How many grain jars did you fuck up when learning to operate your pc properly? So far my count is only 5 my complete first run was fucked......had the heat up too high to maintain 15psi.....think I figured it out.....we'll see how my next 9 qt jars go........I inoculated 5qt jars of wbs tonight with a texas orange cap LI.....and the other 4 I put some ATL#7 LI......I pc'ed the jars of wbs 5 days ago......and no sign of any kind of contaminates growing......

What do you mean had the heat up too high to maintain 15psi? Are you using a cooker or canner?

Pressure cooker.......I hadn't used one before and had read on here you want to heat on high until the rocker started moving then turn the heat down until the steam is coming out very slowly......I assumed my first run I had the heat up too high because my rocker was going crazy and tons of steam escaped....that leads me to believe that I wasn't using my PC correctly.....I had a electric one....but gave it away.....it was too small to do a qt jar

Now I heat on high without the rocker on top until steam it spewing out, wait 5 minutes then put the rocker on and bring up to 15psi and turn the heat down to a medium/low temp.....

Ive ran out of water on bags a couple times, so thats like at least 50 jars worth.
Othertimes i ran dry with jars and the tyvek filters melted.
Id say under 100 for sure

My old pc I just set the timer and forgot about it.....I guess like everything else it's just a part of learning to mess a few things up from time to time

I only fucked up one batch of seven jars but I fucked it up real good. I let it run dry just not paying attention, which warped the bottom of the PC and burnt all the rye at the bottom of the jars. Then I went ahead and inoculated like three months later. Five didn't do anything (not even contaminate) and two took about two months to colonize. I left them for eight months, they never pinned, and finally I spawned them outside to a pizza box with some straight cow poo. I think I got like four grams out of it.

Ahhh ok, I was just over analyzing it.. (I'm add)
well In that case, maybe 2 or 3. I started using agar right away so that helped a lot. Most of the time now I rarely run into any contams unless I'm using a syringe. I'm pretty confident with my SAB work, I've been debating getting a flow hood when we obtain a new grow house but the whole thing is to spend as little as possible right 
Forsure look into spawn bags! .50-.70 cents each and can easily hold 8-10 quart jars worth if not more.

 get a PC with a gauge. ive fucked up jars with bad prep. not the PC process.. or your inoculate was dirty.
AA PCs are the shit.. kinda pricey. thats why mine was a combo bday/xmas present. thanks mom!
