just like 10 grain jars in it. This should give me room to move stuff around.
This time, I used my BernzOmatic to smooth edges around the arm-holes.
It's a 50 gallon tote. The table it's on is 48"x24".

Don't be jelly

I always wondered if big SAB's were okay to make or not. Ima have to get me one of them there contraptions.

(Grain-to-Grain) Damion5050's Coir Tek (I use 5.5 - 6 quarts of water instead of 4. Also ignore step 13 and ignore the monotub completely. The only purpose of this tek is to show you how to make a simple substrate. I also add gypsum to it but not necessary) Spitball's Monotub Tek (A liner isn't necessary but is useful) Use 6500k lights throughout the whole process. When you wake up, turn the light on. When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

I'm sure there's a point where it's so big that it becomes harder to keep the air very still, but then it would probably be too big to reach everywhere anyway. I honestly wouldn't go any bigger than this one.

I've been using the same one forever. Agar wasn't as bad, but I had to shuffle jars around 10 jars, and I agree, it's kind of a PITA.

I bought a 150L tote for a SAB. Too bad I melted the arm holes, would have made a killer mono. I don't use it anymore so now it just sits there holding my straw bale. What a waste, damn thing cost me 45euro.

@magicMerlin: I got it at Walmart. They have the same one at Home Depot. Sterilite model 1479.
@Subnet Mask: Yeah, my first one was a 66 qt and it was PITA to do grains. My last one was 108qt.
I just noticed my totes are PP5. Hmmmm. Very interesting.

Yeah man that's a killer idea, too bad. 
How important do you think it is to have something covering the holes when not in use?

not very important. I like to cover them if it's going to be sitting for awhile but I'm not done working or I realize I need to leave the room while I have certain things going on. Sometimes it gets hot in the room and I need to turn the AC on for a while and I like to use them then. I hardly ever cover the arm-holes otherwise though. I may not have covers for them at all on this one.
I like to cover them while petri dishes are cooling mostly. Trying to keep a roll of petris stacked is almost impossible, so I split the stack in like thirds. Then, I re-stack them so I have two stacks. I cut the wrapper in half, instead of opening at the ends, so I can cover two stacks separately.
If you mostly use no-pour agar, then arm-hole covers are probably completely unnecessary.

my arm hole just cracked lol. straight down to the bottom. think silicone will do the trick? or maybe ill just leave it.. its not really hindering much. wont cause any extra air flow unless i rush it.
and someone mentioned covering holes? just alcohol wipe and disinfect before each use is all i do. does the trick. and a quick spray of ozium never hurts either. (kills something like 99.9% of active bacteria in the air?)

You can just use tape to cover the crack and keep it from flopping around.

fair enough. i used a thin layer of silicone which did the trick. but if it ends up failing ill just tape it up.
or maybe its time to upgrade out of my 76qt(i think. it looks bigger than my 66qt monos by just a hair) SAB.

Actually, mine's 50gallon= 189L= 200qt. Hoss1234's is 22.5gallon= 85L= 90qt. So, less than half the size of mine.
Don't you crazy kids have conversion apps for your phones and computers? I keep a tape measure in my glove compartment, too.

I forgot to mention I added a piece of plexiglass for clear viewing. It's 8"x10" and I think 1/8" thick. About $3 at Lowe's, pre-cut. They have different sizes pre-cut for pretty cheap. It's just duct-tapped on.

I like it. I seen this tub on sale, might have to pick one up and rebuild my SAB.
SBJ laying down the law. You need more room in your SAB.

I love the extra room.
Funny thing is, I actually thought about getting one of those magnifying glasses on a stand with a swivel arm..lol. But, I think I'm alright for now. I should probably actually get glasses though.

i have a 40gal(i think. it might even be 50) rubbermaid tub. its not see through, but do you guys think it would be worth turning into a big SAB? lol
a quick trip to the store to grab some plexiglass would be cheap and easy. and a big window in the front is probably enough to get done what needs to get done within it..
it would be a definite upgrade from my 76qt SAB; so long as its functional.

My only issue with my 105 quart SAB is height. I've been pondering the idea of cutting some arm holes in the lid so that I can flip the SAB onto its back (its wider than it is tall) or just onto one of the sides if I really want some extra height for G2G or bags. A transformable SAB, kinda.
Hopefully that makes sense. I would have pics but I don't want to burn all the melted plastic off my coffee can for cutting new holes or spend 40 bucks on a big hole saw.

Sure, that won't matter any as long as you make a plexiglass "window". Might wanna do 2 of those, one on the side so you can see and one on top so the light can enter easily. Either that or hook up on of those LED strip lights on the inside of the SAB. I would prefer the light coming from outside though so you won't have to pass wiring through your box.
