Id like 12-15 psi erring on the side of caution by keeping under 15psi. Yeah exploding the fucker is a worry and ill defo be giving it a safety run maybe in the garden or garage on an electric hob away from everyone and everything. Ill run it for a few hours at an indicated 15psi which will prolly be lower actual psi. Maybe do all my future sterilizing in the same manor away from the house.

I have the same one. You can add an overpressure relief valve too for safety.. I think they blow around 17 PSI, but I'm not sure...

Ill look into that, so the instructions say to fit the gasket in the hole so im guessing i drill the hole the size of the white ring gasket or a tiny bit smaller.

exactly the outside size of the white ring gasket is what you want. I had it a bit smaller (1mm) and I was really going through hell to get it in right. Don't forget to put the metal washer on the inside (so same side as the nut), and only fasten HAND tight. If you must use a wrench, only start using it when your hands fail and keep it at one or even a half turn, and stop there.

Awesome exactly the clarification i was after thanks man. Hand tight is a scarey notion being a mechanic screwing a pressure valve hand tight sounds crazy but youve done it and know it works so i will follow your advice.

Didn't even think about jam jars, cheers.

Those aren't wide mouth so aren't ideal for pftek.
Look at Bonne Manan jars. The stores usually do they're own brand in similar shaped jars.

If you are after mason jars home bargain is the cheapest. Quid a jar for 1L. Slightly cheaper for half litre. I ordered cases of 12 online and picked up in shop. Or they will have singles in the shop. I like the cases as they fit in them well.

Don't you have like a store in the UK like Pennies, but then only instead of selling clothes, selling shit like cleaning products, school supplies, pillow casings, cheap ass tools, candy, clear plastic storage containers, and all at pretty low prices?? We have Action over here, they supply half of what you need for mush cult...

yeah, they have coir and wbs at the action too. No verm though You'd need to be at the reptile store for that in these parts... My jars are about 500-600 ml size and they go for about 70 cts a piece if I remember correctly. I also use a lot of mayonnaise jars.

That's the general size. You can follow a standard recipe and just use more verm on top if you want. I've also seen giant pfteks work.
