Iv had my presto for at least 4yrs and have literally ran hundreds of cycles, grain/agar and haven't replaced the plug or the seal yet. But I do take care of mine oil the seal every now and then, and I also heat it up slowly on the stove before all the cycles idk if that makes a difference but its seems to have lasted for a while.

I've got a presto that has a 8 year old seal and plug. The seal leaks a shitload at first but will stop once pressure starts building its definitely ready to be replaced. If I soak it in hotwater ahead of time it doesn't leak at all. I just kinda avoid using that pressure cooker most of the time lmao.
8 years dam! That's gotta be a record lol. I'm just over a year on these seals and sitting here thinking of buying new ones. no leaks yet but I suppose it will be good to have them when it dose leak.

"Both alcohols, ethyl and isopropyl, can kill several bacteria in 10 seconds or fewer in the lab, including Staph aureus, Strep pyogenes, E. coli, Salmonella typhosa, and Pseudomonas species, some of the bad actors in infections. For M. tuberculosis, it may take as long as five minutes of contact."
I mostly spray iso o to surfaces with a spray bottle, good to know that you should let it sit for 10 seconds or so to take effect.

I do alot of the same maintenance myself, so at least I know I have time yet lol. Just sitting here in the middle of a run, it kind of hit me about the seals. I figured I would ask around lol.

All I spray is my working surface and the rack I set my petri dishes on. I see lab technicians spraying items with alcohol before placing into laminar flow. I assume my jars are clean enough when they emerge from the PC. I'm not arguing for or against, just adding to the conversation. Anything that I spray sits for about 10 mins or so before I use them. It may not be necessary but isopropyl does kill live bacteria and fungi, might as well use it if you have it (I have 4 x 4 liter jugs on hand)

Ok so got my vacuum cups. They still dribble if you tip upside down. There is a lil hole on top the spout tip. I cut lil square of felt and covered with 2 layers micropore tape. Dropped couple marbles in. The LC is made of malt extract and water. That's it. Never used but wanted to try. Tonight I poured some plates and knocked these up. One with ape "kingkong" clone #2 t2 The other one with melmak iso3 agar clone t1. We will see how it goes. How well filter works how well malt Lc works. Excited to try new stuff.

I have bags getting ready to be spawned soon. Pe6 clone, Rustywhyte, Averys Albino. Lost 2/18 bags so far. Not perfect but not bad.

this depends on how often you let it get past 20 psi. the more you do the less often it lasts. just blew mine tonight and it was on there for not even 6 months

Ooo that sucks man! I usually run at 16 psi. Definitely over that 200 jar mark on these seals. Was it a pretty loud pop? Or did you seal just not let you build pressure?

I think mold. Next time, put the spore syringe to agar instead of grain first.

Is there blow out plugs that do this at 20 PSI? How far past 20 PSI were you ted? I thought even the presto blowouts didn't go until mid twenties but maybe I am mistaken
