Increase PC time????
    #27315459 - 05/19/21 07:03 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Do you increase PC time when loading a 23qrt Presto with LC? This is what I'm PCg:
  • seven 1/2 pints of Josex's POKE LC
  • four 1/2 pints of Pasty's EzLC
  • 2 pints of water
  • 1 syringe of 10cc water

No; the whole PC is going to be at the same temperature no matter how big it is. Why would you add time?

LC is pressure cooked the same as you would agar. They’re pretty much the same thing minus the agar.

It only counts as LC when it has mycelium growing in it. I recommend to PC LC for zero minutes at zero PSI. If it's a nutrient solution for making LC then I also agree with the above. 🙂

I read a lot of teks and found a range of PC time between them (for example 20mins, not more than 30-45mins, 1 hour - for agar, yes, but LC is like agar) and I read a comment somewhere that said because of ...(?? can't remember and can't find that thread ??) they increased the PC time so that the temp would indeed reach the center of all that was loaded so I thought I'd ask.

IF you should increase PC time, I want to understand when and why so I can apply the logic to different PC loads.

Agree, yet in Alien's Holy Grail tek for agar you PC for 1 hour while BOD's Comprehensive Agar tek says 20 mins, not more than 30-45, so I figured loading the PC as I did was kinda like the load for Alien's and since LC and agar are pretty much the same and I'm new to LC I thought the time maybe should be increased ... lol ... in my delima I ran it for 33 minutes :ohwell:

in context Aliens observation had to do with the fact they were in pp5 no pours, insulated in glass mason jars

if that is the case or not, that it needs more time to fully sterilize the medium, the reason was the additional layers to the agar

Liquids will sterilize quick

I'm understanding you to say, in my case above, not to consider all the jars as additional insulation, my situation is not similar to Alien's, I do not need to increase PC time, all jars (even the center ones) will reach the needed temp. Am I understanding you correctly?

correct, I think Aliens thinking would apply if you had the jars you mentioned, inside of yet another jar to be sterilized

I really just wanted to point out the context on the 1hr agar time from the HG thread. I seen it in another post the other day about being confused on the conflicting info and it referenced the 1hr pc time in that thread.
