52 qt Tamale Steamer for PF Tek sterilizing?
    #24250097 - 04/16/17 08:36 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

Would this be legit to do? Sterilizing 40 BRF / Verm cakes in 1/2 pint jars in a 52 Quart Tamale Steamer

I want to do 40 jars, 4 SFCs worth hopefully.

I just think it would save a lot of time and energy if I used this tamale steamer versus using a standard size pressure cooker for 40 jars all damn day, literally this would take all day with the standard size.

The only reason I'm suggesting to be using a 52 Quart Tamale Steamer, is because it was given to me for free to use for this project alone, so I came here looking for some reassurance. I don't wanna bunk $80 worth of syringes or ruin quality specimen for that matter.

Thank you in advance <3 much love, peace, and hippy grease

not sure about the amount of jars but a steamer like that would work great for pf jars. i used a lobster steamer for years.

80 in syringes? spend 70 on a PC and another 10 on a random freebee from a vendor and do bulk grains?
you dont need a deli counters worth of selection or 100 cakes. just grow some shrooms brother.:thumbup:

Thanks :smile:

Yea the syringes are a little less than $20 from the website, pretty legit.

I grew some Golden Teacher last year with one syringe I only did 10 jars, but I wasn't able to get them all to fit in the pc I have, I guess mine is a small pc? Anyhow, I was only able to get 4 to fit at a time, I steamed them in a pot with a lid for an hour and a half in three cycles... I only got two contaminations on the first attempt, it may have been from not letting the subtrate cool-down enough after sterilizing.

This time around I want to do 4x SGFCs worth which would be 4 syringes worth if I did 40 cakes. I'm planning on using 1/4 ml per hole, 4 holes on the sides spread even. :smile: I used masking tape last time to cover the holes and then foil wrap during steaming, just puncture the tape when inoculating. Dunno if it is worth it or not to tape the holes over or not, may be causing contaminants?

I wanted to grow a few types of strains to see which did best for my style and maybe make a print from each of the best looking ones from each flush and make a syringe and start again :smile:
