Walked into my garage with no shoes on and the damn pc top was sitting on the ground and kicked it with my big toe right on the gauge. Bent it..... Bent it back....Now the needle sits high and when it’s at full pressure reads 18psi when I know by the sound it’s only 15

Yeah I mean I know by the sound alone now when I need to turn the heat down a click to let it ride at 15 and when it isn’t there yet so it’s all good just kind of annoying my toe was able to bend it

For anyone experienced with blended LI's who are kind enough to answer some basic questions.
1. Do I actually have to modify the metal sealing jar lid (not the band) or can I just ditch the sealing lid and stick the blade assembly with the rubber ring onto the jar and then screw it down with the jar band? I read something about it but I don't know if it's been proven.
2. Can I use a corded drill to blend instead of the actual Oster blender base? Again, I saw something about it but I don't know what drill bit I'd need for that if anyone happens to know.
Thanks yall
EDIT: So I did the homework I should've done before making this post and a drill definitely can be used. For anyone considering this in:

For those interested in a proper bit. It's the double square. I thought it was a torx, but torx only has 6 points.
Muda also says that he used a large Phillips bit.
But if anyone still has some tips on blended LI with minimal modification that'd be great

My burners been busted for a while so I’ve been back to using an instant pot lately. No prep with mostly millet wbs definitely doesn’t work like it does in a real pc. I lost a ton of jars to bacteria after a week or week and half.
Switched back to 24 hour soak and it’s fine. I’m guessing the millet isn’t wet all the way through so it doesn’t sterilize like it would in the presto.

The white silicone mason jar gaskets are what you want. Do not bother with any other type. All my problems ended when I acquired them. I caulk the three pieces together (mason ring, blade assembly and gasket) and then use masking tape to double up the blade assembly to the ring, as silicon caulk isn't very robust.
The blended motor can be anything, including a ball point pen with masking tape on the butt end of it, spun in your hands to blend. but an oyster blender is pennies on amazon.

I use presto 23's, so the following is tailored to those PC's... I cut four 5x7" pieces of wood, sanded the edges down and place them as wedges to damn up the void. I imagine there are many ways to do this, this is my way.

I actually drilled large holes in the wood to facilitate heat transfer, but honestly, it wouldn't matter as long as the majority of the bag has access to steam. We all overthink that.
I get my bags from a vendor here. I don't know much about different types of bags, other than once in a pinch I bought some cheap bags off of amazon and they were very thin compared to what I am used to.

I just won a long battle with growing conditions. I created a hidden grow closet for low profile mono tubs. I really jammed them in there. But man o man, with minimal lights (2 watts per tub) and the heat of the substrate, left to its own, that closet would have been 20f+ over room temp. I thought I could just vent the heat out... but when I vented just enough to spill the heat out, it was waaaaay to drafty for my totes.
I'm going on three days now with my closet shelves lined with garden hose that is circulating cooled water. The tubs sit directly on the hose. I can set it to any temp. Aaaaaand, now my substrate is at or below my room temp. All sweaty tote condensation is literally evaporating before my eyes. The mushies are so so happy.
I'm tickled.

but make sure you never get a leak because then that whole low profile setup would be counterproductive. if you went away for the weekend and that somehow sprung a leak, your apartment or landlord could come in there without notice. if you own then i guess it's fine.

I've grown a bunch of weed and trust me hoses and shit like that will leak its not if it's when what I would do is put a fan and a heater on a temperature controller so u can have it exhaust but not too much then if it gets to cold it can heat back up the controllers r like 50$ on amazon That's being said good job on the innovation I think u might be the only one with something like that lol

Millet is a difficult one to tune in especially if it’s proso millet with the hard outer shell. Regular white millet soaks pretty quickly but with the proso it really needs either a simmer or a 24 hr soak in really hot water before being jarred up. I mix 50/50 proso millet with wheat and soak in 160f water for 24 hrs, jar it up and pc for 2.5hrs and that’s been working for me. 2.5hrs might even be a bit long and certainly any longer and you’ve lost too much water. But I also use LC so for my grain to be a bit dry is just right for me.

no one is more concerned about leaks than me. Its not under pressure, only 10 gallons total in the system. And I'm using stainless steel hose, which I didn't know was a thing, but apparently dog owners know of it.
When dialing in these no-mod low profile tubs, even the slightest breezes are very harsh on the substrate, the lid crack is just inches away from frying the surface. Trust me, I didn't want to do this system, but I was forced to. And now I'm very glad I did. In particular, Im excited to see about reducing the wet edges by lessening condensation.
