Bubba’s Barrell for Grain Spawn

Hey everyone. I have a question in regards to the Bubba's Barrel mushroom sterilizer and how well it works for grain spawn.
Has anyone used this product for grain in particular the Bubba's barrel product?
In the original thread of Bubba's barrel going live there was one person who commented that it didn't work for his friend and not to use this product for grain. I do understand that others on this forum have used there barrels for grain spawn.
Any comments would help thanks.

Would work for the "cook" not the sterilize.

Is there a reason why it wouldn’t work? There have been other people posting that their steam sterilizer works for grain spawn. Just wondering why this one wouldn’t?

Steam sterilizers are capable of doing grain too. They just take way way longer.
If you want comments on the specific thing you're talking about from a guy named bubba a link would help as I am not in the searching type of mood

That is fancy. Certainly the price tag is anyways. I don't see why it wouldn't work though. Whether grain or substrate it's about core temperature for x amount of time. The guy's design that it is based off of, he used it for grain in a video I saw if my memory serves me. It's late don't quote me on anything I say tonight lol, but steam sterilizing is an old time tested method, and the myers mushrooms guy can sure grow some mushrooms, so if you can afford it and that's the kind of work flow you want then blessings on you sir 
Not for everyone, but looks snazzy.
(Curious: Have you priced alternatives? and/or diy methods?)

Yes they work, takes 24-30 hours due to only cooking at atmospheric pressure. A AA941 can do 40lbs of grain per run in about 2-3 hours.

It did not work for me, and I have that one. It always gets trich after the first flush, sometimes before.

If it contaminated after the first flush how do you know it was due to the sterilization process? I would think that if something went wrong after inoculation than it can perhaps be a problem with the barrel not working.

That's your spawn I'd bet my new flowhood on it.
You spent over 2500 on a prefab steam barrel, and couldn't get it to work???

The best bet is to build your own it will be much cheaper. No need for a stainless drum either just buy a metal drum mix silicone with vm&p naphtha and paint it with the silicone. Or use gaco 100% silicone roof coating. The whole thing can be built for under $300 for a 55 gallon drum.

I like the livestock trough designs that use steam generators made home bathrooms.
Rubbermaid makes a version thats heavy duty black plastic and won't rust out on you after a while. I believe they make prefab covers for the rubbermaid as well...
Somebody in another thread built that Willy Myco deathtrap made by routing the steam from a PC into an HDX container and it worked as advertised. I'd be interested in alternate steam generation solutions to go along with the rubbermaid tank.

If HDX containers don't melt, I can't imagine these will.

Definitely, I agree. Can't know for sure, but I guess no one can really ever know how or where the contamination came from, due to the nature of so many variables. However, when I switched to autoclaving, I started to get more flushes with no trich.
