I use the unicorn style type 3-B and 3-A. thats the 8x5x19" bags B is the 0.5 micron filter and A is the 0.2. I like em both
14A's are the 0.5 micron bags. 3T's are the 0.2 micron bags.
3B's are 5.0 micron. You don't want those lol. And I don't see any 3As on their website. They now have biodegradable versions of all their bags which is awesome. That will definitely be what I buy nextโฆIf I can ever get through the first box

yeah, I was just guessing on the filter types. although I have used the 5 micron filters before with success. thanks for checking on that! I use the A-type filters then but ya, Ive used a couple 1,000 b filters with success.

Those biodegradable bags are probably worse for the environment, but hey marketing what people like to hear is good for revenue.

Really I was going buy into that maybe not? What would you recommend in disposing of like 50bags a month?

the plastic degrades into the soil instead of staying in bag form. I agree with bod there

I had heard that biodegradable plastics leave micro polymers behind and don't fully compost. Then read on Unicorn's site: "In a nutshell, our bags bio-degrade quite well and the end result is CO2, water and humus โ pretty much what is left after you grow your mushrooms. No microplastics remain."
https://unicornbags.com/testing-bio-degradeable-bags/ Dunno, maybe it has to do with degrading them in a laboratory versus in a real life scenario.

Yeah, they need to be composted in a composting facility. Composting them at home won't do shit.

Ted, are those 4.2 lb bags yielding as good as higher spawn amounts? Like say 5-6 lb bags. I like being able to cram more bags per run in the PCs but don't want to sacrifice yield per tub.

Super Deadly! Can you please elaborate a bit on PC time? I have 3T unicorn bags and 2x23 QT prestos. I live in the mountains of southern Canada. I was thinking ~4 QT bags (maybe 3.5 QT in the bag and .5 QT colonized grain into it.... Thoughts anyone? Thanks.

I can fit 6, 4 qt bags of popcorn (4.2lbs) snugly into pc. I do a ten minute purge and then 16 psi for 2 hours.

I still gotta try this.
Ted- Are you bringing the aa75x all the way up to pressure, then relieving it back to 0 then then all the way back up to pressure before starting the timer? Or can you get away with a 5 minute vent in the beginning like with a stove top presto?
I ask because the user manual recommends doing it like that. It takes a long long time to get thru an entire cycle!

i don't know what ted does but i was popping a lot of bags when i first got my 75. Then i stopped with the prescribed vent and went with the good ol ten minute of good steam and they stopped popping.
As always correlation does not imply causation but it seemed like that's what changed to fix the popping.

No relieving at pressure. Thats for lab equiptment. 10 minute vent as verum prescribed. The manual isnt talking about sterilizing grain bags.
I cant find the thread but this was being talked about a while back and venting at pressure can definitely pop bags
