LC questions!

Doing up some LC today and thought i'd read up on some other teks. I normally take my LC out of the PC like agar and allow to cool in my SAB to use same day. However I am seeing a lot of talk about leaving it over night to cool in your PC. I understand your PC is a sterile environment once sealed and the pressure cook is complete, but other than that is there any other reason to do this? I've done it before with my grain jars, and I've also taken them out as soon as the PC reaches 0psi to be placed in my SAB with no ill effects. So my main question is, should I allow it to cool over night in my PC? I think its a waste of time

We just do that because we dont want to wait until the pc cools.
Its easier to just turn the heat off and go to sleep.

Waste of time IME. I never let mine sit overnight (using every type of filter/lid imaginable including unmodified, pickle jar lids, polyfill, mp tape for filter with rtv port...).

I'm glad to see some others find it as useless as I do. Even with my grain jars I've just been pulling them. I have high heat resistive gloves that fit skin tight which allows me to directly handle my equipment after a PC. Rarely do I work my PC at night and I hate to loose time.

Hell yeah- I use a pair of those vinyl-y dishwashing gloves and yank em when I hear that weight drop. Patience is a virtue I envy, but don't possess... lol

Exactly, it's a waste of time if what you want is using them today.
I could care less if some people are saying you need to leave your stuff in the PC overnight and the weak theories behind it all. I usually take all my stuff out of the PC as soon as the gauge reads zero with no ill effects at all. However, I did find some problems from waiting overnight, for instance and pertaining to your LC question, leaving a malt extract broth overnight will overcook it and make it darker, a.k.a malliard effect, which myc don't like.
If your lid is properly filtered you can take the LC hot without a concern in the world.

Distilled vs tap water isn't an issue here, I used filtered water and liquids are easily sterilized. There is no difference between the source, only difference is sterile technique. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15234219

My lids are modified with three small holes close together, all filtered with polyfil. Exactly what I was thinking, I wasn't trying to cook my nutes out.
