Have you tried moving the SAB in to a small room with nothing in it? Like an empty closet? Not having air moving around is very helpful as well.

[...stuff...]

And this is why we need flow hoods... lol.


So, I moved into a studio appartment, no small rooms, just one small place. I think I got it under control, last pour was 0 contams. Feeling more confident, doing the work that I can... and yes to the flow hood, likely will be seeing something like that soon!


Rock. Happy for you. Fixing to build one, too. - Contams at 0 is baller. Something I toyed with for a bit was hanging poly from the ceiling in a corner to isolate it. Set my plastic table and SAB there for a while. Worked well to isolate the area. That hood though...

Those things are dope AF. The 160 liter is completely worth it, too. Second floor apartments with no help moving = not so great, but damn is it worth it. 160 degrees of goodness. :smile: Happy for you. The Cabela's dehydrators rock out.

I was looking for mulcher and found this beast.  Guy said if I got it out of his garage it was mine!  Chopped a bail of straw in 20 mins or so.  Ran it through 3 times.


Cool man! Great timesaver too


OMFG... you think that thing can handle 11 pound blocks of coir, too?!?! (I have to find a way to break these things down faster...)

I need to move out to the fucking country.

Like seriously, what kind of jobs could I do out on the country that would make a living wage? I've got some cooking skills and mycology skill... and then a bunch of desk work and HR bullshit experience.

This was inspired by ya'lls scores and having room to even have a mulcher.

I hate 11lb blocks of coir, they are such a bitch to hydrate. You always have to break them up a few times to get the core to hydrate all the way it seems.

I scooped this yesterday for $200 on CL. Cabelas 160 liter dehydrator with 22 tray capacity, although they only had 11. They retail for $450. They bought this about 7 years ago, used it once, and it sat inside since. It's essentially brand new. Now I just need to fill it.




The 160 is amazing. You will never need all the trays unless you feel like making banana chips. :p Usually only need about 11 anyway.

Passing a tip on from LotKid... cut out parchment paper squares. Be sure to leave room around the edges for air circulation. They work like a dream and last a very long time. Best way to go.

Right? For the money they were to best deal I could find... have to take a butcher's knife and cleave them along the lines to make sheets, weigh the chunks, and then break the chunks up... by hand... forever...

Making up eight or more tubs worth of coir that way is tedious... very tedious... and when things time out right and I'm staring down the barrel of two sets of ten tubs... fucking fuck.

I don't know if I want to ruin a brand new electric knife trying to figure out a way to do things faster; however, I am not above that. Lol.

I use 10 lb blocks of coir and just pour 5.25 gallons of boiling water on one in a big ass cooler, come back in 30 and scrape  the expanded stuff to the sides and flip the block and scrape again, then walk away until the next day, stir it up real good and break up the chunks before wiping my tubs out with iso and tape them up. By the time I’m done its ready to use. Its enough coir for about 5-6 monotubs, I try to use it asap but I’ve had it sit for weeks with no problems except when ants try to make a nest in it. If you need to make smaller batches I suggest using a saw to cut it up, bandsaw if you’re got it, circ or hand saw should do the trick too.

Nice. I appreciate the notes.

I'm going to give your method a shot fairly soon to see how it goes. I may split the block in half along the cleave lines just to help things along.

My grey matter is always spinning up new ways to skin that cat.

I will have to try that. I'm not a super fan of the butcher knife for cleaving the coir sheets.

Thanks.

Got some more info on these things. Went and picked up 3 of the size that is one bigger than the one I've been using for a long time... now I think I should have bought more. Lol.

*DRUM ROLL*

"Bang Bang Drainer"

These are also known as "wash tubs" but if you search them up that way they only go to about 12" in diameter. My old one is 22.5" and these three new ones are 27". The old one can handle up to 30 jars worth of grain, but does best with 20. These new ones should be able to handle 40 jars worth effectively. That's the hope anyway.

Don't double post yo.

But that is cool Ive found for large amount (sandman420) that a cotton sheet is amazing.

That barrel I posted does everything except dry grain. I just dump it on the cotton sheet with 2 fans on it.

At first the moisture soaks to the bottom so flipping the grain around to get the underside floor and cotton is key for a nice quick dry.

Can't ever pass up the plasticware sections at the dollars stores. Found these beauties. Square ones were 8 for a buck, and the round ones were 10 for a buck. The lids even snap on pretty tight. Gonna clean them out tomorrow!
