You never have a problem wit under sterilization doing 6 bags in a presto. Also mine runs outta water if I run it for over 2 hrs

Then you arent doing it right :shrug:

I run my presto for 3hrs bare minimum. You have to turn down the heat on your stove
once it reaches 15psi. Your jiggler should only jiggle once a minute or so.

I put weight on mine so it doesnt jiggle at all and holds 15psi on low heat
after an hour.

Yeah the coins make a world of difference. I followed ayeplus's bag Tek and never looked back. I don't fill my PC up as much, 6 bags is perfect for a 23qt.

I was jamming 6 4qt bags... 2 layers of 3,one layer of jar rings under the trivet and a plate on top of the bags/under the lid... 24qts in a 23qt presto lol

Lower the temp once its rocking, so that it moves very little or not at all while maintaining pressure... should lose nearly no water at all

Bags need 2.5-3hrs (elevation and grain dependent) to properly sterilize

Are you guys using spacers in between bags I think my seal on my presto has a leak. Do you use 2 quarters to not make it giggle.  Wen you run it for 3 hrs. Do you allow your bags to touch the sides of the PC walls

I dont use spacers, bags against the walls, they're designed for it... I lower the temp to keep it hovering at 150psi it barely jiggles and only occasionally: a coin should work also...

Ok so your Tek is Mason jars lids under the bottom rack then 2 layers of 3 bags. Bags touching bags as well. And a quarter taped to the top of weight. And low temp. I also see mine leak water from the top seal. Do I need need rubber ring. Not a lot of water but a few drops come out. Also bags according folded wit the with second layer on too of the bottoms according fold bags

I dont use a coin personally: but I've seen a few others say they do... I take the rubber seal out and kind of stretch it slightly, running my finger around the inside of the seal to fan it.back out a bit: once it starts to build pressure, itll hold itself in place... if it's a persistent issue, you can replace the seal with presto parts for like $6USD

I trifold my bags so that the first fold is at the grain, and leaves the patch facing up, then I center the patch face down over the first fold(should be center of the top of the bag) and the 3rd fold back over on top to meet the second fold, stacking them.in the presto with the mouth of each bag facing inward: this allows me to grav the final fold and lift the bag without compromising the mouth of the bags

I just don't understand how I'm running outta water is it from the weight giggling whole time.i have also broke bags from having the bags touching with no spacers. But if you guys says it works I will deff retry u
Update I tried the 6 bags with no spacers worked great put two quarters on the OC weight gage an ran it for 3 hrs. Then I measured the water after the cycle it was about 2 qts  thanks guys

If I did 6 4quarts it would be SO packed. Is that okay? Would I use jar lids? I'm only doing 4 4quarts and I'm using a brick as a spacer, gives me like a inch of water.

A brick would take up the space of a whole bag or more in a 23qt. No wonder you only get in 4 bags.

Trivet on bottom with a couple rings under it, layer of2  bags separated by rings, trivet, layer of 2 bags separated by rings, trivet, last layer of 2 bags, trivet on top.

Thats how I do it with unsealed accordion folded bags with between 3 and 4 actual quarts.

I've been able to cram 13-2 lb bags into my Presto. I use those bags with smaller amounts and inoculate with agar, then g2g to larger bags.

So basically about the same volume of grains that everyone is saying, I just have more bags
