You guys ever get water bubbling out of the pressure lock during venting?
Not sure if I should be worried or if it’s just from putting extra water in.

Really?? I don’t remember ever seeing it before. This new burner is much smaller than my old one so maybe it’s something about the way it’s heating. Normally I turn it on to vent and come back to a nice steam cone shooting from the vent and that’s it, but this time there was steam and water bubbling up from the lid lock thing along with the vent.
I put the rocker on and gave it ten minutes and no pressure built so I just killed it so I can inspect it first. It’s been a while since I used it so hopefully it didn’t rust shut or get dust inside jamming it up.

If you're getting water bubbling up from your pressure lock on a Presto then twist the bottom part and the top part in opposite directions to undo them and replace the gasket if necessary or simply clean the build-up around it.
It's just two threaded pieces and a rubber/nylon/whatever washer.
If you're trying to vent your PC for ten minutes and it's bubbling then put the rocker on and let the lock come up then take the rocker off and do your vent.
The gasket is part number 85659, the whole assembly is 85407 and it's like $7 just make sure you tighten it fairly well so the gasket makes a uniform seal.

Yeah I know, usually I use Polyfill-Lids but it sucks to stack them and I prefere the clean view. Maybe my lids are just not working for the unmodified Lid-Tek, because there is not a big screw-way between full-open and closed so its just possible to close the lid like usual or open it and I will open them out of the SAB by mistake.
Fking europe, shitty Pressure-Cookers, shitty plastic-boxes or expensive as fuck, shitty jars (nothing like masons or similar) or expensive as fuck..
So u guys mean they are all contaminated now?
Noone here who failed same way like me?  If they are 90% cont now, I'll toss all and restart with my Presto-baby which should arrive right after christmas

Ya I get some leakage for awhile. Sometimes I poke it and it stops. I figure if there's a constant flow under the weight then 
Hey AKA ya gonna LAGM with us? Have the old timers outgrown LAGM?

Please, more experienced people, i need your opinion on these 2 rye jars. Pictures show them exactly 2 weeks after inoculation, syringe to grain, Cubensis. Are they Healthy ? They look fine to me, don't smell bad, but on second picture (jar 1) you can see some kind of yellowish tint. Is this normal ? I'm surprised at this rate of colonization if they are good.
Jar 1
Jar 2

Thats contaminated, all of them.
Dont use them for bulk. If you want to have fun once (and if they fully colonoize) you could attempt to fruit them i the jar.
I would toss them though

You guys are just beating up on that purpose built, ready made tub. It's not completely useless..... It is inspiring me to come up with a gimmicky instant cash pitch that I can run for a few months before disbanding the company. 
A.k.a., others already answered but I'm here so I'll chime in. Depends slightly on brand/model I think but I agree with whoever said try tightening the bottom on the lock pin. I've found it gets loose sometimes and water vapor condenses as it escapes causing drop and puddles to form. Don't think it is a safety issues anymore than it may become and impromptu pressure plug if the bottom becomes so loose it falls off but I think you would have enough cause to investigate before it reached that point.

Seven days after spawning rye to coir (1:2), both of my shoeboxes look like this. Seeing some decent growth in some spots, some grains look like they haven't bounced back much. The surface has a pretty even covering of mycelium poking through the top of the coir. They're sitting at about 72-74 degrees with light on them 8-10 hours a day. I don't see any contamination, but I'm worried they're a little wet. Any thoughts?

Dont worry, its probably just fine. If its too wet (which you should know of you tested your coir for field capacity) fruits will come very small in the first flush but in the second flush they will come of an adequate size as the substrate's moisture adjusts.

First flush of Substrate over field capacity. Fruits grew about 5 cm.


Second flush looked much better after fruiting without soaking it

Fruits DO tend to get larger in subsequent flushes, but are never that small. A fully colonized substrate will only take so much water. But un colonized coir will take as much as it can, which isnt ideal. Its better to heavy mist drier coir (if needed) that to use it too wet

Yeah I guess I should’ve said that it eventually goes away once the seal is made.. I’d bet money that the the two pieces came unscrewed a bit which would make it constantly bubble up and steam escape... like starbones said
The two things I do every time before putting the lid on is stretch the main lid gasket and make sure the lid lock pieces are tightened together

Faht, i have a question to you. I've seen various times your pictures drying mushrooms on a laundry basquet with a fan on top.

Is this you standard way of drying or do you take them to the dehydrator afterwards?

HI Faht, always a pleasure when you chime in.
I played with it and it appears the screw could be loose and the gasket still seal. When it's leaking and I poke it, I imagine there's a particle on the gasket that gets blown off with steam. 
Life's little pleasure moments when I hear the safety plink down and it's time to get to work!
It's cooler today and the Oats are taking longer to dry. Ya Field Capacity, it's so touchy feely. Like a lot of things here that just can't be completely communicated by words.

This was before I had a dehydrator.. now I just go straight to the dehydrator.. I reference that for ppl that may not have one yet or have a bottleneck because they only have one or two but they have multiple monos ready at the same time and need to get a head start while the dehydrator finishes with the first round so their mushies dont shit spores everywhere
@Inthepit. Yeah I’ve had a little piece of something something get between the gasket and lid before too

Thank you, I was hoping that was the case. I have read so many posts on here of people saying that they had small flushes because their substrate was too dry, so I wanted to make sure I got mine moist enough - maybe I overdid it!
