Anyone else have problems with their AA pressure gauge?
    #23506765 - 08/03/16 06:11 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

So I havnt really had an issue with it, but my last batch of master grain jars I made all went bacterial, could of been spawn, but I did only sterilize for 90 minutes as opposed to 2 hours which I usually do, but then I started to think about my cookers, I have an AA941 and 921, both of them I bought brand new and out of the box the rockers go off before the pressure gauge reads 15 psi.
The 921 rocks at 14 psi and the 941 rocks at 12? I always just assumed to trust the rocker, but it got me thinking about it a bit. Anyone else experience this with their AA's? And would you trust the rocker more than the gauge? And have any of you calibrated your gauge, and is it necessary? I have been using them day in and out for about 1 year.

Even if it is a little low just prolong your PC time.

Its a pretty common occurrence with the AA gauges being slighlty off from what the rocker is supposed to read.

If you read the owners manual that came with your cookers you'll see that its actually discussed and says that its very likely going to read a few points offs, but the actual pressure will always be close to exact because the rocker weights are correctly weighted for their stamped pressures.

So no worries, your gauge is wrong but not the rocker....

But seriously - now that you brought it up, ditch the rocker and upgrade to the pressure relief valve. Its really an upgrade everyone should be using.:hairmetal:
