Afraid!?
 I Don't get it... (clinically lack a fear response though)... they're just pliable jars that hold extra... put jar rings between the bags,and between the bags and sides of the PC, in order to allow steam between them for more effective sterilization... vent steam from your PC for 10-15 minutes before adding rocker, bring to 15-18psi for 2.5 hrs (play with the temp to maintain 15psi without rocking violently or losing too much steam and running it dry), I leave them in the PC for 48 hours to cool completely, but I'm also running 4 5 full qt bags in each Presto... you can fold the top of the bag over itself (like an accordion flap)and do them with or without tyvek sleeve tucked into the gusset... I prefer to use them bc they seal without, and can be a PITA to get open... Just

I'd avoid going past 15 PSI as I believe it can compromise the bag.

Interesting... I've been putting a quarter on my weight to hold ~16-17 without rocking... the bags have stretched a few times... hmmm, related perhaps? I'll kick it back next run and see what's up... haven't seen any contamination, but that's not to say it's not entirely possible

Isn't 2.5 hours a little short? I was thinking in the 3-4 hour zone was more like it for bags that big.

Yesh everyone I know that runs them as grain spawn bags goes like 3 hours. Atleast. But those are also big 41.5 quart cookers too. 941s and 75xs
But yesh. If I had my 941 full with bags I'd go 3 hours as a starting point probably

I run for 4 hours 20 minutes.. I tried less hours before with horrible success.. I wouldn't go less then 4 hours honestly..
Stare I cook my bags at 18 with 3 quarters and have no problems ... but I only fold mine once .. I have had popped bags when the air couldn't escape

Sign in on a computer: can't do avatar from mobile/ can resize images from desktop site... I've been running 4, 5qt bags of Oats for 2.5, no issues 
Probably worth mentioning that they stay on the stove until pressure is back at atmosphere, and left in the PC for a full 48 hours before use

Are you waiting for them to get back to room temp or pulling them out warm? I have some cooling in the PC, but don't like that I can't pull them out and fire it up again lol.
Caps, Why do you wait 48 hours to cool?

This jar of sacrcodon imbricatus should not be fruiting. I confess I'm not sure but I think that contamination is active.

I don't care to have my hood running for hours on end... filters are expensive lol
But if it's large enough, you can unload bags in flow and crank back up... even set it up so the bottom of the PC is lower than the hood, so the mouth is in flow... I did a few times with the other hood, but no way with the beast

So that's the only reason to wait, is because its too hot to inoculate?
Any reason why you couldn't unload them warm in front of hood, tie bag with wire, then let cool on shelf. Wouldn't have to run the hood very long and get the PC back and running�

I know how you feel. I confess i dont call my family on the phone. I dont text my wife all day at work. But I check in on the shroomery at least 3 times a day every day. And some days I dont check off. I love this community and all its members. Xoxoxoxo

Good vibes here. Some of the nicest people I've ever never met. The trust, camaraderie and connections have been special for me.
