I wouldnβt either I was just sayin 
Question about yours. Once up to pressure and regulated how much water would you lose in a full jar cycle? Like 7 or 10 jars?
I fill mine half way up the jars and it almost runs out of water by the end of a 2hr cycle. Wondering if I need to change out the parts or something

I put like an inch up the side of the jars, if that, and when it's done with a 2 hour cycle it's still touching the jars. So yeah you're losing way too much water.

What kind of pc do you have steevo? My t-fal has a toggle instead of a weight, and the gauge is inaccurate. It took me several runs to find that sweet spot since I didn't have a weight to watch rock.

I usually put a 2 quarters taped on the rocker and a tall shot glass pn top. Then adjust the temp to as low as will keep pressure visually on the gauge(23 quart presto) and seconldy by sporadic singular water droplets vaporizing on top of the pc lid.
Keeps the noise next to inaudible and raises the psi to 17. I rather overshoot a bit than undershoot personally.
The only real water loss is from venting at max heat for 10 minutes not the pc cycle.

Try a shot glass in addition. It acts as a muffler/silencer.

I also have presto. It sounds like you are running it too hot. The weight just needs to be gently rocking not blowing a lot of steam and rattling fast. It should always be gently rocking though. Putting more weight on is just going to raise the pressure in it, if you are running too hot it will probably not fix the problem. Raising the pressure too much could cause a catastrophic problem.

The way i run mine it vaporizes a single drop of water every 5-10 seconds maybe longer. I lose barely any water.
The heat is supposed to be set to LOW once it starts rocking. Read bods PC ezaf thread or watch his videos.

I have an AA921 thatβs why I asked Etherealmind. I run it the exact same as the presto but it loses water. I do exactly what yβall do with yours: bring it to a boil with the lid off, put on the lubed lid, vent it for at least 10min when its steaming steadily, put the weight on, when it rocks crazily I turn the heat down to where it only rocks once or so per minute it hisses constantly and rocks once or twice. The heat on my stove is less than half and it loses a lot of water. Maybe Iβll make a vid if I get some time one of these days. Iβve resorted to filling it up quite a bit in order to run bags in it or itβll run dry by the 2.5hr mark

So Iβve got a few caps that opened up well before the rest, Iβm not sure I can harvest them entirely without damaging some fruits around them. Think I should let them ride until the rest are ready or any other idea would be greatly appreciated.

people cut the caps off so they don't sporulate all over the other mushrooms and substrate
there might be another benefit to cutting just the cap off, i just can't remember what it is
